As a semi-offtopic, I just wanted to say that yesterday it started raining (ig) , a rain that became a storm with lighting, thunder, fog and everything that a storm needs. I just sat there in the middle of it and just admired the excellent effects.. Then I realise.. these people work their asses off for us players, for us ungrateful beings to have a little fun and brag to our friends what a great game we are playing and what a great community we are a part of, and we keep only bitching and throwing garbage at them.. So I must ask you a simple question: Are we that friggin' stupid?

I think the greatness of the game has passed when you can be dying in the shop and people can ignore it. When you can throw a ninja star (or whatever they're called) at someone and they'll just let it pass by; when in a "purely roleplay" game, skillgaining and powergaming have taken over. When n00bs reign and you can no longer find someone to rp with in the middle of Troll's Bane with 50 people online. When the most you can get from a player is "Hello. My name is bladebla. I want to sell a full leather armour. I want to sell 6 serinjah sword. Bye." When noobs who don't understand the concept of ooc can cast as much (or more) spells as people who've been trying to learn for many months. Where you meet people called "Dragon Master", "Ube Rnoo Bsla Yer" and "Pokemon Master" every day. Where n00bs are being taught by n00bs. Where the best rp'ers have all left because of various reasons which appeared to be triggered by client change and removal of opening essay. Sure, we've got lots more players; but those players are going to bring this down to the level of runescape; and people will prefer the latter because it has more to do. Where the average roleplayer is seen as a god of roleplay. I love that the staff have done such a great job. I just wish a couple of mistakes hadn't been made which brought this game to a very dark era.
I'll play; but I play in the hope that the good rp returns.
Don't flame me or reply or any of that because I don't want to flame anybody; I just want to state my opinion and leave this topic.

I think basically the point is:
"Sam is banned so what do we rp happened to Stephen?"
Sam answered this but now there's flaming about his ban.

Sam answered to the question how we should roleplay Stephen being gone? Where? *looks through the posts*

Alright hey.
I've played for what? 3 months? Plus a little more a few years earlier? Lets say 6 months. Half a year.
I look at the game.. The effects.. The 30-40 people playing it daily, and I think.. Woah, Kudos staff.. Kudos Nitram, Vilarion, Etc... Etc...
Then I look at the forums.. Makes me think.. Fvck.. Fvck everyone.
Seriously.. Fvck you all.. For ruining the fvck out of such a nice game, even if I'll never play it again, even when I get back to Canada I doubt I'll play it again.. I found another one, way better. No bitching community, no anti-staff idiots thingies..
And yeah, all I find to say is.. well.. simply.. fvck you all. Yeah all of you
Even the ones I like... seriously..
Idiots..
Oh and especially the oldies around.. Fvck you.. What the fvck? You should've worked hard and complained to staff members to get rid of idiots like Grant, like me, like all those other idiots that came, played for a while, and messed up your community. Because I think I remember when I came a long time ago.. something like.. in .. 2002 or something? I was still young, but I remember how serene it was, how everyone liked each others.. There was no fighting, etc..
But seriously.. what the fvck?
I mean.. nevermind -.-

Actually, over the past year when the n00bspree started; the essay change and automatic name approving was actually argued against quite a lot. It was fought against; but it stayed intact and now there's no more good rp. Hooray. (And stop with the bs "There's good rp if you look for it" because I thought that until a few weeks ago, and then I realised you have to look pretty damned hard and it comes about once a month; and it's still no way near as good as it used to be. All the newbies can say how they enjoy the rp, but you've never seen how it used to be; you've got nothing to compare the shoddy rp of today with. The "great" rp where you can bleed to death and noone cares.
And Karl, just type smile if you're going to do it at all. I think we all know what "smile" means anyway.
Adds some pointless rp at the bottom for his promise.

alex,
you got an amazing memory. but i sometimes feel in doubt, if you unerstand, what you remember.
the "famous RP" when all the now gone "famous Roleplayers" still were ingame, consisted mostly of cybersex and typical streetgang-insider conversations. and about 70% or more of this "roleplay" occurred near the TB shop.
not to forget the occasional ((not now, noob, dont you see i am roleplaying!))
is that really, what you are longing for to be restored?
Posted: Sun Dec 31, 2006 4:59 pm
by Kevin Lightdot
Yeah Alex, but we also gained more players, and more possibilities, and more roleplayers.
Maybe it's a bit fvcked up right now, but something is being done about it I'm quite sure.
And Korm, it's not all that, I never had any form of ingame sex those days (Tried once though, at the end, but it went horribly wrong with Gra'Able secretly looking and making lame ooc comments, and to that Japeth popping up.)
Japeth was still a great gm though.

