Not to make this a jump on Windguaerd thread or anything, but I'm curious what good old days are you referring too? Last year? I've been around a few years and the most LTC movement I've seen as really only been recent with in the past 2 years when Ninanna took over the LTC program and worked hard to get them out there, make them visible, and interact with the players. Yeah maybe back in the day the servers would crash becasue you would only see one every six months and people would freak cause they existed. And even then they were always about the Legion.
Let me add I remember the Legion storyline which over all was a pretty neat story with some cool events tied too it (if you liked dying in 30secs cause the STs were so over powered), but for the most part that whole storyline was carried on the shoulders of players. At least that's how it was on RK2, if it wasn't for players like Nulion and Tipha nobody would have cared about the Legion at all.
Now there are a number of different characters with their own story lines and events going on at once. And many of them are very good and complex. If anything the current events team has been working harder now then in the "ye old glory days". I've been told there's at least one event a week. Just because the hardcore rp crowd doesn't see them doesn't mean they don't happen. Lets keep in mind events isn't here to entertain the hand full of rpers on both dims, they are here to entertain the player base as a whole.
There will always be problems in RP it will never be a perfect system, there will always be flaws and lets be honest it's impossible to make everyone happy. Someone will always be around to blab about how back in the day things were much better.
On a side note if there is any animosity between RK2 players toward RK1, it becasue for years we had to have it shoved down out throats how RK1 was the rp dim, and rk2 was the pvp or drama did. Or having to sit and watch while events that happened on rk1 would effect rk2. I can way one thing about this new events team they seem to care about both dims and see the differences and plan things so the play out a little differently on each.
Anyway my hat goes off to the events team, keep up the good work and I'll see you Saturday. Now I just need to decide what toon to bring.
*We now return to our scheduled fight between Windguaerd and Trousers*
(I'm picking Pants in the 12th round... and yes it's cause I'm from rk2)
