Don't recall seeing any Freaks in Independence Port... Tsoo, Council, Family, Devouring Earth, Giant Octopus...

I've seen plenty there. They're not as common as the others, but they certainly are there.

Don't really think it's possible. Might get something vaguely orb-shaped, but not completely.

Why is everyone ragging on him...it was just a question.

[/ QUOTE ]

Because our community members feel the need to roleplay forum moderators. Or to get that invisible badge that only they can see.

Also to increase post counts and make people feel like idiots and not wanted on the forums.

[/ QUOTE ]

Well, when you think about it, you're doing the same thing right here that you're criticizing them for. Even if you're aiming at the other posters, it's still the same thing. In short, practice whatcha preach, ami.

[ QUOTE ]
Yup. Then again, I also ran the tutorial and paid attention, like I do with all the tutorials. Most players aren't like me though, I'm weird.

1. The scheduled maintenance window is 8 AM to 10 AM Central Time (6 AM to 8 AM Pacific, 9 AM to 11 AM Eastern) on Mondays and Fridays.

[/ QUOTE ]

7AM to 9AM Mountain. But that time zone doesn't really matter. >.>

Seriously, though, weekly maintenance is normal for MMOs. Don't know of any major MMOs that don't do it.

No, in PvP it's just a detoggler. No disorient.

Bugs aside, though... It's not intended behavior, so the point remains that escape missions =/= timed missions.

[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ]
See, this is why you read the mission text.

[/ QUOTE ]

Then they need to specify Escape == Timed. Theres no timer. They either need to state it or put the timer up there.

[/ QUOTE ]\

But escape =/= timed. If you never "wake up" the boss, he'll never escape and the mission can be left open indefinitely.

Note that it is entirely possible for a mez to only effect you for a split second. This -will- drop offensive toggles. And this is nothing new...

I'm not Tony Stark, Batman, the Fantastic Four, or the Punisher. This is not Marvel or DC universe. This is Paragon City, where heroes are not vigilantes working outside the law but licensed, government subsidized arms of law enforcement.

Parasitic heroes? He, let 'em go on strike for a day to leave the citizens to the mercies of Arachnos, CoT, Council, and so on and see how "parasitic" they really are.

Eh, I tell if/when RP might lead to a relationship just because it can create too much trouble if I don't. Yes, I'm secure enough to RP a female character who has a boyfriend. No, I don't cyber anyway, so that's irrelevant. But, some folks tend to get weirded out by it. Some folks have trouble with separation of IC and OOC, too...which can make things weird for ME if I don't come out with it.

Well, really, I tend to be up front about it in general. Exception being in my EQ2 guild, where people don't tend to want OOC details about players talked about in public channels. But, I'd never actively lie about it. Even so, I can see why someone would with the attitude a lot of people have toward playing cross-gender characters. Saves a lot of headaches. 'course, the people WA described went way too far with it, but they're exceptions to the norm.

Virtue. Tends to be where you'll find the most RPers, though you can likely find 'em on any server.

It tends to be in June or July, and in July, around middle of the month. Since they don't have the calendar images for anything past April this year, anyone know?

[/ QUOTE ]

Until they announce one, don't assume that another one is even going to happen. They aren't guaranteed things.

It's generally what RPers use to indicate OOC ( Out of Character ).

You've included people here in your generalizations. Even after they made it known that they were among the group you were generalizing. At that point, the generalizations became personal attacks.

Either way, such grossly inaccurate and flat-out offensive generalizations are no better than personal attacks.

[ QUOTE ]
Actually, a lot of people think the exact same way.

If you're pulled over and treated badly by a cop, odds are good you won't like cops from that point forward.

Stereotypes suck

Welcome to America.

[/ QUOTE ]

No, idiots think that way. Plenty of people are intelligent enough to realize that cops are people and people aren't all the same.

Wiki brought up a good point...is there a RP dedicated server here? If not, why not? If so, then don't bring that crap to other servers.

[/ QUOTE ]

There's not one because the game itself is an RPG ( Hence, MMO***RP***G ). And if you have a problem with people roleplaying, get the smeg out of our RPG. If you don't want to RP, fine, no problem. But if you're going to sit here and belittle and generalize RPers, the get the hell out. You're in the WRONG place.

lol...another highschool.."if you don't like it leave" post.

No, another grown-up "If you're in a sports bar and can't stand sports playing on the TVs, then you're in the wrong place".

Funny that you keep insisting that you're "old" and talking about other people acting like kids when you've been the most immature one here. You and your sockpuppet. ( No, I'm not at all fooled into believing that someone with the exact same reg date and personality as you who just happened to show up when people called you on blabbing like an idiot is a different person... )

What difference is it that someone wants to pretend to be someone else in a Massively Multiplayer Role Playing Game?

[/ QUOTE ]

Actually I think the genre is MMOG...not MMORPG. Massively multiplayer online game, not necessarily Massively multiplayer online ROLEPLAYING game.

[/ QUOTE ]

You think wrong. It's MMORPG. The "lolrp!" crowd just tends to arbitrarily remove the "RP" from it.

[/ QUOTE ]

No. I dont think wrong. I play how I play, and the numbers back up that the vast majority play this way as well i.e. not RPing at all and just mashing buttons and running around in a virtual world.

Therefore, to market the game as a RPing game is actually targetting the vast minority of paying customers, so i think you will find the companies that make these games themselves backing away from the RP element of the MMORPG catch all title.

I am not of the lolrp crowd or really any crowd other then I play to play and have some fun, and dont really care what others do as long as it doesnt tread on "weird" territory and make me or others uncomfortable in game, so the RP in MMORPG is truly meaningless to me, but my $15 a month is not meaningless to the company, nor are the $15 a month of the majority of their playerbases. So in that regard, the game is truly MMOG.

The RP in the title is a relic of a bygone age. MMOGs main income is truly not from RP players.

[/ QUOTE ]

It doesn't matter how YOU or anyone else plays it. It's an MMORPG. Designed and marketed as such.

As to your last line there, RPers tend to be the longest term players. And when you really look at it, you'd be surprised how many people RP to some degree, even if they don't full-out RP.

RPing in-game is not the same as RPing on a forum. There is a difference. RPing on the forums often and does bring out long extended "stories" that a person might compose to continue a particular story line.

RPing in-game consists of more back and forth chat between players. There's a bigger interaction in game between the people than there is on the forums.

[/ QUOTE ]

Wrong, skippy. Some people may "RP-lite" where it's just a little IC chatter in-game, but there are plenty of full-on RPers who develop involved stories and etc in-game. Once again, you're generalizing based on limited exposure.

Just out of curiosity, which quote holder are you referring to?

[/ QUOTE ]

I'd assume the person he was replying to. And I agree. Having a long-distance relationship doesn't suddenly become bad and/or pathetic just because it takes place over the internet.

*laughs* Oh, dear lord. Someone has way too much free time.

( By the way, I think I've asked before but managed to miss the answer...how do you do the cycling avatars? )

I played in a pair of RP guilds ( one good, one evil ) that had been on Tunare since EQ launched. ( Wind Riders and Shadow Striders ) According to the leaders, some of the guilds' lore nearly made it into official game lore. I think the reason it didn't make it is SOE wanted to make some alterations that the leaders didn't want to go for...
