who is it?

I want to ask those who are over the age of 18+ or have grown out of their childhood phase and move onto adulthood on how they keep their childlike spark and creative mind when it comes to Roleplaying and Storybuilding as a whole.

I've noticed as the years have gone on that my ability to RP has diminished beyond what it used to be. I'm still a new player on this server, but parts of me wishes that I came here much sooner to be apart of it when I was creative enough to do unique and bright things with my characters. In the past I have participated in and been a major part in many peoples roleplaying adventures, actually shifting the lore to drastic measures because of my characters actions. Characters I have written before were deep in lore, character development, and my characters deaths made people genuinely sad. I've been everything from a god to a peasant, a dictator to a soldier, to running business empires and hustling my ass off to make ends meet. 

Yet there is a part of me that seems to have completely lost my creative side. Its not that I don't want to roleplay, but the part of me that created these things feels faint and distant. Like a part of my creative and young mind has since been lost in time, in transation, and to be truthfully honest? I'm scared. (Regardless of how cheesy it sounds.)

Growing up is part of life, but I'd like to hold-onto to my childhood a bit longer before I have to move on. Spread me your advice, so I can too experience what I used to so long ago.

Make minas more valuable and gained through a more roleplay based market system using NPCs and make resources somewhat rare for nations to spur trade

I think this is the best way to go. Everyone should have to Roleplay stuff, its a ROLEPLAY server, not an RPG game where I slay monsters or grind hours to get hella minas only to go spend it on roleplay items and stuff.

So the difference is, in both 1.8 and 1.9 pvp the better pvper almost always wins, but in 1.8 pvp the shit pvper can actually do damage so he's not totally worthless in teamfights, whereas he is in 1.9.

 

idk how you separate more beginner friendly from easier to train anyway. You don't care if your footmen become pro-pvpers who get screenshared 10x a day to see if they aren't hacking because they're just that good. You just want them to be able to carry their weight in teamfights so you don't get crushed by bandits with 1/4 your numbers.

Your avoiding what I'm saying. I'll say it again, 1.9 PVP is much easier to teach then 1.8 PVP. Regardless if the shit PVP player in 1.8 deals damage, they will never be good enough to kill without training, same with 1.9. Correct me if I'm wrong, but are you implying that the shit players are only good for knocking down a couple of hearts before dying? Because if so, thats a terrible mentality.

Also if you say you want your footman to be able to carry their weight, what PVP version would be easier for them to carry their weight in? Cause its sure as hell not 1.8 pvp where they are practically soaring the skys like a plane when gettting combo'd.

Tbf james they seem to have joined in January, so it's understandable, they haven't really been involved in a warclaim, let alone a warclaim with 1.8 pvp last map.

Yeah I've never been apart of any mass battles, but theres no way it takes that long. If Minecraft wars are anything like other games, it comes down to Wolfpacking and Isolation, killing them one by one is a good strategy. If it was me commanding the battle, I'd have them wiped clean (with a bit of practice of course, im not pro at minecraft war strategies lol)

This is just totally untrue. Anyone can spam click a mouse, and no matter how bad your aim is, you're gonna get some hits in and do some damage. In 1.9, if you're a novice or just significantly worse than you're opponent, you're not getting a single hit in.

This can also be said about 1.8 pvp too. If you are a novice and just significantly worse then your opponent, even if you get a few hits in, you won't win. And while its true that 1.8 PVP is technically more beginner friendly, to become pro at 1.8 paves a much harder path then becoming pro at 1.9 PVP. I never said 1.9 was beginner friendly, but that its easier to train someone and better for new players to learn.

Furthermore those I have fought on the server (who were worse then me) using 1.9 PVP still got hits in. And its much easier to train someone to be better at 1.9 PVP(Im sorry to my friend Aimy but they ass at PVP ong) because it takes less physical skill and more mental skill. I have no clue how to jitter click or buttefly click and I sure as hell dont want to learn.

BUT in return swap back to 1.8 pvp so we stop dying of old age, arthritis, and the embarrassment of telling our doctors we got carpal tunnel from fighting for the glory of House Novellen.

1.8 PVP is old and outdated, hardly anyone uses it anymore besides people who are already good at 1.8 PVP (since all newer versions past 1.9 utilize it)

Plus 1.9 PVP is easier to teach and better for new players. The only people who want 1.8 PVP are those who are already good at it.

Video to shed some light:

Within the streets of the grand city of Norland comes a new dawn of art that has yet to be seen in the world of Almaris.

Depicting several areas of a location, Armarius's Paintings are meant to be seen as a storyline, a visual, and less a wall of dyed paper.
For those who seek to visit and visualize themselves, they can come to Edvard 2, nearest to the back of the tavern or the Tianrui Teahouse!
