Gibini (atys)

Bittty --

That may have been the way the minority played on Arispotle and perhaps that is why it was the least populated when the minority turned a game into a dig chat channel.

You may have played it YOUR way, but others have the right to play it THEIR way without being abused and called a "ganker", as it is part of the game. Which is exactly what had ruined the Temple Event, when diggers just wanted to dig in a Faction Vs Faction PvP dig event, instead of just role playing with their faction killing their friends on the opposing side to support their faction as the event was created. It is a game, treat it as such and have fun, if you can't kill your mates every now and again for an event then don't bother participating.

This same rule also applies in the normal PvP zones imo. Take away the competiveness and you have a pretty boring game full of those who want to stand around at stables or dig and chat for 8 hours of the day as all did on Arispotle. Stick with your beliefs, others have beliefs too

Gibini -- that was the way the *majority* (not the minority) played on Arispotle. The number of gankers in the game for the last four years (on Arispotle) could be counted on the fingers, perhaps needing both hands, but not needing the toes. ((The number of people who enjoyed PvP was much higher -- that's a different count.))

PvP for Aris (and apparently Leanon) was NOT an important part of the game outside of OP wars. Roleplay was cooperative, not full of ganking. (As far as I'm concerned it is ganking to kill an unarmed digger. It is allowed by the game mechanic, but it is still ganking.) Atys, for us, was not a *competition*, it was a living world where we could explore, kill bosses, dig and craft and watch. That was our role-play, not re-enacting the religious intolerance of the so-called real world by killing off our fellow homins when they were helpless.
