Which Server?

[Tuxide]

No, just the half that makes up my KOS list.

[Gravemind]

I wouldn't even want to go near the new server

A) because my mage character has two ways mastered and 1 way half done. That's like half a year's work

B) EZPCUSA has no RP, therefore having a character means nothing unless you're the most game-mechanically powerful character there is

[Prolix]

hmm sounds like A and B conflict there buddy!
How much of those Ways' levels were spent standing in a field somewhere jonesing on the spell macro doing nothing useful?
I'd have to say more power to you if if every spell you cast was used for effect and not just for practice.
I do understand not wanting to abandon the effort, of course.

[Gravemind]

How do you mean? I was saying I spent that much time working on magic skills so I could use them in an RP perspective. 60% of the spells in the game don't HAVE an effect lol. And how would it be any more useful doing it on ezpc?

[Waylander]

I shall, from time to time, grace both servers with my spectacular presence!  On yee olde fragnetics I shall do my besteth to uphold yee virtues of what children now calleth Roleplay and upon the newly born ezpcusa I shall do absolutely nothing of value, what so ever.

Hear ye, hear ye.

Or does that go at the beginning...

In a somewhat less ridiculous writing style, Myth, you do have a tendency to take Zanzi's words in the worst possible way.  Perhaps reading them over a few times will help.  Not to say Zanzi never says anything that could offend you but, there's rather little point in seeking offense out where there is none.

[Prolix]

For example early levels of brown way, if you are casting your rock armor and not going in to combat, I would consider that just useless practice. That is just me of course. Casting defensive wind is the same. I would find it acceptable to cast one of each per combat. Personally I would prefer that those two spells worked like armor, if they reduce damage you get a practice point. I do not know that they actually do reduce damage or block hits or anything.

I am not really faulting you for trying to back up your character story, it is a failing of the mechanics that training magic is generally casting passive magic over and over to no purpose.
Actually I applaud you making the effort.  For me I am whatever my character is, he may end up being great but the game is in the getting there. That is what I learned in the pen and dice days. In those days if you were not off on an adventure you got no credit for using your abilities and even then if the DM thought you were being cheesy he'd tell you it was wasted effort.

I do not suppose it would be much different on the new server but you could play a different type of character. As for there being no role play most of the people I have talked to have been role players, I am the least of them, I say what I have to say whether IC or OOC. It is all about the game, though.

Yup!

A valid point of view.
I have another one: I do not cast Rock Armor when I'm already under its effect. However, I travel the wilderness wearing it, and casting it when the effect disappears (if I remember to do so). One wants to be protected at all times in risky areas, and does not wait to face danger; one wants to prevents bad surprises as well.
Technically, the mechanics could make a protection spell fail when it's already active, if that behaviour were to be chosen.

[Pizik]

I am sure that Mages of Yliakum would cast spells without intending to use their effects actively, purely to practice their abilities.

[Mathy Stockington]

Now the BIG question is....
which server will you play on?

If you say 'both'.....
which one will you spend most of your time playing on?

Then the final questions.....
Will you role play on both servers?
Will you level on both servers?

I wonder how off topic you people can get. It makes me laugh. Back to the questions above please.

[Rheos]

I'll be on both but mostly on Laanx.
Using the new one as a back up when laanx fails. (can't do much if they're both down but hey ho)

I already RP and level on laanx

I'm not averse to RP on the new server but it will be if the occasion demands.
Certainly to start with it's going to be mostly levelling on the new server, just to get the stats up to something useable for what I want to do.

[verden]

I'll be staying on the new server. Its quieter. And more solid. The expressiveness of the PS client is enjoyable, so I will continue to use RP functions to express the character, but definitely am not doing any massive RP argument-fests like are common on Laanx.

[zanzibar]

OOC argument-fests over who owns which spawns are a hundred times worse.

[verden]

And worse than that is gratuitous drama, like the kind displayed in that remark. And actually, no, as an argument over a spawn point has a clear objective.

You don't own any spawn point.


Which server?
Currently most of the times neither. I just lack time and mood.. sure I could possibly take the time from somewhere, but I still kinda lack the latter then.

but maybe it's just some phase.
