Elvanae (atys)Maximus (atys)Hey Elvanae, it's all a plot of the evil RPers.
They seek Atys domination...
I'm glad this post has caught the attention of more of the people who RP.
Thanks for the productive input.
Well, start by not putting people into groups/boxes/whatever.
Also, the event team is basically allowing everyone into everything so all the players can participate, even if those have nothing to do with what is happening. If something official does not allow all the players to have access to it, it just gets violently shut down and is completely condemned.
And you cannot blame players to enforce rules of their own.
Anyway, the game was articulated around groups/factions/countries, each one having his own identity. Why even bother to choose a group if it is not to care about its identity ? Let's just scrap that part out of the game since it's becoming kinda useless (or all for show ?)
Well your initial post was pretty much sarcasm from what I understood of it. In addition, yes I am glad this thread is capturing the attention of a lot more people whether they PR or not or whether they RP only between the hours of 17 and 21.
Am I to understand correctly from your second post that you do indeed feel that the event team gets pressurised to include all players in official events to the extent where the players "violently shut down and completely condemn it" ?
I would probably disagree. I think the player base in Ryzom has shrunk but maybe thats because a lot of my previous guild members and friends no longer play. I think personally, you have to consider that we are so few that even one person who calls out will be heard clearly and yes it is a delicate position for the event team. I think its also important to realise that, for example, with regards to the Tryker Fair, I personally was not in attendance when the meeting decided not to allow Marauders to attend. It is not excluding me, but it is excluding Virg and I feel strongly that I should speak out against excluding people who feel that it is their right to attend such an event. He didn't suddenly just have it in his mind to cause such a fuss, his opinion that he has the right to attend the Fair comes from the event team opening the Fair up to everyone in Ari. In Ari it was not an RP event. So no, I am not blaming players, I was actually being bold enough to blame the event team etc for not considering that issues like this could arise post-merge and doing pretty much nothing about it.
Just to say, in terms of not blaming players, I am just not going to excuse certain behaviour such as the example I have given. I would also say that:
Tamarea
2. You may not hinder another player during his play.
Yes you can be held responsible for your gameplay.
Well, regarding your last point, I mean, would you even think to go so far as to say that as part of the Kami or Karavan you should not be able to enter particular cities? Indeed, the RP hatred between Matis and Fyros is undeniably strong, why should I as a Mati be allowed to freely roam the Desert lands and enter their cities? Well, I believe that it is the FTA which allows this free movement and the issue we have now is that the Marauders are not directly cited as a nation because some don't consider them to be a nation but instead an organisation of members from different nations. So why can't RPers and all game players take it upon themselves to rectify this directly on the FTA for example.
