II. RP Style
- Amount of RP (light, medium, heavy):
Heavy, although I do enjoy doing game content with a group of non-rp players.
- Views on RP combat and injuries:
RP combat can be alot of fun, but it's very easy to fall into god-mod category,
as nobody wants to come across as weak. This can be accomplished by setting
general rules for engagements, but all in all it makes things feel clunky.
I personally enjoy rping combat with said limitations, but I don't like random
elements like rolling for contact, and getting screwed over by /random. lol
As for injuries, they are also preference based. On one extreme end of the
spectrum, there are people who consistently almost die and spend alot of time
recuperating. There are also people on the other extreme end, who cut down waves
of enemies, and rarely if ever even take a scratch.
I personally feel that on occasion your character may be unprepared for some
such engagement, and he/she catches a stray blast of magic. There is little
defense against this, outside having an ally shield you, and so you take damage.
Albeit a burn, an arrow, a slice while crossing blades, an enemy pulls out a
weapon you weren't prepared for, etc. In these occasions injuries are
unavoidable. With the presence of in game healing magic, however, even modest
debilitating injuries can be healed in a modest period of time, and are thus
not a game ender.
- Views on IC romance:
IC romance is a part of the immersion in a world. Some people will draw lines
at some content (FTB, etc), while others may enjoy the... more private matters
of this subject. For the romance itself, I'm all for it. Myllor ultimately
intends on marrying and having a family to pass on his knowledge to. I'm not
personally an ERPer, though I have no problem with those that do. Just keep it
someplace private, and don't force people to acknowledge such things in public
in game areas.
Myllors sister, Kikianna, however, has no interest in such frivolous things.
Maybe if things work out in just the right way, she might develop feelings for
some guy she meets, but as of now, no interest.
- Views on non-romantic RP (family ties, etc):
Again, I like it for the possibility it has of actually existing. It is
plausible, and not immersion breaking, and thus should be embraced. I personally
have two seperate brother-sister pairs. Midlander Hyurs who as of ARR are 31
and 33, and Moon keeper Miqo'te who are 19 and 21.
For players who join the game together, and can collaborate on a backstory,
I think it's a really cool thing to be able to rp in real time with another
player playing as a sibling of very close friend/pseudo sibling.
- Views on lore:
Lore is the guidelines for rp. If it is not precedented by tangible in game
lore, then it is not feasible. I recall from early 1.0 xiv that somebody once
met a player who claimed to be 'the princess from the mainland'. This is
ludacris and completely unprecedented. Also in game empires.
- Views on chat functions (/say, /linkshell, etc):
I'm not sure what this is asking, but /say and /shout (And /yell?) are things
said out loud that anybody else can hear canonically. /linkshell is words that,
while spoken out loud, are absorbed into the linkpearl, and not heard by people
in close proximity. This is because people in close proximity who are not in
said linkshell, cannot actually hear what you are saying in game.