I'm not fucking done. My browser crashed.
I just proposed something to Nitram, I basicly know he won't agree on it so quickly, but at least I'm sure he'll think about it.
Wipe everything.
All playerbases, all forum accounts, all thread.
Start fresh new. year 2007
I can answer your questions before you ask them.
70% of the community will go and never come back
They can ass well FVCK OFF. Idiots. Because THOSE dickheads, like their characters, not illarion. They like the OOC relations that they created thanks to their characters, and run their characters following those relations. Well they can suck my dick, enjoy it, and fvck off. Including the staff that would do the same.
Because SOME will come back. Some. like, 10 or 15 players. And those, if you notice, are the ones that don't answer to flaming threads, such as Meriel, Orrden padick, Galthran, etc.. you know what I mean.. ALl the little german dudes that barely never post replies here.. Those really like illarion. They don't give a shit about their char. They can create a new one, start roleplay again. W00 fun.
And when all is gone. I'm sure the ones who come back will be able to think of a roleplay of how they arrived al ltogether on this island.
And then the once lenient staff can actually start running hteir game, and controlling it.
You break a rule? You're warned.
Again? You're banned for a day.
Again? You're banned for a week?
Again? Get the fvck away and go play runescape.
Players get mad at GMs? They don't like them anymore? Good, I doubt they'd care. They flame about them on the forums? They argue their decisions on the forums? Go play runescape, you can do all you want there. "OHH PITY!! WHY A PERM BAN SO QUICKLY? I WAS JUST ARGUING A DECISION!" There's an email for that, you didn't obey us, GTFO.
Oh and. I love you all.
Happy new year.
(Sorry for d-post, my browser is fucking up)

Korm ol boy ;] I can honestly say when i played, i had never heard off ' insider roleplay ' and i dont make cybersex a hobby. Times have changed indeed, some prefer the new times, others do not. But you were not here when i truely used to play, so you cant say what it was like compared today as you were not about to make the comparison.
Everyones entitled to thier opinion, and in my opinion the game went downhill when they allowed any person to join the game. You may have noticed that the game itself has a few more players incomming than before, but 99% of the new players who do join in these times ( no offence meant to the 1% as i have met you and roleplayed with you when ive had the chance ) d nothing other than wander about, decide that they dont like the game as at most times people wont help them.
And why wont people help them? Because there are so many new players who join the game who dont know what roleplay is, and after so long people do get fed up showing people the difference between runescape and illarion when people dont want to learn, and sadly those who do wish to learn are outnumbered by those who dont. So unless they are lucky the new players wont find any help, whereas before with the application the few people who did get in, were helped immediately and without hesitation as they had put in the effort which showed they were willing to learn.
Bla bla bla
But at the end of my babble, just remember that times are different and unless you were there for all these times, you really can not make a comparison.
The games better, the community/roleplay is not.
Thats my opinion

Okay so we wipe the chars, everyone gets pissed off a lot, has to remake their main char. THE N00BS WIN!
Right think about it:
The good rp'ers don't pg. They don't skillgain! All their skills and items have been gamed over a period of time. e.g. Mages. All their runes aren't hard earnt skills are killed. BAM. And then there's the noobs. The older n00bs who skillgain all the time and'll just do it again, overtaking the newer players and the new n00bs who've just come from Runescape who'll do it even MORE and pwn our boots off.
Sounds good/sarc

So what? It's also about skill ,)
And we have the GMs to watch the status
Anyway, I wouldn't mind a wipe but I doubt that it'll cure the cancer.
