I always felt that it was unlikely that all charr would have been able to forget what happened over 250 years ago. I never encountered any RP like this in my time on GW2. Hearing stories like this makes me glad something other than the usual circle jerk sessions I always witnessed happened.
It has me curious though, were you ever avenged? On that note, does a character death mean blood for blood? I suppose it really depends on the situation.
I don't feel so alien to a lot of posters now, about not wanting to lose a character. I don't think I would consider my characters invincible, but I'd like to enjoy them at my own set of rules. Maybe it's selfish but I'll be mindful of their situations and continue to be clear about my intents with RP.
@Kismet
That's an interesting perspective for an MMO character to me. I felt if I took that stance with my own characters I'd be detached from them. Maybe it's an issue with bleed or projection or something? I try to keep certain aspect of myself from shining through. As often, I am almost nothing like my characters.
@Natalie McBeef:
Ah-hah! I wondered what had happened to that character. The OOC portion does have me worried. I'm not exactly well known in these parts but the people I have interacted with are lovely people. I'm fearful that I'd lost trust if I suddenly just murdered one of my characters out of no where.
@Warren:
I think I'm in the same boat as you about story telling. I'm not one for death just to get a rise out of people. I think it's... tacky. For lack of a better description. But if it comes with purpose and proper consequence then I apply where necessary.
To be clear, I still plan to convert my main to an Au Ra. Unless something grand comes of my current one. I'm open minded, but it mostly stems from lack of wanting to do work over again. Currently I'm leveling other Jobs in preparation of Heavensward. I change my mind often when it comes to things I play, because I like options. I want to be able to fit roles I'm comfortable with if need be.
I'm aware it's a little 'dangerous' to want to throw all my chips in for a race we know nothing about for the time being, but... I'm somewhat confident. Worse comes to worse, I'll be able to do the RP thing and figure it out. Right?
