Forgive me but this thread is ridiculous. And this is coming from a long time rper from the grande ole days of EQ
One who has been guilty of being a lore Nazi, against godmodding, against race modifying when its against lore (who cares about names, not me really) and crossing IC and OOC (I am not my character you dolt! lol). I'm sorry but complaining about a person who is basically narrating (which I find again a great way to add humor oocly and a way to have a person who may not understand a character's mindset do so, yeah take that IC/OOC line crossers!) is absolutely ridiculous, and to take it even to the level of rolling around in one's own excrement? Are you serious? Or experience? Well if that's the case I played an Erudite Paladin in EQ and rped before people even knew what the hell rp was *puts on Oz voice* "So Lord OZ says do as he says! -sarcasm-. (I'm serious too, I played the part of Valiant Erudite Paladin who saved damsels in distress around Qeynos. meaning I basically fought off trains that other players dragged in with them before they got to the guards. I couldn't play the game without literally roleplaying with myself as the valiant hero. True story).
I mean come on people, reaaaally? Reaaaaaaally? Do we think that we are going to attract a larger audience by being annoyed by something like this? I mean I get wanting to be better but come on now....
And I really hope those who are putting up so much fuss about narrating are are the bee's knees when it comes to being a rper. I really really hope so.
I find some of the replies in this thread to be *puts on Oz voice again*:
Absolutely ridiculous
And its bad when the guy who is sometimes pegged as stuck up is saying "let us remove the broomstick from our rear please"
Rpers that are that sensitive need to go the way of the dinosaurs honestly, and this is coming from a dinosaur. I mean give me a damn break people its really not that serious, and I am a hell of a serious rper when I want to be. I should know. Sometimes I think our community complains more than even roleplaying itself.
Besides am I the only one who is old enough to remember this show?
