How much 18 rp means to our players...

I've learned a lot from my first thread, and I'll be more cautious about the title now. (The title's probably the most important thing people read )

So yeah. :]

You should have left your original post and added the rest below.

Clearly YOU think RP means something as your main attack is will domain + staff matery.

Most mages that skill for Mental + SM will stand a pretty good chance of killing their oponent and getting high RP, even after the recent SM nerf. However.... It sucks. There is no skill involved and it is boring. You may be high up in the RP rankings, but other players will point at you and laugh when you kill them.

I'd sooner be (lol... and am) a crap mage who plays crap, that doesn't use SM and gets fewer RP as a result, than someone who uses a high level knock on their oponent and kills them with SM hits before they get a chance to stand up and fight back. It's not skillfull. Its just RP whoring.

Can you honestly say you get a "buzz" from the way you fight? The most exciting fights for me are when they're really close, I have to use a wide variety of spells and the fight is evenly matched.

With regards to your original post that you deleted: In the unlikely event that I get a chance to chase someone to, or run past their save and kill them, I will. Even if it means losing 20 RP and I would EXPECT and WANT other players to do the same to me.

The fun is in the FIGHT not the SCORE.

I would suggest you take note of Foamy's opinion about "achievements", that I also share (NSFW):

RP means nothing.
