Roleplayers have disappeared.

[Kagey]

I am sad to say I rarely see some good roleplay people anymore.. If any its usually a druid macroing it in his porting service..

Wheres all the good Troll/Ogre RP like the old days. Only a select few could truly master the proper Troll RP talk.

And Filbus I know your gonna be all "hey wtf my tales" but you don't talk like that in game or in vent.. I've heard you say some nasty grown up tings.

Roleplay is strong on RED, a server where cowards are not welcome.

Then why is Heartbrand/Checkraise, the guy who hid in the Last Man Standing contest, doing so well for himself there

[iruinedyourday]

literatly the best thing this community could get would be a RP server where non RP was bannable

it would have like 300-600 pop and be all feels

[quido]

some Ogre I ported today was roleplaying Ogre and I didn't realize it for a while - I think I got trolled

[Daywolf]

Well I'm still here
"Woof!"
"Woof!"
And I'm all for an RP rule-set server (i.e classic Firiona Vie server). Especially trivial loot rules and racial languages. Only rule that is unenforceable here is single character slot. btw banning for being a dork is not classic, some did it on FV live but didn't last long (thanks to ignore). Of course that all went out the window when they revamped the ruleset years later :mad:

[Daywolf]

i never understood... what is the appeal/connection between rp and trivial loot code?
It makes vet players somewhat reliant on newbie players in certain situations/needs, resulting in interaction etc. RP isn't just what you say but also what you do, and interaction is a key to the formula. Currently, most capped characters wouldn't notice any difference if 80% of the server population on blue were banned tomorrow, apart from the altoholics of course. That's simply a result of immersion game-play style, while even at casual-RP style levels (my general pref over hard-core RP) one would notice the difference if 80% vanished.

I run into RPers all the time in game!

If you want a fun troll RPer, try chatting up Flergh :)

hehe reminds me of this gem from fansy erra:

[Wed Jun 12 15:58:49 2002] Kelton says out of character, 'wtf happened here'
[Wed Jun 12 15:59:02 2002] Xebz says out of character, 'KELTON FAST GET OUT'
[Wed Jun 12 15:59:14 2002] Kelton says out of character, 'lol naw'
[Wed Jun 12 15:59:33 2002] Priest of Discord shouts 'Let this fool's meaningless death be a reminder to you all that the power of Discord is absolute!'
[Wed Jun 12 15:59:33 2002] Kelton has been slain by Priest of Discord!

http://www.notaddicted.com/fansy3.php

I think about and chortle at the 'lol naw' followed the the imidiate POD slay and chortle all the time. It just sums up the hubris people have in EQ walkn around, thinkin they own shit... But, they dont own shit!

Flergh is amazing and hilarious! I've grouped with him a few times on my rogue. He never breaks character. A+

[Daywolf]

cool i can respect that thx for info.... one of the things i always liked about being a classic newb was when a high level would show up lookin for stuff i could help with...

only other semblance of this idea that had occurred to me was creating a new-to-server chr on SZ and getting helped into a death loop
Yeah, makes a big difference, interaction. Take for instance the regular servers after a time, where vets needed nothing from newbies, but if you were a vet that wandered into a newbie starting area and you had tracking, the newbies would constantly beg you for help to find mob drops for their magic newbie quest armor. Then you wind up having nothing to do with low/mid level armor drops, became simply vendor trash.

You find a true newbie on even just blue now the way it is, and drop a set of splitpaw on them, their speechless. But then the interaction is even better when both vet and newbie have needs that the other can fulfill. Classic mmo's, ...what ever happened to them? :(

[Ivory]

I RP on my characters :)

Dimini Clerik - Gnomish cleric in training! (Really a necromancer, level 40 now!) Early on her friend died and she tried to revive him....but being a not-so-great cleric, she only got the bones (and since then he tends to be pretty giggly...so she nicknamed him "Happy"). Now she is on an epic adventure to become a great cleric and revive him completely some day!! If even she isn't quite like other clerics....

Undead also seem to behave oddly when she is around and get more talkative. It is pretty common to find skeletons telling jokes while she is in the zone.

"You know why skeletons hate parties? Because they have no body to dance with...-shakey shakey-"



Lottei Lil'Paladin - The first gnomish paladin! A gnome becoming a paladin was said to be impossible, but Lottei has been on an epic adventure to prove herself as one from the start! It was my first character on the server, so began questing around the world at level 4. She is a pretty good paladin now.


Gnomes like adventure, I go on lots of adventures :3

You can RP here and there. I usually end up RPing with people who I never met before. BDA sucks for it nowadays and you only ever see me there. Kisses

Trivial loot code is anti-rp.

Very difficult to roleplay on the forums. Nobody respects it. At most you can just post a thread and hope people like it. After the first page it becomes the same "try red"/"bda sucks"/"i'm less neckbeard than you" spam as everything else.

[Sodors Finest Poster]

Have a camp dispute?

Someone training you?

Feel your spot in the pixel lines was not respected?

Forum RP? ...but... this is an mmorpg :)
Should I fly my new kite outside today, or stay in and fly it?
I made a stack of lion sandwiches for just such an occasion.

Nonsense! The forum seethes RP, though mostly in its lower regions (RNF & OT).

[manguard]

I see casual role play in-game, but it seems to take a lower priority than OMG MAD DASH 4 ELF PIXELS. With so many serous business pixel hunters, it tends to discourage those of us who are willing to role play.

I try to stay in character as much as I can on Serous.

I used to RP in game on live regularly. Brell Serelis also had a very strong server forum where the RP section was frequented by many.

I miss this :(

Wish I could find my old RP stories. I'm sure they were garbage, but would be fun to see.

EQ is about min maxing and loot. RP gets in the way.
