Hello.. give me a break
I am new here, but come on, who say's hello to everyone they pass. In ((RL)) I am the last person you would talk to, so why do I have to talk with every passerby. If I run past you with a *nods* accept it, it is more than you would receive from me in ((RL)).

Yeah, have a go at saving a premade emote.
I think you type it in
i.e.
#me ignores them.
Then instead of pressing enter hit ctrl + shift + (and any of these) f2-f6
Then, if someone heckles you just hit shift + (the fnumber you chose)
Hope that helps, I do it fairly often...usually to describe my appearance. If you say right from the top you're wearing blood spattered robes, with your hood pulled up, pulling a cart of dismembered victims behind you, smelling of urine, licking a dog turd and scratching your balls...they might think twice before talking to you!

HELLO! Would you like to donate a few coppers for the orphans?Arvemor wrote:If you say right from the top you're wearing blood spattered robes, with your hood pulled up, pulling a cart of dismembered victims behind you, smelling of urine, licking a dog turd and scratching your balls...they might think twice before talking to you!

Actually F2 is detected as "description" by the client. But it has no real use currently. So you don't need to differ all those texts.
/edit: I mean the "normal" F2, not the shift+F2

People where I live wave at eachother when we pass... they do it when driving too, if they are moving slow enough. The people of Illa (or Golbiath) are more friendly than people in RL. This can be chalked up to a lack of social networking and entertainment. A Illa-person's entertainment is being social, therefore they are more socialible. This is also historically true of the time period that Illa is modeled after; they were much more "polite" than we are to strangers in the road and such.
Remember that there is a culture IG that is unique to Golbiath. This game has been around long enough to have evolved its own feel. I hope you enjoy! I sure did when I joined.

Re: Hello.. give me a break
Arguably though, not every character is from Gobaith originally. A character from say, the densely populated areas of Gynk, where a lot of people tend to be trouble, or, say, people from distant bustling cities, aren't probably as keen on socializing with strangers.Eadgar wrote:People where I live wave at eachother when we pass... they do it when driving too, if they are moving slow enough.

Re: Hello.. give me a break
Yeah... I don't have any characters that are from Gobaith (I need to learn how to spell that right... *sigh*). All of mine are from Albar (for some strange reason). Though one is from Kang-Arr and so almost doesn't count.Moirear Sian wrote:Arguably though, not every character is from Gobaith originally.

Generally speaking, for the times ingame where something requires my attention or I'm busy dealing with a certain issue and somebody greets me, I greet them back with a simple: "Hello" or "Greetings" -- but only because that's just how my character is, friendly. In most cases, if I'm in a hurry to get somewhere, I greet them but continue to pass through and not stop and wait for a response. It is very rare, unless you're Dain trying to sell smithed goods, that the person who greeted you will follow or stalk you all around the island until you respond. My anti-social halfling character who disliked to converse with people will usually just continue to pass by without even using '#me' statements. Nobody is going to force your character to greet them. It's one of those things where sure, if you're attempting to roleplay you will probably try to strike up a conversation with somebody, but at the same time, at least in my opinion, if you're not willing to want to talk to somebody, you don't have to. Just proceed on your way and continue to stroll around in your own little world without saying anything and let the other person take that for whatever it's worth. It's more based on your character's mood and style and not just what other people do in real life, even though I do agree with the fact that everybody doesn't necessarily greet everybody.
