I just find it VERY odd that people who play a multi-player massive online ROlE PLAYING game would have such a problem with roleplayers that they would actively give them a hard time.

tbh, I'm not worried at all. It is fairly clear that we as a community have a right to role play. If those people cause too much trouble, I'd report them.

I also find it amusing that people on an RPG would troll RPers. I like pointing out that, unless you are PLAYING a human, you don't have much grounds to troll another person for RPing.Â
Even if that is the case, what does it matter that someone else is doing something different than you? RP has no effect on anyone but the people doing it. Sadly, those people do not think the way we do.

Pretty much this. Unless you are PLAYING a Human, with the same gender as you, same skin color as you, same height and body type as you, who looks EXACTLY like you? You are role-playing in some form. Hell it's an MMORPG.

Last I checked, MMORPGs and RPGs had the word "Role-Playing" in it.

I was forced to get on gilgamesh due to Balmung being full. I haven't had any interactions at all but from the names i keep seeing, stuff like Naruto uchiha madara elric lalouche the douchesicle . i'm probably not going to like it here... i hate names stolen from anime..i hate them..

I'm hoping Balmung opens up for launch/ early access.

Kismet · **08-17-2013, 02:00 PM**

Others have said it already, but I'm repeating things for emphasis. There are trolls EVERYWHERE. It doesn't matter what their reasoning is, they will be there, and they will eventually grief you. No one place is troll-free. It's something you've just got to deal with.

Also, experiences will differ from person to person, place to place, time to time. I'm not accusing anyone here of this in particular, but just be aware of the fact that you are not some special victim with a special circumstance. Some people were lucky enough to not encounter the same negativity you did, others might have got blasted with it the moment they logged in for the first time. It happens.

That's part of the reason we have RPC. Make some friends or find a few friendly groups and stick by em'. You'll be fine, regardless of what server you're on.Â Thumbsup

Balmung was open this morning. Please keep checking if you want to create a character there. Smile

My experience thus far has been mostly the opposite. Honestly, I'm actually impressed that, especially being OPEN beta (aka free test, no investment necessary), that one of the most populated servers has had minimal douchebaggery. I saw people bashing RPers a few times in zone shout chat yesterday, but nothing unexpected from an "unofficial" RP server. As someone else mentioned, many of these players are walking into a normal server only to find out it has a heavy set of RPers, and some folks, whether it's misconception, general ignorance, or groupthink/mobrule, just hate RPers "just because." I know it can be tough to avoid xxSephiroth Gokuxx attempting to teabag you while you're in-character, but the more you ignore the trolls, the more they go away.

I kill them with kindness and go along with my day, tbh Wink

Nothing frustrates anti-RPers more than you continuing to enjoy yourself (not suggesting to force it on anyone/do it at their expense by any means; just saying when you encounter griefing, as immersion-breaking as it can be, it's only gonna be worse if you pick at it).

I asked a guy who had a strong dislike of RPers about this...

His answer made sense.

In his eyes, what Role-playing means his nothing more than having a character to represent him in the game world. To him that's all playing a role is. And it's a perfectly legit definition I mean it doesn't -have- to go any further. Yet there are people (us) who claim that it's not RPing, that RPing goes further than that, and they (us) start making demands and acting superior like we know better, we are better, and we bitch about immersion... To him us so-called RPer were just weird creeps taking it too far. And all those stereotypes and ERPphobia don't help.

As much as it pained me I could kinda understand where the guy came from.

Buuuut it maaay also be the chosen server of the Reddit and 4chan community... Sooo that might be what you ran into. I can't vouch for them, because I've never actually been on 4chan or Reddit, but their reputation isn't the best.. Â to say the least.

However, there are a lot of RPers hiding on Gilgamesh, it's more the fact that it's Beta.. the first day for that matter, and most people are focusing on leveling and getting things set up. So most people aren't even RPing. I know that I spent the day getting to 20, and now that I'm set, I'm pretty much just sitting in Limsa Lominsa, just reading shoutchat and being alt tabbed, but I haven't seen any RP since Beta started actually.

SHORT VERSION: It's Beta, soo it'll clear up with RP blossoming when we actually launch, or maybe tomorrow, we'll see!

I agree completely with what he has said. It is beta.. Open beta meaning free game for whatever time length. EVERYONE goes flying into beta. You'll have to wait till early access or even launch to see who is left residing. The players actually sticking around and playing after launch.. Like he said we're buckling down and doing what we gotta do to be prepared so we can be a little bit more laid back upon launch. I've beta capped my guy.. Started farming gathering materals, work on a crafting prof and farming dungeons (If I can.. Its a nightmare for DPS as always.)

Â It is also up to the community to shape the server.. So I trust gilgamesh will be a nice Â server..

Was actually going to make a thread for this but I didn't want to clog it up with my nonsense. I'm a Beta capped Conjurer and I'm farming dungeons for Acolyte boots. Sooo if you (Or anyone else) wants a shorter que. Poke me in-game~
