ok so i've been reading this thread since it started.
i'm not one to RP at all UNLESS someone want's to try to use RP to force me to change, play a different way, or conform to their more "selfish" ways. in cases like those, i roleplay to shame them, i'm a peaceful kami homin for the most part, trying to convert those that are on the "wrong" path (in rp terms, personally, there's no wrong way to play unless it's negative in any way to the community).
so when someone dies, be them karavan, marauder, kami, neutral, trytonist, ranger, or "other" i'm going to try to rez them, like someone else said, it's not about RP at this point, it's about keeping ryzom from falling into the other MMO's where common kindness is rare or nonexistent. even if that play is a hard RP'er i'll offer a hand, it's nothing to do with RP for me, i don't play ryzom to RP, i play a game to have fun, that's what ryzom is for me. sure i've wrote a huge amount of "rp stories", all of which are wrote in the 3rd person, nothing to do with my toon at all.
if your RP is so strict that you can't rez someone that's dead as an act of kindness, then i just don't know. it's beyond me why everyone has to be anal about things, the bottom line at the end of the day is ryzom's a game, and it should be fun, but if the only way you can find ryzom fun is to be extreme about everything and shun those that don't do like you do, it's my personal opinion that your hurting one of the very best things about ryzom, the friendly and helpful community.
to me RP has a time and a place, the rest of the time it's a game to enjoy. outside of those RP events (offical or player made) is there really a need to "be" your toon?
i've been lucky for the most part, most of the RP players i've had interactions with are down to earth humans that are mature enough to see that RP has a time and place and doesn't have to be a full-time way of play. but i've had my times with the extremist's as well, i'll not go into it because for me it's history.
RP or don't RP, that's a choice up to each of us, but don't forget that we all play things our own way and we all need a little flex if we're going to all get along.
ok i've put my 12 dappers in.....
