There have always been people in MMOs who feel the need to harass RPers for no good reason other than they think it's fun. There are people who just harass other people, regardless of RP-tendencies, you know? So why not pick a group that seems harmless to pick on? "Surely they won't fight back? And if they do, good! More fun for me!" Maybe I'm being overly dramatic, but it certainly feels that way at times to me. Personally I just ignore most people who grief when I RP. Most of them are just looking to get a rise out of us anyway, so why give it to them? This isn't to say this is always the case. There are also times when someone just doesn't plain understand what I'm doing and will go away when I NICELY ask them to. There are ALSO the smattering of griefers who will go away with a smile if you just throw a couple of cute emotes at them to show them you're not bothered and can take a joke. It's quite a varied crowd, now that I think about it and the hard part is figuring out which breed of griefer you're dealing with. Always best to start with the friendly route, though. Why get into a shouting match and let it interrupt your fun if a few emotes will send them packing? In REALLY bad harassment situations, and I've had a few, it's totally within reason to call a GM or report the person to their guild leader. SE's made it very convenient to right click on a name and view their company profile; the free company leader's name is right there for easy communication! I, personally have used the latter method a few times and all of the FC leaders I've spoken with seem very willing to listen to serious harassment cases. Most leaders don't want people giving their FC a bad name. P.S. -- Sometimes I look at their gear, notice mine is better and say to myself, "Hm. Maybe you should spend more time gearing yourself rather than harassing people since that's all you're playing this game FOR." ... But that's a private, inside thought I don't share : P

IIIII like it! That some fun texture goin' on there and a rather nice style, imo~ More, please!

Thank you very much Here's another! Pensive Stratos [spoil][/spoil]

Holy crap, that's cute as hell. I wish I were on Gilgamesh so I could help you out : P

This was brought up when we initially chose to build the second forum section. We felt that, while things like events were an obvious choice for needing their own section, "discussion" ought to be something that everyone regardless of server felt they could be included in. Separate forums would discourage this interaction. While we respect that there are communities on multiple servers, it's our stance that the less division there is between our community as a whole, the better. If people really do feel that discussion threads need to be differentiated, though, maybe the solution is a simple server note in the subject line or main body of the post.

I think in the case of ANY MMO, as time passes, many lasting friendships are formed, but on the flip-side, people discover players that they can't stand. I wouldn't say that I think this makes things more toxic, people just sort of learn who those are that they don't want to affiliate with. My suggestion here, is to do just that: avoid those you find you just CANNOT be friendly with. Otherwise, try and talk to them about things you might have heard, CALMLY! It could be that your issue is all just a misunderstanding at the core. It's also good to try and avoid believing everything you hear about those in the community. Take rumors with a grain of salt and form your own opinions of the people you interact with. All we can try and do it be fair, right?

^This. We here have no issue with whatever our users want to rp, but some of it you just can't display here. I know the vast majority of players here have individual forums they visit for their own linkshell/free company communities and perhaps those are better places for such content if it's allowed there.

As Aysun said, I don't normally check this post for pearl requests. Please contact someone in game for a pearl

As explained in the shell, the erp conversation was joking. It fell in amongst a bunch of other -rp labels (larp, erp, etc), just people naming off stuff willy nilly. And the RP you were invited to was not erp, ALSO as explained in the shell... Heaven forbid someone remove clothing for any reason. I understand if you'd like to avoid things you find questionable, but instantly judging an entire group of people based on something so simple is rude. Good luck with your shell, but please don't badmouth ours.

Ok! So after the three most harrowing months of my life D:, I'm winding back up to do some of these commissions I've promised! Here's my list of requests based on PMs I've gotten, (see this is why I asked those! I'm totally organized /cough): Seto - Confirmed, but delayed Fearless Tyriont - Confirmed Costia Jade Eclipse (though you didn't confirm the first time) Please confirm that you still want your commissions and/or if you are no longer interested! This is the order in which they were requested and I'm going to try and stick to that, but "delivery" may fluctuate based on payments received. If you've spoken to me about a commission and you're not on this list, it's likely because you didn't send me a PM . Thank you all very much for your patience and don't feel bad at all if you decide you don't want a commission from me anymore. I've made you all wait much too long! <3 Here's the list of people waiting for confirmations to finish: Ellie N'taeyl Evelyn Zanzariel Roen Deneith/Brynn Caelia
