actually the reason why im here is because my account got hacked. I didnt feel like gettin all my crap back so I thought it was time for a new one anyways. But dont start bashing me because i liked the game. it wasnt that bad of a game, and im deffinally not a fan boy but to say a game is crap when its actually pretty good and free, thats just retarded.

I managed to finish tutorial in runescape, I couldn\'t stand it any longer.
Anyway, it seems like runescape has nothing to do with roleplaying and if mmorpg has nothing to do with roleplaying, then yes, it is crap

Oye.
That explains a lot...
 :rolleyes: You do realize how stupid you sound in this thread, don\'t you?  No?
Bah.

Well, OT things first. Smoking does cause cancer, too bad.  Let\'s show you some logic here.
Inhaling smoke from a fire is not good for you.
Therefore, since a cigarette is lit and burned by fire, inhaling from it is not good for you.  Got that?  Good.

Now, on-topic stuff.  Whemy, you are a nutcase.  Calling RP\'ing \"Tightwad\" in a game such as planeshift will ensure your scorning.  That has already happened.

Human interpretations of feelings differ.  Since relaxation is a feeling, interpretations of it differ as well.  Your view of relaxation is not like mine at all.  My view includes rp\'ing.  I don\'t find cussing jerks very relaxing.  
Say I come up to and start cussing and blabing and flaming you because of your almost \'anti\'-rp\'ing views.  Wouldn\'t that be stressful, not relaxing?

If you are going to keep that attitude of yours go back to 5p00n5c@p3.

1st to be off topic, smoking is not 100% proven to cause cancer, if it was then the tobacco companies would all be out on the streets. Their still doing pretty well for themselves. Im not saying its not bad for you. Ever since we wrapped a herb in paper and lit it on fire and inhalled the burning contents, we never once thought \"wow i feel healthier already!\" I know its bad for you, but its not proven it gives you a deadly terminal deasease that is non curable.

2ndly I dont care if I look stupid in this thread because I\'ve posted the truth the whole time, and never exagerated the truth to make a point as much of you have.

3rdly i never called the rping community tightwads. I called them tightwads, if they were in the general channel expecting only rping to be discussed. This is because there would be another channel for that to be mentioned.

4thly to add to that I rp as well. I dont hate rping, nor do i flame it. I in fact enjoy it. But once in a while, I like to have fun kill a couple of monsters, make some funny comments, in which some of them involve cursing. I dont want to say \"in laanx\' name\" or any of that crap, because it doesnt feel like anything i would say. Maybe i cuss for fun to blow off a little steam? Your life isnt the only one that is stressfull.

Lastly i would like to say \"stop bashing runescape\" Just because you didnt enjoy it doesnt mean that no one else did either. Im here because my account got hacked. This is fault on my part for having such a simple password. The game is not horrible, the people on it are mostly nice (yes thats a very good thing, freakin moron) and although the roleplaying part may not be part of the game, name 6 games that actually do involve rp. Now give me 3 online ones. Theres almost none. Morrowind is the only game that was actually fun to RP for me and maybe NWN, but so far none of them count as MassiveMultiplayerOnlineRolePlayingGames.

does it change the fact that if mmorpg has nothing to do with roleplaying then it is crap? Not really.
oh and:
Fallout, Morrowind, ADOM
EQ, UO, very long list of MUD\'s
that would make a bit more than 6 games that involve rp and 3 online ones.

btw: I don\'t see how discussion about runescape is on topic

[Kixie]

fall out does a good job at rping but i cant say much else for the rest of the list that you have made. Eq roleplays just as much as r00nscape, i mean the people that play are the same ones who play r00nscape. Muds are not massive so that takes the muds out, and as for UO, the rping in that game was great but became very sour and empty as the flood of the newbs occurred. Now actually none of these games count because they do not involve rping. They have players who choose to rp, but you never have to rp to play the game. Hopefully PS will be a first, but like i said, I would like to take a break once and a while and lollygag around and joke around.

[Draklar]

you asked for games that involve rp, not force it, and:
Fallout - ok
Morrowind - you can do pretty much what you want, be evil or good, follow your role
ADOM - I bet you have no idea what this is, anyway a game that gave a lot of possibilities to rp
EQ - people don\'t roleplay, but game itself gives the possibility, it\'s full world where you can do what you want.
UO - as above
MUD\'s - you said online, nothing about massively (however you could find that without bigger problems) again gives possibility to roleplay

and no, go and bash monsters isn\'t something I call \"full world\"

[OT]
Well now, where do you think I came from?
That\'s right, Racoonscape.
It\'s good for a java game, I\'ll give it that.  But it does get boring.
Anywho, my computer can play better games than that for the same free price tag.

