Blasphemy" he eventually got bored and left.I don't even understand what a person like that gets out of a role-playing game. If an MMORPG game doesn't serve to cater an interesting world to be immersed in and to feel like a character, what is it good for? Final Fantasy IX would have certainly been a terrible game if someone was coming in all the time and saying "you're not Zidane, harr harr!"
Isn't what's truly lame, to play an MMORPG with none of the benefits? Anyway, I'm certainly sad that we are already running into users like that. A bad playerbase ruins a game far more than any developers can.
If you don't feel like you're part of another realm, and get into characters and events, creating an amazing item, toppling an incredible monster, trekking through a creepy cavern, it's all weak and worthless. And I don't know why someone would try to depreciate the feeling that the roleplaying game, the only benefit it can give you, when you are paying money for that experience. Can you even consider yourself a fan of massively multiplayer online roleplaying games if you are against roleplaying, a fundamental aspect of the genre? Furthermore, does any game in existence thrive on destroying immersion instead of building?
It's times like these that sort of make me do wish we had a sort of official roleplaying server.
On a lighter note, I am really looking forward to having a home to invite people to and roleplay in. I'm reallying vying for the ability to craft a nice large home and spend lots of time decorating. And be able to invite someone in for tea and food, sitting down at a table with me.
I also have to forward that I would like to see a lot more roleplayers in the Adventurer's Guild in Gridania.
