I think this ties into what I wanted to say in the "player friendly" thread. I've always felt the death system discourages new players. I feel there's a lot of talk about penalizing the many for the faults of the few. When I get home and have to explain to my roommate, who I just introduce...

One thing I would suggest is promoting background ties. I feel strongly that it's OK to start things OOC (because relying only on chance encounters IC, in such a large world with such varying times we play, does not promote roleplay the way some OOC planning might). This would be one source of playe...

I still feel like a relatively new player. I really like where the teacher system is going. I had a good experience where I could actually teach a new player important things about a skill in terms of commands, roleplay, and useful things to know. The tendency in the past was just to point them in t...

My understanding of parody/copyright issues from law class is that significant variations with reference to the original work are fair use. In other words, people will clearly see the reference to/inspiration from "A Pirate's Life" if you're making fun of it or using the song structure, bu...

since we're called on to voice our opinions. For me, the harsh death system in this game is one of the biggest deterrents to play. I would really like to see it changed so that recovering from death is more forgiving (although better results from PC raise is great for encouraging roleplay). This has...

*edit: woops, I missed the part about the picnic. I suppose the suggestion still stands, one way or another...* I heard a call for a ball or a fair or something earlier... and I like the idea of holding an event on the autumn equinox. I would really like it if people could roleplay this contest in g...

omg I love you guys too. the dedicated staff keeps me coming back for more.

Hmm. I guess I agree with Tavlik: I trust the vast majority of the players to be cool. That's why I keep playing this game. I would much rather have some sort of player-based rating system than the current hours-based system. It would be nice to have rewards for roleplay, not just being online. This...

Ehe... ok, responding to Dalvyn's main purpose in this proposal, and at the risk of playing devil's advocate, I think good roleplayers should be rewarded. with stuff. and unlocking things. I think, after hearing Dalvyn clarify, a player rating system could be a better way to do that. hear me out. th...

I'd really like to have a live chat and discussion about evil roleplay. I hope this happens, one-time or ongoing, especially to get some IMM perspective on how we as players can help out. Villains often initate conflicts and plots, but this is sometimes hard to do as a "nice" player. Maybe...

I would appreciate feedback, ESPECIALLY negative. I would much rather try to resolve an issue than have someone leave an RP in a huff, as Amalia said. An OOC "tell" conversation is the best we have, but a more formal system sounds better. I would also like a way to more often reward people...

As to character backgrounds please see: http://www.forgottenkingdoms.com/board/viewtopic.php?t=879 I take it back, people can't find what they need. *g* case in point. unless you already know where to find it, or you know it has been discussed, and especially the relevant thread where the final/mos...

I think most of the topics get old and irrelevant, but obviously there are some important ones. ... Wiki good. I don't really care about the topic devision. people can find what they need; yet, they're pretty sparse. whatever's easiest. Player-created content - a thing that I enjoy greatly and I thi...

I have to say, Stephanie was one (actually several!) of the all-around nicest, most cheerful and fun people to be around that I've ever met. She gave me the best first impression of this game - I strongly remember all the times she helped me out - and continued to make it a fun and welcoming experie...

First of all, the RP from the moms and the work from Waukeen are awesome and appreciated. Now personally, I think this debate is interesting for many of the reasons Lerytha brought up about the variety of experiences to be had by players and characters. At one point an ill-timed fever threw one of m...

there will be more events for people who can't make it this time... but I'm hoping lots of audience and performers can come and enjoy a big party.

it would rock my socks to have some people interested in doing palm-reading, magic tricks, games, whatever you like to add to the RP.

my impression is that the evils are a bunch of fluffy bunnies. and you goods find innocent evil puppies, and kick them. come on, prove me wrong! *scrambles to flee and hide* OK, now that we've cleared that up and can move on with the constructive discussion... I like Westgate as a neutral city with ...
