Funny, because the old Valikorlians from around 5 years back enjoyed large playercounts where a healthy majority RPed.

The last time I logged on the current RPs ignored me when I wanted to learn magic with me my Drow...they could have at least responded with a yes or no but they simply ignored me.

Given that staff can't change how the players act towards each other or newcomers, I'm not sure that noting the level of hospitality is worth the time.

Suggestions for substantive improvements are generally what this thread was created for. Substantive improvements would be, for example, the creation of a train system.

Well I started becoming more developed with the rping and the people but I kept getting ignored but I guess I would have to make a new thread or pm someone of whom it may concern.

I love the graphics, the music, and the overall structure of Valikorlia. The levels are beautiful and there is a visible theme. However, it is a little confusing because you need to get words approved by staff to say? There are no monster to actually role-play with. Weapons are pointless although I understand they are just for show. The server is just boring however when you don't role play.

It is boring because the people act like snobs when you try to join them.

The large majority of things you can roleplay do not need any approval by the Roleplaying Administration. Special abilities, like being able to cast magic, do need approval, because we have had problem after problem with people making themselves too powerful. I'm sure the game wouldn't be fun if everybody could destroy the world with a single spell.

I now cast spell of the infinite, I HAVE JUST SUMMONED SEVEN NUCLEAR MISSILES.


Stuff like that, or even less realistic?

Nuclear missiles wouldn't be allowed, period. Generally, if the spell makes you invincible or uberpowerful, it's likely to not get approved, and you're likely to be punished if you try and use it after being told not to. Summoning a comet to destroy a city is probably out of the question, too. Creating a literal tornado of fire.. well, that too.

Do you understand a bit more, now?

What would attract me to Valikorlia?
Less staff harassing new comers just because they are 'newbies' on the server.

Yeah, okay, we get it. You make it seem like the entirety of the staff team is a morass of bullies, which is categorically false. Though, it doesn't really make those of us that are nice to newcomers want to be when you guys badmouth the entire staff team.

Either way, I can't change the way players act on Valikorlia any more than anybody can change the way the players act on UN.

If it was just a couple people, it wouldn't be so bad. I tired several times to get back into Valikorlia. Sulukra(sorry I butchered your name) was the most helpful person I met on the New Val, but with the lack of interaction from other players and staff it became pointless to continue. I am sorry you feel that people are just badmouthing the Val team, but these are people who tried to play and were turned down.

I understand that Valikorlia is not the most hospitable server. But, it's not the cesspool a few you guys are making it out to be. I log on UN and can't walk any more than a few tiles without getting killed 10 times. But, I don't call UN staff a bunch of bigots because they won't help me stay alive, and I don't call the playerbase bullies or snobs. The same goes with Zodiac.

Valikorlia a close-knit roleplaying community. Most people don't roleplay with people they don't know, mostly because those newcomers don't know how to roleplay in the first place. The fact that there's a history of people logging on to Valikorlia to be asses to us doesn't make the playerbase very willing to help out new people. That aside, if there is a genuine want to roleplay or to learn how to roleplay, then you generally won't be run out.

If you mass that the server is boring and stupid because there's no leveling or PVP, then you don't understand what a roleplaying server is, and most players will actually explain to you what it is. When you call us geeks and nerds that live in fantasyland, then I think we're well within our right to run you out of the server.

The latest event of Valikorlia's staff being bullies to new players is with Rufus and his gang. They were exploring, and I was helping them explore. I even asked them to set their status to "OOC", so that there weren't any problems. Levowitz, an overzealous GP, jailed them anyways. Yet, I doubt Rufus mentions that the co-manager, Bell, and I, as well as the rest of the staff team, chastised Levowitz for doing that. We aren't newbie-haters. We want new people. But, those people need to have a interest in roleplaying. Most of Graal thinks roleplaying is the stuff you do when you play Oblivion or WoW, not collectively writing a story (which is what Valikorlia is: a collective story).
