Thread: Just a game

    Unhappy Just a game

    Ok so first off let me get this straight. I'm bored, and this is one of the things I'll do when I get bored or find out I'm failing decision making, in which both apply.

    So anyway why is it that there are so many people who are just too serious about this game? There's just so many people here who are so caught up in this game that every time they see a person of the other side (clan/omni/neutral) they'll start yelling at them. See nobody really cared what side people were on before notum wars, but then people started taking it as if it was a real war. Clans, omnis and neutrals can get along. Even as a clan I have a few omni friends. Fixichong would be one of them. Of course I don't actually help them (like helping them twink or stuff like that) but at least I know that unless I'm in a tower war or something related I'm not going to get ganked by him. It was yesterday that I was going to gank an omni in OA but turns out he wasn't flagged and when I said "g0 get flag!" he asked if I wanted a duel and brought me to tir arena. After the thing with the towers and cities it's gotten pretty bad. People can get along on this game, it's just that there's a lot of people don't understand it. So now I sit here wondering why you are still reading this.

    because i'm continually amazed at the maturity of the players in this game...

    and of the maturity of this world's scoieties...

    fully mature grown ups acting like children
    children acting like little hellions...

    i long for the empires to crumble into dust and the wailing masses to be cleansed.

    ((This is a good post and there's a lot of truth in it. I mean you have to deal with the whole you can't raid/team with us because you're this.

    But Trousers is right it's really not a problem in the RP community, all of us know this is just a game, and we may IC slam each other because of side. As players we really don't care, and like each other for the most part.
    Funny when you thing about the RP people are the one that don't take sides so seriously, it's the ones that make fun of the people that RP that get all bent out of shape over sides. Well at least on RK2, I can't speak for those on RK1.

    It was a good post but should be in a different section.))

    Kinda stupid to make fun of people who RP in a MMORPG........

    ((I don't know what it's like on Atlantean. Here the role players are aware of the division between IC and OOC. I mean, we are all just people who play a game. The roles we take are just that: roles. The fact someone chose one side or the other doesn't make them better or worse. It's just a selection of playstyle. Role players don't take the in-character divisions into the OOC relations with other players.))

    Society is bred on conflict, my friend.
    The greatest advances in science were for two things; competition and greed. Without such primal drives to humanity there would be an uninterrupted pathos to the world. We suffer from a finely balanced superiority/inferiority complex, which makes every single human being see the world as loosely grouped into two types of people: Us, and Them.
    This can be traced back to racism, to sexism, and to any other ridiculous form of elitism that can be conceived of. If the entire world did work together, with equal people sharing the load and all helping each other, the world may be a more peaceful, and more productive place. But to follow such a path of thought any further would only lead to what has been labelled "communism".

    Suffice to say; we are bred for conflict. We are spoon fed it from the minute we are born, and so it becomes a way of life, no matter which reality you are in.
    It is sad, and it is horrible, but it is the way that humanity was formed, and it is now the way Homo Solitus has survived.

    As Tarryk once said: "We fight, because WE ARE RIGHT!"

    (Greetings from RK1)

    (( Atlantean has people like the NLF, they roleplay breedist terrorists who hate all non Nanomages and see them as inferior and wish to exterminate them.. (in brief) but OOC. They are some of the nicest people you'll ever want to meet. It's the same on the usual OT Clan divide. They hate each others guts, but they will usually help each other out on an OOC level and converse on an OOC level. We all know it's a game, but we RP to make it a much more interesting one ))

    OMG!!

    Redeemed/Unredeemed, Good vs Evil, Clan vs Omni its a storyline that if you don't understand you should stand next to the opposite faction guards and see if they hug you.

    This is exactly why Americans hate the French because of this wuzzy, anti-conflict, weakminded, why can't we all just get along mentality! It's what separates those that survive from those that allow you to survive, those who allow your very existence on this planet to continue out of the kindness of their hearts. And look at all the Euro-peons jumping on board too. Go take that big white French battle flag to Iraq and surrender while a patriot smacks you in the forehead, please somebody delete this whole thread! NOOBS! Maybe, just maybe, some people don't want to get along with you! Consider that a moment, the rest of us can wait a second for it to penetrate your scalp, we don't like you! Maybe just maybe some don't like being pushed around by omni-tek, or maybe some think that everyone should just go along with omni-tek this is war, join it or quit!

    This forum is NOT in-character btw and we're all in violation, delete this whole thread, NOOBS!

    well mech, my good friend, in WoW they have a server entirely dedicated to RP. you have to actually act like your character, cant talk about RL or anything.

    I agree, alot of people take this game too seriously.

    People take this game serious because they care.. You care, that is why your post is here. Try no to take it so seriously.

    Weather it be PVP or PVM people are going to take the game serious. There is not a game you would not take serious. Games are for winning and fun is secondary. No one plays this game for 2 hours a day to have some newb do the unthinkable and destroy your team - You can happly walk away from that? no.. you can't.

    People spend countless hours days, days months, years playing this game and you expect people not to take this serious?

    Sorry but this "take the game to serious" is another usless thread. This post should not exist if you didnt take it serious. You would not have cared and kept this post to yourself.

    Productivity vs. Sided Loyalty

    ((Ever try making a RK2 team to do something specific quickly (in TL's 2-4) without using opposing players? There aren't enough people on LFT to eliminate 2/3 of your potential teammates. Let's say I'm building a 60-70+ team to grind Tiigs in SL. If I limit myself to omnis, I find a 2-3 or at best 4 person team, often missing a key role, and leaving players complaining about the quality of our team. Some in-demand prof's will even ditch your team in this case (I'm looking at you, Doctors) for one that can be diplomatic. If I include everyone, I can usually build a six person team to accomplish any (remotely popular) task in a short time. In my eyes, it's not a whole lot unlike a superhero crossover comic, where rivals team up for a shared goal. It's really that, or confine your play to crowded playtimes, where it's harder to claim mobs. Sure you teamed with a rival, but you were advancing alongside him/her at the same pace. The real harm would be wasting time checking side when you could be advancing a great character to fight rivals with. That said, it is unlikely that I'd wander around helping clammers get TOTW loot or escort them anywhere.))
