Really, unless you are the one involved in it, most RPing, especially in MMOG's, is quite gay.

That seems to be the other one.

What's up with that anyway? Whenever I hear anything about ninja-looting drama, inter-guild drama, or just plain drama, it's always ER or Tichondrious. And that's not just stuff from people who post here either, I see people bitching about those two servers on every other forum or website I visit that talks about WoW at any length.

This is the type of RP that I find to be mildly tolerable, as if the entire game world is an SNL skit or something..  It's the ones that take themselves seriously that I want to backhand.

Zhiwu: ((I know that this is a bit off topic, but I'm wondering... how many of those who RP prostitutes are actually women IRL? I have a certain fascination with social constructs and motivations in MMORPGs that's been an area of study for years, and I've found in past MMORPGs that those who roleplay prostitutes and seductresses are usually male IRL. The RL females who RP seductresses, from my discussions with them, would not go so far as RPing a prostitute, they like to "feel sexy" but believe that selling themselves for money even in a RP context is, in their opinion, demeaning.))

Xalynne:  (( Believe it or not, but Xalynne/Amber is two different people. We're husband and wife. We both like to play, but with a 2 year old son and full-time jobs, we really can't devote the time we'd like to devote to a character. So we take turns using the same character, we just play her in our own style, and call it an "alternate personality". We don't tell each other what we've done, either, so the two personalities can remain seperate. ))

Zhiwu: Fascinating. So which of you plays up the prostitution aspect of the character more? Whose idea was it?

Xalynne (( Amber (the prostitute/amoral side) is normally played by me (male, husband) with input from my wife where needed. I'll often defer to her judgement calls when I'm not sure what Amber would do in a given situation.  We both came to an agreement on the Amber personality- that it's Xalynne's survival mechanism, her way of dealing with things her fragile mind just cannot handle at this point in her life. We agreed that Amber would do and say just about anything to survive, and I fleshed her out from there. ))

Not surpisingly, several of the guys that were soliciting Xalynne quietly vanished from the thread at this point.

Every once in a while you do run across someone that actually has the ability to RP without having to go "there".

I'm sure they don't include the 2 year old boy in their roleplay.  I would agree with the weirdness if that were the case.  I would also be likely to report them to something or other.  Most forms of roleplay is out of my comfort zone so I don't generally indulge.  But that's just me.  As far as arr-peeing a schizo hooker, well... at least it sounds creative.  Looking at bio's on CoH, I've found them to be mostly the same.  Orphan, industrial/environmental/evil government research accident, etc.  As long as they're having fun and making fools out of the boys who try and cyb0r them... it's all good.

Rum is now ale??

Why am I bothering this out, I couldn't begin to explain. I couldn't get any further than this...my brain rebelled and made a dash for my ear. I caught it as it hit my shoulder and shoved it back in.

I could swear there was a post by schild I wanted to reply to earlier ... coffee, please.

Edit: Found it in the Den, of course. Just wanted to know if schild was talking about the advertisement or the game itself "not being up to snuff" ?

Volatile Rum was often considered to be the most difficult ale to find in the southern seas.

Rum is now ale??

Later in the thread, someone posted "Only Jesus can turn rum into ale."   :wink:

In the next thrilling episode, the man behind Brakan (http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.aspx?fn=wow-realm-earthenring&t=114703&p=1&tmp=1#post114703) reveals that he would like to have hot gay sex with his toon.

Smoke billowed up into the air, blocking the stars, the night sky eating it up with its inky darkness. The crackle of the fires and the screams of the people only sent a greater ripped of frenzy through the crew. Brakan stood in the midst of it all, blades in hand, shirtless, and grinning. His skin glistened from sweat brought on by the heat from the fires

So, here's what I'm suggesting. Have your character commit a small crime and then have them do community service. This could be anything from greeting like Junto does outside of the Auction House in Orgrimmar, to walking around the streets emoting picking up trash while whistling.

On the few occassions I've done this, it's been a lot of fun.

Do these people ever leave the house or what?

Why is it that I just feel most roleplayers, especially those who roleplay on a server-wide message board, would shut the fuck up if they either: 1) got a good deep dicking, or 2) got that hug from daddy they wanted?

Or 3) Stopped getting a good deep dicking from Daddy and get some therapy.

m'lady this, thee that, STOP IT!

I cannot apologize enough for putting us on Earthen Ring.

All I can do is shut down the WoW forums and send them to the Den and try to forget any of this ever happened.

Being an RPer myself (keke), I gotta admit some "forum whore" RPers need either a close encounter with a car fire or forced removal of their intarweb access. What they don't seem to grasp is that RPing is supposed to be ACTING in-character INGAME, not posting 20 pages of not-work-or-brain-safe pron on the forums. Sadly, by posting crap like that, they perpetuate the stupid stereotype of all RPers being carebear 40-year old obese virgins living in their mom's basement with sailor moon posters on their walls. Or whatever the current stereotype is.

BTW, RP is a lot of fun when doing it in a game that supports it (UO and to a lesser extent SWG, too bad about the suck), but WOW sucks for RP, all level-based games do, imo.

(yes, I play on a pvp server. RP can't exist without pvp.)

Either that, or you could douse yourself with gasoline and try to jump through a flaming hoop.

EDIT - I guess I might have to admit that I might have played a small part in the existance of this thread. :-D

Roleplaying is like watching Star Trek.  Sure it's nerdy, but plenty of people do it, and there's no reason you can't partake now and again while remaining a more or less normal human being.  Then you see the freaks, the people who make it their whole lifestyle, and you're embarrassed to have had anything to do with it.

Exactly right.
