Please have the RP Story again or name check

Listen, there was this one elf who was killed by an orc. He was really nice. I picked his stuff up and he did not want it (I made a lot selling it) but he was so nicew . He was sad that no one was helping him and he wanted to quit the game. I typed OCC many times to make some one help him. I really had to GTG. I dont think anyone helped him. And if he quit the game I feel sorry. Look, I dont care if he quits the game we can get another one but I think that person who played the elf might have felt extremely sad. We want this game to be fun I play it for fun. I dont want this game to make people sad. Look, this elf player may not have been accepted if we have the RP story. So he may have just left. But he got insulted plenty. So not only did he try a game but got insulted! Also, the names many dont get the name! Many take it serious if they get banned!!! And please GMS dont you feel sad banning like a ton of people?Have the RP story or atleast the name check? I am sorry I know this has been posted many times but I thought I should let this example be shown.

(( sorry for some of the typos))

Our player amount increased. And the number of really good players increased too.

So the question and the name check stays there. And you don't have to read that topic about the bad names.

Okay. I guess we do have more players. I am so happy to see Illarion with 26 or 30 people!

I think it still would have increased, with or without the account system, right now we have a mix of players which would have been otherwise filtered...

That wrong in my opinion Hadrian.

Many good players don't get over the account system. In the weeks before we disabled the account system we had a player increase of 0.

The few who come thought the account system, where complete fools who we had to ban again.

We had the worse players before the disableing. We have them after.

But we got many new good players, so the system stays inactive.

I think some filter needs to be made and fast. I have imcountered over 6 newbs in the last week that have attacked me and not used any #me. Troll's Bane is almost annoying to be in now.

Gort im willing to bet that was that one asshole that came on the forms and bitched about how he could'nt have his stupid noob name.

I think that it should be made that new players cannot attack other players until like 4 hours of gametime, and other players cant attack the noob for 4 hours as well. So we can at least counter the stupid noobs comming in town and wanting to kill everything they see.

That would screw up roleplay somewhat. If someone asked them to duel they would have to say I just arrived and for some reason I can't move my arms for 4 hours..

lol I am paralyzed for four hours from my shoulders to my waist because of a surgery i just had before i arrived on gobiath lol

Well n00bs dont RP in their 4 first hours anyway, so it woulnt matter.

For new character of current players, they would just know not to attack at first.

The GM's did a lot of talking about a newbie island. Perhaps if they make one....

Garett Gwenour · Post by **Garett Gwenour** » Sun Sep 24, 2006 5:39 am

Martin is making one, but i think there is one or two projects he wants done before the noob island.

On long days where I've got nothing better to do I'd help train some noobs. I end up doing it anyway...

The most chars aren’t banned without talking to the player before.

There ARE namefilters but we can’t catch every word in there.
Even for the ingame behaviour we do have some natural filters ---> the GM

I find the current system okay, and I don't mind beating the occasional newb.

Infact, it boosts RP! Point and case, Grunith was trying to convince Ku that the humans try to control, kill, and conquer the orcs. He disagreed, then a newb came along and randomly attacked Hu. This, of course, changed his mind.

Well, if we dont create a tutorial island old bees are going to decrease!
Take Misjab as ex. He does not like the game any more.
*looks for whos fault it is

Actually keep it....
I mean for every player that leaves five join in. I am really confused.

Question is: How many good players join...?

AlexRose · Post by **AlexRose** » Sun Sep 24, 2006 3:20 pm

Give the guy some credit.
Who'd name their character MISJAB???
Try reading his forum name again.

YOU GOT IT WRONG AGAIN!

Damien · Post by **Damien** » Sun Sep 24, 2006 8:41 pm

We don't need a huge complicated account system where you really had to write a long story. A simple multiple choice thing plus the question "How do you define Roleplaying ?" may be sufficient to ensure that the people want to roleplay or at least have an idea about what roleplaying actually is. Which sadly, many newbies do not have.

Skaalib Drurr · Post by **Skaalib Drurr** » Sun Sep 24, 2006 8:46 pm

I really thought writing a story was a good idea. It made sure that the people joining wanted to and were able to roleplay, and I found it quite fun to do.

I got past the account thingy on my second try...

I don't lyke the idea personally.

If you create a n00b island, then it will be assumed that you can refer to it as so; plus tell people that you're a newbie, and your from the newbie island...

Will damage RP...

Presumably it will teach them not to say things like that though
