yes, its me again with another idea. Dont worry, eventually ill run out... I hope.
Other MMOs have a small following of dedicated players because they RolePlay. I have seen some mention in the forum of LARP (although not technically correct, as larp is live action roleplay... this is a game)
Why not generate some sort of loose story. A paragraph will probably be enough. Then let roleplayers come in and make it their own. Im sure if you offer roleplayers a sub option... where they can effect the early lore of a games history. Some may snap that up.
This issue with that is, you would need to make more cosmetic items. But this group of players could generate income for Jorbtar.
The RPers should just be aware that the world they live in is not totally RP. It works in ESO, they just ignore none RP chat.

And then the raiders come and masacre all the larpers and they quit. Which probably happened already.

Re: RP player base
There is role-playing material for you to start with. Take every pop up lore event take the storys of the skills. Use what you find int he creation room. It then becomes your world form there. Unleash your inner desire and proceed.

Re: RP player base
RP is not possible because some people like frost would ruin it.

Re: RP player base
This is what happened to my people, and also to literally every single other RP band I was stalking last world. But we have a melee-only dota mentality here and that won't change, considering how the game is being promoted. Anything that stands out gets targeted by griefers, even paving artwork, and they go out of their way simply to ruin it and make a raid thread.Avu wrote:And then the raiders come and masacre all the larpers and they quit.

I suggested a more developed version of that to the devs some months ago, they didn't seem to like it.Kalacia wrote:Why not generate some sort of loose story. A paragraph will probably be enough. Then let roleplayers come in and make it their own.

Bah, oh well... looks like my RP friends will keep talking to me about WoW and ESO.

Re: RP player base
You just need to tell them that RP in Hafen stands for Raid and Pillage, and you get to RolePlay a internet bully and grief new players, hermits and carebears. Seems to be working good for some folks.
