By the way, in absence of RP I'd also be happy to play if the game had skimpy outfits for chicks

Then harass XilliX and co. into giving me a spot on the settings team.

I sometimes wonder if shutting down the forums would increase roleplay in game.

[Timmothy Perriwinkle]

Nah. An unofficial PS forum would pop up in a day for us all to whine on.

For once I agree. This is the only thing keeping lurkers from disappearing entirely...

I doubt it Timmothy, you might've got off on the wrong foot with Xillix.

No.

Possibly.

And nasty trolls.
And people who play but whine.
And people who have quit but hang around.
And people who have quit but like to hang around and whine about the game.
And finally, regular players.

[Lhaa]

Ah, but no fun for the oldbies without forums, they are a perfect place to blab about how great they once were.
However, to increase RP and its quality IG all this bickering is good for nothing. See by yourself...



Half of these 46 players don't even know RP exists and the other half are still trying to find somebody else worthy to RP with.
Who are you going to run all these marvelous plots with?

I'm simply asking that you accept that our experience may not be as outdated or as you think, and it may apply to the current community better than you think.

she plays, you don't, you're clueless as to what the game is like. why don't you get online and confirm that your experience isn't obsolete?

Touché.

And finally, regular players.

None of the people who posted in this thread (including myself) is in-game right now. So...
No, regular players are playing the game and not wasting their time here.

You cannot say with 100% certainty that none of us are online with an alt of some sort.

I may not be online right now, but I am an active regular player.

Fact:

Regular players use the forums.

[Phinehas]

It's always such a humbling experience to stop by these forums. I mean, if it wasn't for you people I might have forgotten that I have no worth, my experience means nothing, any reminiscing or attempting to draw conclusions from the past that I do is whining, none of my efforts on behalf of the community in any way qualify me for any respect, and that none of my thoughts have any merit. It's a wonder I don't stop by more often. I mean, who wouldn't want to sacrifice time and energy for you people?

@Timmothy: Technically, you can say that. You'd just be mildly delusional.

@Auran: Ah yes, Savion. Now I remember. He was... unique.

[Timmothy Perriwinkle]

@Timmothy: Technically, you can say that. You'd just be mildly delusional.

You're right, any member of the PS community can say that.

Fact:

Okay I trust you, the forums reflect what the players think.
I fail to understand how come the last wipe thread had a bunch of people creating new accounts just to post there. Check all the names of people with less than 10 posts there again and look for what else have they spoken their mind about. Strange though, if you played lately all of those names sound pretty familiar.

Sure, some regular players use the forums, usually ones tending to RP. You forget the other 80% of the playerbase, and stating what's said in the forums is what the real community thinks is naive to say the least.

[Illysia]

@Lhaa: Most of the community can't be bothered to give input until there is a reward at stake and you know it.

@Phinehas: And about you having no worth and your experience meaning nothing, nobody has said that so there is no need for sarcasm.  Sorry, couldn't resist.

[Timmothy Perriwinkle]

...Which is you, just proving her point.

I am the player, I am the playerbase, I am the community.

But Timmothy, Illysia is re-asserting Lhaa's point and you know it.  

[Illysia]

Yeah Lhaa often does make valid but unfortunate observations. Sorry, but you can't accommodate those who don't speak up. Nobody practices Lahar(sp?) in RL. However, you can till do things based on observations made from within the game.  Oh but it should be noted that regular players are in fact wasting their lives reading these post even if they don't jump into the fray.
