I don't know why somany people relate all the game to rp. Its just ridiculous. Rp means nothing, nevertheless you know that ... Stop being obsess ... Rp are always the good reason to do unfair things ...
Ieti, if people wants to kill you when they capture back the fort, that's not for rp ... They fight maybe 1 hour or 2 for that, that's just the game ...
I think farming at samal or aggy for 3 hours like so many time syrtis zerg do ( and yes maybe ignis at european night) is mostly for rp, because where is the fun there ?
But don't worry, you are not the lonely mage to do that, you have pro horse runners in syrtis
Sorry its off topic, but the topic is related to rp anyway ...
