Two Camps

Yttrium · 01-08-2009, 05:39 PM

It seems to me that there are two camps in RO:

1. RO is just a game - the people controlling their characters should be treated with respect, i.e. don't annoy them by killing their characters over and over, don't save camp, don't run away from battles because it's not fun for your opponent. Arranged PVP, arranged alliances and realm switching are ok.

2. RO is a different world - the people controlling their characters are irrelevant. The characters are at war and realm enemies should be killed on sight no matter the circumstances. Arranged PVP, arranged alliances and realm switching break the immersion of the game and ruin the fun.

I'm curious to see how many there are in each camp.

I voted "Somewhere inbetween." - But I would say I lean more to the 1st option.

To me it is just a game, I'm not one for RolePlaying or taking the game and it's context/s too seriously.

But the only things I kind've look down apon is realm switching and alliances.

Like on Horus, Alius is suffering from underpopulation, so, from what I'm told, people leave Alsius to play for the zerg realm.

Also that's what pisses me off about Invasions.. Is that normally in order to invade it turns into a 2 vs. 1 fight... That's not "RvR" that's "2Rv1R." And at the moment on RA at least, it's very much Syrtis and Alsius vs. Ignis.

Armed camps? Is this a reference to World War I?

Anyway I think theres 2 groups:

People who play for fun
People who take everything too seriously

As for myself, I try to follow the old RPG concept, where you envision yourself as the person you are controlling. (which leads into mental disease YIPPIE)

somewhere inbetween, it's just a game, dying or losing is not worse than to be able to stop playing, however I take my "game" seriously by applying strategy, pwnage into it but still remember I'm not playing single player but multi player. Running away from fights, no thanks, letting some people live, sometimes. Switching realms, I don't see it as treason but I don't like it as I'll miss hearing the person. well I care if some person leaves a realm if it's underpopulated (like Matt) else not really. They may have their reasons

Matt, I always try to get our people to target Syrtis first, but they don't always listen to me, nor am I always online.

Whatever goes on out there is each of our own business, we're not friends ingame even if we are elsewhere, and ingame anything breaks down.

For me it is "somewhere in between". I kill enemies if I can, noone will be spared. If an enemy bows to you, take advantage of his stance and cut off his head.
On the other hand I know killing one player over and over is annoying so I usually kill the same player twice and then only if he deserves it :-)

ad. RvR - although Ignis is the least populated realm on Ra atm, we have a strong army and a friendly community. So whatever Syrtis and Alsius, cooperate against us or not, we will chase you out from our realm anyway! At least we won't get bored :-P

I try to kill every enemy that I come across. If he bows, kill him. I will however, let him do his business around the save (unless he attacks me, which has happened XD)

I do tend to take this a bit serious, realm switching IS treason unless your a pt trying to find your place. 20+ switches are unacceptable in my mind.

Being narrow-minded is not a crime.

So I have to choose between being a traitor or being a pt ? How narrow minded of you, can't I be both ?
