My ideas to bring RP back.

[Bonifarzia]

If you have nothing constructive to say, it's best you don't post anything at all.

Heheh, that reminds me of Sen's signature.

So, another discussion about the antagonism between roleplay and game mechanics emerges, just like the periodic revival of the wipe hysteria few weeks ago. But is the situation truly as dramatic as one might assume when reading the emotional disputes on the forums?

... I have not played this version of Planeshift, yet...

Well, once you have an opportunity to spend a little time in Hydlaa again, you will find your personal answer to that question. I do not say i disagree with the concepts and ideas in your comments, Ulfer. As in the other periodic discussion, my advice is not to worry to much.

Back to the proposed ideas, I conclude that being very restrictive and bureaucratic will not have the desired effect, without drifting away into a deeper explanatory statement.

Mmm. Troll food.

If that's what life on the RP server is suppose to be about (oppression, reporting and pulling silly rules out of your waste disposal), then it's good that RP is dead. More so, it should be beheaded with a shovel, driven a flock through it's heart and buried in a coffin full of garlic. Just to be sure that it stays dead.

Two points (1 cent each):

1. If you try to force people in doing what they are not interested in doing they'll just log off and eventually leave.

2. PS did not come up with the guild concept. Commercial games did and they did for one reason and one reason only: Socializing. The point of guilds is not somehow enhance settings. It is a tool for binding players to a community. Restricting guildformation is just another suicide attempt when you want to build a playerbase.

[Geoni]

Yeah, who said guild formation was to be restricted? Did you read the thread? On Ezpcusa you can form a guild for OOC reasons, but when it comes to a guild on the RP server it needs to be IC and have an impact on the community. Yes, the roleplay community, the only real playerbase that this game has hopes of attracting, that is, if it reforms its ways.

Ha...to think this game can attract PLers and keep them playing...

Build your own game - with own content and own settings. Host your own server. Be happy.

I will, instead, stay here, play as serious or as loosely as I like, meet friends I like to play with, ignore others who want to change my style rather than accept it, and be happy.

Okay! I'll be more than happy to help Xillix with his new project TA.

i wouldnt be surprised if talad got pissy with you for that comment.

i can agree with this one :3

What needs to happen is the definition of RP in PS needs to be clearly stated somewhere as it is apparently much different than what is expected elsewhere. Whatever the standard is people need fair warning. But this will never happen as it would need to come from the PS Team and they don't concern themselves with such things.
