RP
Posted: Sun Nov 07, 2021 4:19 pm
So,
I am just writing this not out of wanting to start a flame war, but just a personal experience.
I understand completely that geas is a pk mud.
I also understand that there will be conflict and death.
I also understand oocly good vs evil and all that.
I accept all that, and that's all fine.
However...
What I don't understand is why there should be pk, without some kind of dialog upfront?
My character in question, is a hark, and therefore acted and thought like a hark.
He's yung, and absolutely clueless about what's going on around him.
In fact, I have left doors opened so that people could take some kind of advantage of him because of his naivety.
What really ruins gameplay, is when people just come up out of the blue and attacks people for absolutely no reason, no dialog, and no explanation and kills you.
It really doesn't leave doors opened for any kind of rp.
Especially when your an ediot hark and is all flustered and confused.
If my death had been from some kind of dialog, and or I was truly evil and had been murdering people, then awsome, bring it.
But, when its just walking up to me, and attacking me until I die, then what the heck man?
I didn't even draw weapons out, I put up no fight. I just stood there while I was killed.
Yeah, I said allot of ooc crap during the attack, because I was at this point really ticked off because I found this to not be rp driven, but what ever.
Just maybe for the future, at least have some kind of rp involved before just murdering someone out of the blue.
Especially if its been known a player is playing someone that doesn't understand the world exactly, and is a little stupid lol.
Just my 2 coppers worth.
Maybe I wasn't playing a hark like I should have? IDK.
Over the past month and a half or so, I've really enjoyed the rp.
I've really grown into my character, and was hoping to bring more of his personality out.
I never intended for this hark to be book smart, or world smart.
He was a fighter, and he was really trying to learn the world in his own way.
I guess I said all this to say...
Maybe have some kind of dialog before attacking?
Allow both sides of the story to talk and explain and or do what ever it is they wish to do.
Just noncense slaughter is no fun for anyone.
I think if I were a crusader, and I was attacked by a hidden death priest, then I could wrap my head around this.
Everyone knows that crusaders and darkelves are open door attack policy.
Same with taniels.
Its a reason I didn't want to be a crusader.
Ok, getting off my soapbox. *smile*
