You request, I follow.
So... where did we stopped?
I "tried" to have one during Aion. Somehow, I can't play alone. Without someone to enjoy the game with me, its only half as mch fun. Plus, Im a sucker for romance. *snicker*
Luckily, I have a cuddly friend who will follow right behind with me.
If the relationship is WELL DONE and REALISTIC, it can be a wonderfull thing. Though it requires a great deal of trust to the other person.
And, for me again, there is a very fine line between two things that can make the differance between a Relationship and... "That other side", as there is no really a word for what I have in mind. True, a real relationship cant go well without a certain level of intimacy. Question is, HOW this level is worked with in RP. IF it is played... There are endless ways, between "Okay, our chars go to bed. Have they done anything during the night?" and the real thing.
Now the question... CS or eRP? The line is thin, but it is there. CS (Cybersex) is.. well, disgusting, focused around the one and only thing and dont give a damn about the character, as its centered around the players own likes and desires.
eRP is centered around the character, his/her desires and tastefull writing, as eRP can be a GREAT thing, if done properly. Interesting fact, that it can be fun without even being erotic.
The biggets deal is keeping an RP-Relationship "running"... as the days fly by much faster then RL-Days, a relationship can dull pretty quicly. Both sides should make sure it remains interesting. While it is s"just" RP, one should always ask themselves "What could I do to make him/her happy?" It helps a lot.
Not everyone would like to see their character sad or crying because his/her lover broke up as it became dull and boring.
Phew.. enough wall of text for now.