I still don\'t understand those people that hunt crystals all day...  ?(

haha...me neither man

As for runescape, I played like 5mins total time...people just gave me stuff...I clicked a bunch of times...and I won. :baby:

Anyways, I don\'t see what any of this last argument has to do with profanity in PLANESHIFT...who cares what other games do, they also have pay to play.

Ok..... It has been proven to cause cancer...

It actually contains 52 ingredients that cause cancer...

And tobacco companies aren\'t on the streets because
they simply have too much money.  Also, teenagers get snagged every day.

And I have also given up on xtal hunting.

On-Topic

Even if there will be in-game moderators, people will still come to Planeshift who haven\'t witnessed someone getting kicked out, or who have no respect for them.  Therefore, it would be wise to make a screen in the install sequence where you agree to follow in-game rules and restrictions.

[Deddarus]

couldnt hurt

[Kiern]

Cancer blah blah blah, the smell is horrible, I make people who go in my store smelling like that get the hell out.

Yeah Levski, but not many people would read it anyways, there isn\'t much of a better way to do it without seeming too harsh though...not that I care about things being too harsh

[elKano]

It\'s been a quite long time since last visited the region, and nothing has changed :->

About smoking, technically, it does not provoke cancer. It helps it appearing. If you do not have a genetic tendence to cancer (and that happens) you won\'t have cancer by smoking. However, it is still bad for you in other ways. And it does stink. It also has good effects (or people wouldn\'t do it) as helping brain activity, and removing stress.
Moreover, it is absolutely irrefutable that living provokes death. That won\'t stop us loving life, would it?

About language, I have to agree more with Kiern. Freedom is a wonderful thing, but it also carries a heavy responsability. Freedom asks for respect. In the real world, respect is less and less present; in the online worlds, it is almost unexistant in too many cases.
I can not see a good reason to play a role-playing game when you do not want to role-play. When you are in Yliakum, it is not you, human computer user, who is there, it is some other character you are animating. It has not your cultural background, maybe not even your personality. However, you created it. Now, play the game, or leave.

I hate freedom limitations. But this is about a different freedom. The freedom to be an Yliakum unhabitant, and not a teleported Earth unhabitant lost in Yliakum.

[AendarCallenlasse]

Ok where to start.

First of all why the hell are cigarettes being discussed here?  That has nothing to do with profanity in PS.

Second  Whemy there are hundreds of MUDS that are massive.  Massive doesn\'t mean graphics.

Third  I played Runscape.  I played for a day.  I hated it.  And in case you haven\'t noticed that game\'s name has been censored.  Say anything?  I think so.

Fourth  RL Profanity shouldn\'t be used in game because none of it pertains to PS.  You can\'t say \"God D*mn it\" in game because there is no \'God\'  People in the PS world would say something along the lines of \"By Laanx\"  It doesn\'t sound bad because you don\'t use it in rl.  If your character grew up in PS it would be bad.  

But once in a while, I like to have fun kill a couple of monsters, make some funny comments, in which some of them involve cursing. I dont want to say \"in laanx\' name\" or any of that crap, because it doesnt feel like anything i would say. Maybe i cuss for fun to blow off a little steam? Your life isnt the only one that is stressfull.

Fifth  whemy if you need to cuss to blow off steam do it somewhere else, not in a game where other people want to play in peace.  anyone who openly cusses on shouts in PS is simply looking for attention.  I am no saint I cuss all the time.  But I wouldn\'t walk down the street shouting at the top of my lungs.  I would mutter it under my breath or simply say to myself.  So if you need to cuss in game why would you shout it everytime?

4thly to add to that I rp as well. I dont hate rping, nor do i flame it. I in fact enjoy it.

Sixth LMAO.

i never called the rping community tightwads. I called them tightwads, if they were in the general channel expecting only rping to be discussed. This is because there would be another channel for that to be mentioned

Seventh, let\'s see this is a roleplaying game...this is the section for posting info about a role playing game....hmm so how are they being tightwads again?[/COLOR]

[Deddarus]

i look upon this game as a place you CAN RP if u want to... i dont believe it was ever stated that it should be mandatory... sometimes i like to talk RL stuff with my ingame buddies.. that so bad?

sepperate chat channels would mean that if im talking RL stuff i dont ruin the atmosphere of thr RPers... however instead of subscribing to only 1 channel... just have 2 sepperate chat windows (or 2 panels within the same 1)... then RPers could choose to close the NON-RP window if they dont wish to have the atmosphere riuned
