well lotc isn't an mmorpg (or at least not yet)

I'm only like half-way through, but a lot of this seems to not really apply to LotC, just because it's a different medium than MMO's, closer aligned to Second Life (which does get mentioned in the article, just doesn't seem to be the focus). For example, I don't think many people would play a female character on LotC to get an advantage in mechanics. People who play LotC for the mechanics side mainly generally are the same people who stigmatize playing female characters as a male irl. Not that there are many of those people.

'In contrast to Second Life, which is a typical virtual venue where one represents their offline self as an avatar, we assumed that avatars might be used as tools for game play under gender-swapped context.'

'Finally, there may be sociocultural differences in the antecedents and consequences of gender swapping. This study used a South Korean sample, but the sociocultural factors might yield different results in different cultures.'

But it did bring up some interesting thoughts that applied to something like LotC, like the benefits thing. Do female characters get more attention or people trying to roleplay with them, in a sense a benefit? I think so.

It'd be cool to see a study focused more on Second Life, or even just any 'hardcore roleplaying' game.

No.

Better question is where to read the tythus fanfics.

Better safe than sorry is right. Channel 13 News was just talking about this change in Tythus LTD's privacy policy. Better safe than sorry.

everyone that plays lotc

Very helpful, thanks bruh

Nah, man. 'Edgies' aren't gone as much as they're relocated and keeping low profile to avoid warclaims and PvP in general. Take a stroll around the map, with just monkbread, and try to find a new place to squeeze in.

That's a good idea, it's likely that ive been looking in Oren for too long

I don't want to be an edgy, I want edgies to kill me

Cool. We have an actual world now for people to not rp in. Can't say I've been a first hand witness, but how does this not deter from rp? When do we decide there's too much OOC?

Not starting a fight here, seriously, explain it to me. Explain why an rp server that takes place strictly in rp isn't more immersive.

Generally speaking no one wants to roleplay a character who's soul purpose is to live in a clay pit stacking bricks.

muh immersion

Whoever came up with the idea of an OOC resource island needs to be slapped in the face.

Actually, Cyindi, I think you should be slapped. Many, many times.

didn't connect the teutonic order with germany.. cuz..

Don't worry aron, the Teutonic Order in Aegis was meant to be closer to the Rurikid culture rather than the Holy Roman Empire tbh.

Waldenian

then I shall make numbers up!

1 adunian = 10,000 men

1 benpowell987 = 10,000 adunians

Your stupid questions are.

Are what?
