Rax · #1 02-01-2003, 06:40 AM

It's really *** no body wants to RP and there havnt been an RP event in a long time.Some of these leader don't care about their kingdom.Have some wars already and show some of your rp skills this server is supposed to be mostly RPing!People don't want to RP and have wars because they dont gain anything!add some rewards to it like If your kingdom wins a war you get all the money form other kingdoms chest and control some of the other kingdoms land and can tax the houses on those lands and the money got from the chest can be used to buy ships,cannons,and build strogner forts

Thats not why at all. Leaders are being too friendly. Forest sucks now, Dustari is slow, Zormite slow, Samurai are powerhouses and are just waiting to kill someone, and pirates are slowly dying.

Not to mention that really high leveled people can get into any kingdom they like just because they have a high level. Fortunatly when 2K2 is reset maybe things will balance out more.

When in Dustari I encouraged people to RP, but no one wants to, and I couldn't do anything to make them.

The admins should step in and make an RPing standard for the reset server.

Personally, I think half the reason for the shoddy RPing, is that there is always the thought that if any given kingdom stops building up for even a second, they'll be more vulnerable to attack.

In my house on Dustari, I have next to nothing, except stockpiles for war materials. I sleep on the floor, and the next day it's back to build up build up build up.

Then, you have high level people who have never valued RPing, and they view themselves as the 'backbone' of the kingdom, and that they should not be told what to do.

I think Arwen (milkyway) had trouble enforcing the rules because there were no set standards - not a single thing posted to the Dustari forums on our RP standards, with info on penalties for failure of compliance. I don't blame her, from what I've heard the standards never came about to even post.

At times, people got very rude I recall, and they should have been demoted for it or at least made to appologize for their deplorable behavior.

There is no excuse for acting ooc in normal conversation on tag, it's just lazy not to, and doesn't hurt your ability to build up.
Usually, people who won't RP in this fashion are obsessed with power-building, and other's let it slide because without power-builders, kingdoms are vulnerable.

I think the simple solution is for Kings to state thier RP standards, punishments for not complying, and then enforce it, period, without exceptions for high level people.

I still liked 2k1 kingdoms. The game didn't revolve around it, so you didn't need to join one, so less newbies joined.

SIGH.

MilkyWay0016 · #13 02-02-2003, 06:25 PM

2k2 should either have set enforced rping standards or not be based on kingdoms.

I don't think the environment for role-playing (ironically) is on 2k2

1) People are too strong and are too focused on killing. Those who are weaker and want to role-play cannot, because they'll just get slaughtered

2) It's still a bit too awkward to move around the entire server through boats and walking etc, althought that is improving

Hell, I sure want to role-play on 2k2, but I'm only about 10 levels weaker than the average guy, who can rip me in half by one hit. How am I supposed to do anything RP related?

get my point?

Heh, I understand what you mean, Aftershock.

Anyway, I was smashed by the thought of 2k2 at first. I was hoping there were spells to fit my character (Axel Warhare the Necromancer :o ) And when I found out they were having a Priest class, I was super happy. Then I found out you have to worship a God pretty much, and the super happy Brigid has the only spells close to Necromancy.

So I pretty much have to create a new character, which I don't want to do.
