I've been on the server for a long time, and so this is a bump and a edit so the new players can see my opinions of the roleplay and hopefully improve and perfect they way you roleplay.
Things that annoy me #1.
Choosing the next move.
When you use '*' in RP it means you're performing an action, but when you choose the next action for someone else, it sort of makes the RP stale and bland. For example:
*Pushes bob over into the water barely missing a rock*
RP is the core of our server, and when you take away the freedom of the other player, it can ruin the RP fast. For a better way to do this, way until the other player does his or her action. For example"
*pushes bob* and then 'bob' will choose his next move
*falls into water scraping his arm on the shallow water's rocks* This allows a sharp turn in RP and makes it tangier and fun.
Things that annoy me #2.
No cooperation.
This is when you perform a action or event in Direct RP and the other player does nothing.
For example *grabs bob by the neck* and then he just walks away ignoring your action in the middle of a roleplay. A good way to do this is to go through the RP, yet again it would make RP more fun with more surprises.
And no this doesn't mean you can randomly jump into a RP and do whatever you want in that RP.
Things that annoy me #3.
Strikedown of a RP
This is when you think that your RP is better then others and that you deserve higher authority than other people. It is also when you intrude on a RP and tell them to stop because you are making a better RP than they can. Remember, nobody's RP is better then anyone's other unless it is a major RP and is planned massively and needs to be finished. A good way to avoid these 'Strikedowns' Is to NOT ask to stop the RP, but to Roleplay your way out of it, make it a add on the current RP.
Things that annoy me #4
When RP turns to OOC
I have read some threads on how OOC is used too much in RP so I decided to add something about how it annoys me also.
When you use '()' or '[]' brackets in RP it means you have something to say out of character in the roleplay chat, mostly used to inform someone of a upcoming move or anything like that...
But when RP chat is overrun with brackets it turns to OOC chat and pauses the roleplay and over time just becomes a OOC chat and the roleplay is lost... If you're going to have a OOC chat, do it on OOC... not ruin the roleplay for others.
These are just my opinions, I do expect to be yelled at because I am enforcing 'false rules'
but thank you for your time to read this

My character was trained as a mage for years. Ive had students current and new from when i was the headmaster in Uthrandir, (bellon taught me himself whenever he was online) say in situations where magick was needed leta say a fight. Id tell them to listen to me and they would run into the heat of battle saying things that were way beyond their capability. darkwolf was one of them >_> no offense. but there were many others too, juat the other day i logged on to find a few characters fighting it out with magick and they were playing hop-frog and getting nowhere in the rp..it saddens me to see this among our trusted playerbase..
