Three words: Death. Of. Statesman.

Agreed. I was JUST lamenting my total lack of anything to do on Halloween (if it was socially acceptable, I would TOTALLY trick-or-treat. I LOVE Halloween). And here comes this.

An inter-woven storry. Unique enemies. Trick or treating. Unique limited-availability badges. All-night time setting. Even a new monster-class villain.

And, as if to smack me in the head and say "you think we're done with you?" The toss in a Peanuts refference and give me a rock. Genius. My hats off to the devs on this one.

On one server I have a character called The Vegan. He's scrawny, pasty faced, has the bushy beard and messy hair and what look like hemp pants on. I made him just to RP someone that people would hate I'll stand in Atlas Park and shout about how eating meat is wrong and ask who wants to kick the hackey sack around...basically push all the earth-mother hippie liberal vegetarian BS that I can't stand. People get really burned up, but if I really get someone riled up I send a tell to them that I'm just goofing around. Anyone who knows me can attest that I'd sooner die than give up eating all those tasty animals...

If you've already leveled him, delete him, and then re-create him. Now, every once and a while, while still at level 1, run in to a fight, use brawl to punch one thug, then go "pant...pant...excuse me....I gotta...I gotta go lay down now wheeeeeze" or "OW! My bones! What the heck? It's like they're missing somethin!"

There's a reason for that. Roleplaying Nazis is different from role-playing any other group because of the philosophy and ideology behind them. With thieves and murderers, it's usually just a matter of laziness or "moral flexibility" as they say. With Nazis/Klansmen etc., you're role-playing still-existing symbols of racial hatred and genocide.

People get mad at you because they don't understand how anyone could want to even PRETEND to be something so vile. It's one thing with NPC's. They're lifeless sequences of 1's and 0's (and if you notice, even THEY don't really act like Nazis, I've yet to see any of them call for the extermination of any "mongrel races"). People understand that they're just targets put there to give people something they want: the chance to beat the ever-living snot out of Nazis. Believe me, if the 5th column had even a spark of sentience, people would be yelling at them.

IT disturbs me how many people I've seen on this game who don't grasp just how much the Nazis have done to people, and I'm not just talking WWII. I wonder if all the Indiana Jones, Captain America "Nazis as villians stories" have somehow had the REVERSE of the intended effect and ended up desensitizing people to this evil?

As a RolePlayer since D&D was in pamphlet form and called Chainmail, I have been waiting for this ( or something like this for well over 30 years.) with great anticipation. As far as RolePlaying is concerned, most I have encountered wouldn't know how to RolePlay even if you paid them to go to ACTING school. Key point - ACTING. Your character has no knowledge of the game mechanics, You do. So have your character talk as you would talk ( Do you talk to others about the physics that effect your average day.). This helps give your character a lil more flavor. Also, I am in complete agreement with the others. Must give your Character a history, a Background. Something that helps seperate your character from the next MooK that made the same costume,name,etc. 9 out of ten I encounter have no Bio Info, So Sad. So Very Sad.......
I mostly play on the Guardian server. Yet I find myself so jaded with trying to team that I have decided to prove 1 can solo in this game. I find it so hard to deal with the players who don't RolePlay, or cry about RolePlaying. Or worry more about the game mechanics and the debt. I have 1 thing to say to that...... Go Play Your XboX. Not that i want debt, yet it will happen no matter how hard you perpare not to die. Kinda like life. My primary character Xxx SunRay xxX's SG is called " LIFE IS DEBT ".
My advice to you is give your character a history so you know where they came from, which will give you a better idea where your going. If your interested in hooking up or need a hand,message me thru the forum or find me on Guardiana as any of the below.....

Xxx SunRay xxX an Alien Fire Elemental
the Scab Peeler a Drow Healer with a Conscience and Heart
the OD DITTY a Crazy Streetfighting Lounge Lizard
SunRay'sExwife an Ice Queen who cries about the Alimony
VinnyBagOdonut a Leg Breaker for the Family
and a few more....ok....many more.

That's great. But I know how to role-play. The question was which is the second most role-play friendly server. All my characters have extensive backgrounds. I just wanted a server with some other people that get into it.

So I've gone a bit over-board with the alts. I've got one Character that I play ten times more than any of the others, but there's just so many character options in this game.

So, next to Virtue, what's the most RP-friendly server?
