OH SNAPS I got rolled.

errrr lol. I think we went off the phrase "What to not do when roleplaying"

Sorry, wasn't trying to be surly It's entirely obvious to the entire community when I get surly

Kuriosity Kildakat. Final Fantasyxiv. Kitty Katslave.

At which point they should just make it an AH.

That's fine, it's just a difference of opinion on what roleplaying should be.

... so you're telling me that I should not have expressed any sort of hint at what he was thinking in this? That just seems silly, and cuts down on what I believe is good additional depth of description or narration ongoing in the scene. The posted example is out of context, I admit, but it should be enough of an example. If you're writing a book that's fine. If you're RPing, then the only thing my char got was what you actually said.

Yeah don't get me wrong, I'm glad they're doing this. It'll help somewhat. Not as much as an auction house. But somewhat.

You can't blame the writer for what the other person decides to drag from writer narration or inner monologue to knowing and responding to verbally. That's just ten degrees of Cheet-o's Brand Cheesy. :? Then again, some people look at what they write more in the scope of writing a book (albeit as a team project, it being RP and all). And last I checked, books are chock full of writers narrating what a character is thinking, or adding flavor beyond just their physical actions and verbalized words. If you have a thought, and you want others to know it, you speak it. If you emote what you're thinking, I have to treat it like I never even saw it.

This is ok in theory, but in reality it takes a long time to navigate the menus andd switch out items with your ward, before even setting prices.

Don't emote your thoughts. That's meta behavior.

So now you need a retainer I'm every ward, and people still need to sort through countless wards. I guess the fact that there is some organization is a little better.

That video was hilarious. I started to crack up during the copy pasta segment. Too much qq going on in the response thread on their site.

lol! WHY DO YOU WANT TO HURT PEOPLE!!!

Civ 5 is how I pass time between Leve cooldowns.

Roleplayers will always be the minority, so don't be surprised by the oddball names. Frankly, some of them are hilarious. "Kuiosity Kildacat"

Certain guilds have certain facilities in certain cities.

Now this I agree with you on. There are certain conveniences that should simply be there, and are not.

It's hard to maintain a player base when the same experience can be gathered in any other game. I just don't see an MMO being successful if it plays second banana to WoW without carving a niche.

And not every game wants to be like every other game. If it boils down to just combat, there are plenty of MMOs that are just combat.

I think FFXIV is designed so that you pretty much have to craft, if not to make your own armor then to generate income by which to gain armor.

I can't wait until I turn one hundred!

That's what is says on the board announcements!

To ArmachiA! FOR TURNING ONE HUNDRED!!!
