You know at one time I would have agreed that FC is not doing a good job with story events, but after recent events Im not so sure.
Last Friday night I was playing my low level MA. While organizing a team in Old Athen I spot a GM. You know the ones with the green letters for their name. He was a fixer trying to get people to go to Hope for some lets say not quite legal items. His words. Now me and a couple other members of my team RP with him for half an hour or so. He really wanted us to go but we were just to low level to last long in Mort. Now this RP session was done in vicinity chat and in the crowded area around athen whompas not in some back corner where no ones goes. Not 1 high level person stepped up to take this guy up on his offer. I heard 3 or 4 "Hey can I get a run buff" but that was all. Now we find on the news section of the page that Hope was a story line event.
Now that whole ramble was ment to show its not all FC's fault. Im not a fanboy no mater what you think. Ill be right there saying somthing to FC when I think somthing is wrong. Everyone hear gets disgusted because FC dosent listen or FC isnt helping. Ever put the shoe on the other foot. How do you think GM's feel when an event is put together and no one steps up to the plate.
Personaly I think this is nothing more than a way for Kirrana to get her name on the boards and to make herself look important. The RP tools are in the game you can choose to use them or not. The people who want to RP are in the game you can choose to use them or not. What it boils down to is the fact that not everyone knows how to RP or are not good at it and those that want to RP but aren't good at are the people you need to work with.
This council is a bad idea no matter how you look at it. These forums and the email addresses we have for funcom are our communication channels. We as players need to start using the tools we have and quit whining that FC is doing nothing
