OOC


NPC Hunt Discussion

The attacks by Zagh are as untrue as unprofessional. First, it is not true that the event calendar serves for RP events and development only (development is not part of the calendar, except Forge meetings). Rather, OOC events are part as well, so are major player events, be they RP or not.

In fact, the reason for these events, and their popularity, is anything but greed. I, for example, am participating with 2 full subbed accounts while by convention being counted as 1, therefore getting an average of 1/40 to 1/60 of the distributable loot. Were I greedy, I could easily gather some 14-16 high level fellow player characters for a private hunt, getting 1/8 of the loot.

Main reason for participation is the fun of cooperating with a large number of players of any language background, level, and alignment under the command of competent leaders which is in no ways easier than doing the same with 2 teams of masters. And for a neutral or Ranger, there is plenty of RP reason to interact with fellow homins that way. Also, for non extremist nation or cult aligned, this activity is clearly RP justifiable, and even for marauders with their precept of the freedom of the strongest to act on her will, there is not necessarily a RP contradiction.

The reason not to put the activity into the calendar is not founded in a narrow RP dogma of a faction of players. Rather there are pragmatic reasons: The activity is recurring often and also frequently subject of deferral and shifting, and, as I mentioned already, additional rounds might be inserted as well anytime (e.g. in a different time zone). Such would unduly flood the calendar and changes would cause extra work for the event team.

Btw, there is a WebIG application ( /appzone 1976 ) with a calendar. Only fools would use spyware like gmail and other google crap.
