(global answer to the ones who are against extremist roleplayers)
So when you were kids you never played "cowboys and indians" games with your friends because this would mean pretending to be ennemies and fight each other ?
Roleplay is like theatre, playing a role... would you go to theatre to watch a play where everybody is friend and everything is fine ? Or would you think it's boring like hell ? In most good plays or good moovies, there is drama and people fighting each other. Why ? Because it's more entertaining !
That's why roleplayers on Aniro liked conflicts between characters and nations... and it doesn't mean conflict between players !!!! It's two different things. You can actually insult your enemy in roleplay and be friend with the guy playing your enemy, and having fun in tell OOC. Have you ever tried to tell an extremist roleplayer and try to play with him before just running from him ?
My character Kalean is a tryker pirate who hates matis, dislikes karavan, and likes stealing dappers to his enemies. Does it make me a bad person in real life ? I'm not killing people and stealing money in real life !
Ryzom is just a game for fun ! Playing a role is part of the fun. Playing a hero or a bad guy is part of the fun.
Just relax and remember that it's NOT for real ! If I'm saying that matis are "chalky faces" this is just a role, I'm not trying to hurt people playing matis.
Your avatar is not yourself. Being bad with your avatar doesn't mean being bad with you. I know sometimes it's hard to see the difference. But if you just take some distance from your avatar and understand that actions againts your avatar are not necessarily actions against YOU, then you can have a better experience in game, less frustration and more fun.
When someone engage a roleplay with you, even as an enemy, this means he wants to play with you. If you just ignore him because is character is rude, you are the one being rude OOC. You reject someone who tries to play with you. Give him a chance ! And if you realy don't like roleplay, then tell him and say it. Unless he's a jerk he won't bother you anymore.
