RP Gods
Some MMORPGs have people RPing the gods. Not sure if this would work on kingdoms, as there is a horrid lack of rping, but thought I would mention it. Maybe would work for "god wars", as was mentioned in other post.
Sorry for short post, but am v. sick and should not stay at computer long as it hurts my head. |

The tags would be like (Diety) Erik Heimdal the (Diety) or something maybe something like (Diety of <dominion>) (Diety of Soverignty) [Priest] (Diety of Warfare) [Warrior] (Diety of Wealth) [Thief] (Diety of Power) [Barbarian] (Diety of Science) [Alchemist] |
level 9? If they're a god they should be like level 15.

If you're a god you should be unhurtable but completely unable to fight (except in special battles), and chosen purely for your RPing ability. It would be a case of giving up everything you own (skills, items, weapons, whatever) for the roleplaying opportunity.
|
Actually, when in tag, you can't fight, but have more access to other people, etc. When off tag, you're OOT, so you can fight, etc.

Hurtable and able to fight, but not die. Like in the Iliad and other Greek novels. When I think it's Diomedes, stabs Ares/Mars with a spear, Ares retreats in pain and his wounds are closed by Zeus. |
Godhood shouldn't be an aid to PKing. Either the God player would be normal-powered, in which case everybody would say 'wtf that god is not very powerful', or he'd be super-powered, in which case everyone would complain because idiots like boukon would get chosen and become even more powerful. If you give power with the position then all it'll ever be is a power commodity, not an RPing role.

Player-gods should be powered by popularity. Evil gods with many fans are powerful, good gods with many fans are powerful, stupid newbie PKer gods with no fans are weaker than if they were regular mortals and so Descend.

He this is a very old thread revived, but when i still had my PW project i had the same idea... Gods RPed by people are the pwn... |
Oh help us please.
9 months since the last reply! Please would you people stop? I've already chastised another careless mind within the past 5 minutes for the exact same thing. |
Bumping old threads is the coolest.
If you don't think so, then you obviously need to go hit yourself with a broken coke bottle. |
I only revive threads which make sense, and this one does. Else you'd've been flamed by Loriel restoring Voodo Master :O

It's hard enough to play an incomplete character (i.e. one with weaknesses, a tricky past and such), I doubt anyone on GK would be able to properly rp as an omnipotent being, without people complaining - specially about what they think of as abuse, no matter whether it is or not. I'd say it'd be too much trouble to a) find someone, b) keep him/her in check, c) deal with all the complaints, and d) still it would not get people to RP - I doubt few followers of Govannon would do what an apropriate player orders them to do.

Maybe instead of Kingdoms, we could have religions, and the current kings of kingdoms would become gods an everyone his followers, and instead of islands, we could have cathedrals and temples and mosques and caves

More bumping of threads ^^

Even if such a person who was truly trustworthy and stuff did exist, he would never be found. The staffers who would have the power to implement this diety jazz dont know -everyone- on the server, and even if they did meet this totally trustworthy person, they wouldn't know anything about them and wouldnt know if they were to be trusted or not and stuff. The only way we could do some form of player-diety stuff is just to do it within rings of friends. So like, a bunch of people get together and they say "Hey, we all worship govannon, let's start a cult!" and they go around trying to convert people to govannon or smiting those who badmouth govannon (no, not just going around pking anyone who doesnt worship govannon -_-) - there could be little skirmishes between say bile and brigid cults though :) To add staff powers into this and alter a player to make him dietyified wouldnt work, it's just an invitation to jealousy, corruptedness and PKing o_o |

Maps weren't released those days. I think the strongest person was Boukon or VoodooMaster who were lvl.18 :rolleyes: NUBS!

lol, the ideas arent too bad, but a little too much work, I dont think it would ever happen, but still, its good to post your ideas.

Making people into gods just because they have a high level... something smells wrong about that.
And DragonX, you're still alive? :eek: |

I don't think it works like that either way - making people into gds because they have a good level has nothing to do with rping, while giving rpers a high level to play gods will cause people to complain and cry abuse. If at all, high-leveled rpers should get that position, or rather, in my opinion, nobody at all.
