It's all true, I'm afraid. Please pray for me.
So, we've had some good beef going and everyone's been entertained. Alas, I consider it time to disguise it up with some good, old fashioned, on-topic information. Just so Phinehas doesn't get mad at us.
Now that I've been playing consistently for more than a month I've been able to make some actual observations of the In-Game community. (Note that my previous summary of PlaneShfit's Community status has been mainly based on forum talk, which apparently influences the in-game ongoings. I know, it's amazing!)
So, through all this time I've just found 1 or 2 people being out of character. And just twice or thrice did I spot someone blatantly godmodding. I think this means we have a good tutorial thing going, or that people read up about roleplay when they have to choose the server.
Roleplayers are indeed niche-oriented (i.e. play mostly with the same partners only), but, unlike I previously though, people aren't that autistic. I think it's mostly because of time zone, guild and playing area.
There is a level of tolerance (it's been rare to see people disagree with each other's roleplaying) and people don't mind when you propose a correction to an out-of-place situation (i.e. something that doesn't seem to respect settings or characters.)
Deep plots (plots with lots of material [material means character/object/guild relations and background]) are not easy to come by, since they require the activity of several entities (guilds and niches) at the same time, which is hard to accomplish when these entities and niches are quite small (5-15 players, keep in mind that none of my experiences have any statistical value.) Also, people seem to be open to plots and projects, just as long as they can please the Greeks and the Trojans.
So the in-game community lacks some consistence due to lack of GM-oriented plots (sorry pals, events and quests don't count here), to the fact that players are divided into plenty of small guilds and niches that create little or no material (or fail to transmit it) and because Sangwa isn't running this thing. Oh wait, I said that out loud?
This gave me an idea for a wish.
