*cracks knuckles*
While I agree that everyone likes to role-play as a mega-tool…..i mean epic-warrior, we have to many of these. There is a reason ninja-orphan-assassins have been banned from the application process, we had to many. Most of our population like to think they are a unique warrior in some way, the strongest, the fastest exc. Well if you want to be the strongest in everyones eyes, go beat royo_royal, if you want to be the fastest, beat the man with the highest agility.
To many people create these characters without any explanation of HOW, if your character is demigod of the world, I really DONT CARE, but he sure as hell better have the magnificent backstory to explain it, and he better act the part in role-play.
You want to be a warrior? Fine stop farming, stop mining, and go throughout the northern kingdoms hunting down monsters for people, the point is to immerse yourself in the community, we have farmers to provide food, miners to provider iron, and soldiers to defend cities, these people role-play together, and grow together.
In roleplay, a great warrior has nothing in common with these mundane men, they aren't going to take the farmer or miner with them, indeed they would say no. The guard might have a friendly conversation, but even he won't go spelunking with you.
Everyone wants to be unique, in every possible way, the sad part is they are using the gaming worlds definition of unique thats been shoved down our throats for years. What do I mean by that? Almost all protagonist in video games (and yes we all play them) are some type of epic-asskicking-mega lord. Sure we start out a little weak (skill tres
) but we still know who we are, we are master chief, kratos, ezio, exc. Sadly this game doesn't have a skill tree, so skilled warriors can't start out as skilled warriors they can only be judged on their sword.
Sadly most of us pick something with combat skills to be unique, well one of my characters doesn't even have combat skills, he just walks around in a half-crazy-dazed stupor.
Remember my children, this is a roleplaying server, with the goal as creating as much immersion into OUR world as possible, hell if Cherbert could pull you into the servers mainframe he would, but its not a PVP server, its not a be the best server, its not a overpower people by being a mega-knight server. When you role-play as something stupid, or overpowered people simple walk away from you and don't role-play with you, then your alone and their are bad things being whispered about you in teamspeak *ninja eyes* then you have no point to be here, so make the smart choice and make it so your character can grow! Growing through life is what makes a character important!
