jazzy, you're right. what you describe here is rp rivalry:
i would support these events 100%, as will i support the current roleplay of GoS.
but with regards to what astarth was saying about "hateful rp" - there are players in game that take it much further than roleplay (seemingly), i have been on the receiving end of numerous hateful tells exclaiming that i am "wrong", i'm an "idiot", "what are you doing with him/her?", "LOL ur a NOOB" - my personal favourite.
now, i can brush off stupid tells and messages like this but it does grind one down after a while. it makes the game experience miserable.
it's this kind of roleplay that is causing so much animosity. i'm not throwing blame on the rp'ers, not at all, some of the non-rp'ers are just as bad. i'm merely clarifying what people are meaning to say or what i think they are meaning to say.
i applaude you, jazzy, for being a bridge between the non-rp and the rp groups of people. you are valiantly trying to fix the rift, so to speak.
this is very true and to force one person to play the way of another is wrong. but, like you said, a common ground must be found, it is afterall a sandbox game and people are free to play the game as they desire, be that following a lore or ignoring it completely.
I would really like to organize an attack on the camps marauder (fair fight)
I would really like kara are numerous enough to see the "war of temples"
i would support these events 100%, as will i support the current roleplay of GoS.

I'm sure you all love Ryzom much as we love it. We can not force you to play RP, I agree, but you can not force us to play as non-RP.
