I see that this community was built around pvp for the fighting, with rp options. So I now understand why there is such a strong love for pvp here. I guess I'm just an old rp purest, but most the point a lot of you bring up don't make sense to me this being an rp server. The server should relabel itself as an rp/pvp server. That way it gives a truer vibe of what it is. It's not a bad thing the server is that way, don't take what I'm saying as dissing the server. It's just not a pure rp server is all, and should be labeled as such. Also for those of you who say it makes fights go back faster, and stops pg. I say this. If you were into rp fully you wouldn't see a long rp fight as a chore. You would see it as a way to fully show your rp creativity. Pg also wouldn't happen as much as it does in said fights if the community was built around rp fully. Here is why. The vet players would be doing things like training the newer players how to fight in rp. They would be in rp showing them what they can, and can't be doing. There would be alot more teaching going on. Something I really only see from the mages on this server. Imagine if all aspects of the server did these sorts of things. Everyone's rp would become better. That is a fact. When good vets teach how to do things, then everyone gets better. But the server would have to go through a big change, that I know most of you wouldn't want to do. The reason being most of you are only casual rpers. And that's fine. There is nothing wrong with that. This server was built for that sorta crowd. Which tells me this might not be the best place for me. Hell with the younger age range minecraft servers normally carry, I am slowly realizing I won't find the style rp crowd I want here. Which sucks cause as a game this is the best option for rp, cause it gives room for the most options in creativity. MMO's don't normally have entire servers who are only for rpers, so most of the crowd you get isn't there for rp. So you end up with the same problem sort of. Anyway sorry for going so off topic in this post. Glad to hear from everyone who posted.

My group of friends, and myself since joining back close to a month ago now have encountered more the the pvp type people, than rp. In fact if you take events that were rp fights out of it, then pvp fights happen about 4-1. That's just what the group of close to 15 of us noticed anyway. Though most of them have since left too. Mostly cause trolling, but 2 left cause the pvp default rule. Though I'm getting off topic too now lol.

That is why I added the rp with rolls option. That will keep people from pging, and having to revoke VA's. It will also stop the crazy things where people come in shouting this is a raid pvp default, and then counting down to fight. Or when someone is rp fighting, and suddenly the other person has to go, and they're like pvp default. Both things to me are worse for the server. Worse cause they don't involve what the server is built around, that being rp. I've heard some of the vet players in TS saying the server is dying. I wonder have they been saying this since the pvp default rule was made? Maybe the rule is running off people who actually hate pvp. Sure there will be alot of people saying pvp is fun, but that's why they make pvp servers. For those people. I think turning to pvp as a default rule on an rp server is asking for a death wish for the server. Maybe I'm wrong, but as far as I know. The people who love rp aren't huge fans of pvp. Maybe in this community that might be the case, but that's yet to be seen.

Sorry but what you just said doesn't make sense. You said this is not a rp server, then right after said it's an rp-/rp/g server. What? Regardless, rp is still done here. Also rpg or rp doesn't mean pvp. Rpg just means there are single player aspects, like quests. Skyrim is an rpg to give an example, and there is no pvp there.

The red line makes me wonder though. Was that the best choice? I'll bet you don't have any great memories like you did from then, now that pvp is default. You might have some, but I bet the ones when rp was default were better, more treasured memories.

Yes that could be great, but that system would be very much rp default. I hate rolls, but would take that system over pvp default any day. Then it's all rp still which I love. That's why I play rp servers. To rp, not pvp. Great suggestion though. Actually I think I am going to add that as an option in the pole.

Someone shouldn't have to live with, and rp at one select spot to have rp default, on an rp server. That answer just forces people to play how others want them to play.

What reason is that? I do not know the reason it's set to default on a rp server. If you mean cause people rage with pg during rp fights, then that's not a good solution. Pvp should only be turned to if both sides are whining alot, and a mod has to come break it up.

When I first joined this server I wondered about how I would like the pvp default rule. Being a lover of rp, so far I'm not a fan. First reason it's not good in my opinion is that this is a rp server. People come here to rp. Making a default pvp rule that kills rp in it's tracks concerning, I'd say around 25% of the things people do on the server. That doesn't make a lot of sense to me. This is not a pvp server is why it doesn't make sense to me. Reason number 2 I dislike it. Not everyone's internet is equal. Nor are everyone's computers for that matter. Because of this it makes pvp for some really not fair at all. Being an rp server where the server tries to be balanced, and fair for /all/ who play. This rule again doesn't make sense to me. After all they did just totally redo magic to make things more fair. I see the pvp default as big a problem for those people listed in my second reason. Now I understand that there are times when pvp is needed. Like during wars. A war wouldn't be able to even be done in rp with the player base this server holds. Not unless of coarse every single person was a speed reader. But if there are less than 6 total people in the fight, it should be rp default. At least when there are that many people sometimes the laggy people, or those with lesser computers have a chance sometimes. As sometimes their allies with be someone with a better connection. So I wonder what everyone else thinks. Do you agree? Or do you prefer the pvp? Those of you who do though let me ask you this. Do you have great connections? Or due you have lag issues a lot? I'm betting on the former. I my opinion most of the people with the better connections, are the main group that like pvp. I doubt anyone who has lag issues prefers the pvp default. So leave your comments, and opinions on this. I'd like to hear them. Please though, no flaming or trolling each other, or the topic. Oh also please add why you choose your vote.

Dark elves > Wraith. Lol. No it was a great rp event. Very funny.

Both being as young as they are it lead to many failures though. Eventually they gave into a life of simple small time raiding of slavers. Mostly failed attempts in that too though.
