If you actually rp, there will never not be anything to do. If you just want to powerlvl, then things are gonna get boring ;)

It\'s quite unlikely that ppl will reach a high level in PS, because there are no levels in PS (only skills)...

I haven\'t heard of anything special/unique for high skill characters that don\'t want to rp.

Heh,  you realize that every second n00b doesn\'t want to roleplay now a days...I blame...hmmm....Aendar!!!

Anyways, maybe we should make it more evident that it is mainly roleplaying.

You have fun maxing out every skill in the game, meanwhile, we\'ll set you up for your grand 50th birthday!
Anyway, you do realize that RP is a big part of Planeshift, and if you don\'t like RP, you\'re probably better off at another game. However, if you want to get ze phat lewt, we wont stop you.
Browsing the forums when I\'m bored, nothing more.

After CB content will be added much more often. So they say...
A new day, a new failure!

Maxing out every skill in the game = powerlvling
If you care about having uber high skills, then you powerlvl :) Especially as you lose skill pts if you don\'t use skills, so you\'d have to train 24/7 to keep everything. And you can\'t \'max out\' the skills. There isn\'t a max you can get :P Now who\'s the newbie ehh?

I was going to say about \"no level\" but it has been said already... =P
Anyway, i can always join a guild and take part of guildwars. Or you can try to achieve hard things like being the best crafter (both armor and weaponry) there is, or the best cook, or the best whatever... or maybe you can try \"create\" your own empire... hiring people, playing a merchant role...
Or you can try to prove yourself as a great warrior by hunting the most dangerous creatures.
You can also go to the tavern have some ale and tell good old stories about the time when you were a little Ylian...
You can do any of this, and with some roleplay it can become something really fun.
As far as I know from the CVS and all the rumors and posts, seems like CB is going to have a lot of content to keep you entertained.

Nah, people will powerlevel.  Sure RP will be a huge thing in the game, but if all you want is people to RP then you don\'t need CB you can use MB.  What I mean is, people do want uber high skills thats why they train, you don\'t want to have a huge guild war and not be able to fight at all...

People will powerlevel for the sake of RP also.  \"Gee, I need to get all these swords in for Master Drake, or he\'ll have my head!  I better go grind those easier swords so I can make the special order faster.\"

should make it so that you have to RP X amount of time before any of your skills can go up, and then every 5% after that you have to spend another X amount of time RPing, that will get rid of non RPers and will make rpers jump for joy becasue they dont have to deal with noobies running around killing everything and screeming i L33t!

How\'re they going to know whether you\'re RPing or just talking about music with your friends?  Also that brings up another good thing... We need a good mute button... I cannot stress that enough, although there is most likely one already implemented.
