That's the whole point: as long as it is really roleplaying what we're doing then I'm fine and it's all fun.
So to answer to Gilgameesh's very interesting point of view: it surely breaches the Code of Conduct (CoC) to call other players "bastards". But if it happens during an IC-argument I would never hold this against others, since it's only our characters who are fighting, and I as a player do not feel insulted at all. I am also not one to suspect others baselessly or just because of prejudice, I rather try to give leap of faith whenever possible and I try to just overlook "mistakes" - as long as I can still believe that these are just mistakes.
The big problem is that some - not many! - players are breaking character to dominate others.
So I will not believe those lies spouted: "it's just RP" any longer.
They have been made aware of it by other players, but these few people keep on doing so.
How can this still be "not intentional"?
They say they "feel" that peaceful roleplaying is not really good roleplay (it is not OOC though!).
They say they "feel" that their way of playing their characters is not well-received (it was never condemned though by other players!)
But how does that give some of these players any right or justification to force other players to play in a different style that the other players find un-fun and such will rather leave roleplaying or even the game itself?
I think the CSRs must not longer look away silently.
They have promised us:
What I am most afraid right now is that also the officials and rulers of the Nations on Atys are going to break character more and more - by staying passive, by repeatedly disregarding the principles of their own race/Nation (like truth, discipline and justice), and by letting themselves and their Nations be dominated/ruled over by only a few imperious "subordinates". Things like that kill all the roleplaying-fun more than anything else ever could. But that's exactly where things are heading right now :(

We will show you that continuing roleplay is possible and that the merging of the servers will open the door to new ways of interacting.
Together, we will see a successful end to this adventure!
