Non-RPers Unite!

i'm not really up to snuff on how you RP in an MMO. i thought if you were playing a role playing game, you kinda already were role playing. but if i was to guess what role playing is, is it this:

Night gathers, and now my watch begins. It shall not end until my death.

I shall take no wife, hold no lands, father no children. I shall wear no crowns and win no glory. I shall live and die at my post. I am the sword in the darkness. I am the watcher on the walls. I am the fire that burns against the cold, the light that brings the dawn, the horn that wakes the sleepers, the shield that guards the realms of men.

because that kind of talking might get very irritating while trying to explain what ppl should do in pt

If it makes you feel better, I knew exactly what you meant. What you are posting is a given though, sadly. Everyone knows we're all losers for playing this stuff, it's just that even among losers there are varying classes.

This is the most discriminatory comment yet and the real heart of the matter. The moment people start drawing lines instead of appreciating individuality and respecting both similarities as well as differences, is the moment people become "bad" people.

I still don't get the hate on RPers..... and I find it funny that most of the time people think RP=Sex lol........ I was on Mysida, but I will be switching over to Balmung, I RP off and on, depending on how serious I need to be, and RPing does not mean that I start spouting out crazy crap. It could be something as simple as saying, "god I hate this place, got sand in my boots" or "hey thats my tail!"

People that RP show that they still have a healthy imagination, and this day in age of advanced graphics and stuff, that is a good thing to have.

Everyone I know who RPs keeps it and things like party or endgame separate unless something is set up to be in character.

It's very true and coming from XI where I didn't even know there was RP, I saw this kind of roleplay in all of my linkshells at some part or another.

Thank you, as I consider this a compliment. I would much rather be accused of discrimination and hated by all than sit on the fence pandering to all available parties for popularity points. I am curious, how many times have you checked back on your post to see how many people gave it a "thumbs up"? I gave you a +1 as well.



Pic related, it's you.

how is this thread still alive and not locked? Personal attacks.. homophobia... Angry swearing... Completely off topic (and back.. and off topic again) several times.... highly offensive tags
I don't even get it
I clearly don't understand the rules and policies
I'm going to go re-read them again....

I love Urthdigger. I also love the ignore list. Goodbye, Brigandier.

Nothing wrong with role-playing in a role-playing game. Regardless of how much you agree with or like the term, the point of an rpg is that you are taking on the ROLES of fictional characters and PLAYING a GAME as them. The level at which you want to take on that role is completely up to you, and discriminating against that is just plain biggotry.

I swear, these forums are the number one place to go when you are feeling just a little bit too good and happy and need a nice dose of depression.
