I'll try not to make this a rant.

But so far im just not getting the RP here.

I haven't gotten involved in any DM events or snippets at all. I walked around Cordor Central for an hour RPing to myself and trying to get involved and then I hear the shout that its over.

The only thing I see people do is hunt monsters and be ass holes in Bendir Dale.


I hear shouts all the time in game.. i constantly ask if I could be involved or where the event is happening but with no response at all. Where are all these things happening at? I go back and forth between cordor and bendir sometimes walk the roads. Where do I go for all this RP? What do I have to do to get involved? I mean.. is there a special place these things happen at? Am I missing something here?

I have a great character and I am really into him.

I'm just getting tired of RPing about pointless stuff in town and killing monsters all the time. I kind of want to develop my character :D

Well...I would suggest reading the actual ongoing events in the DM events. It should give you the idea where the actual events are taking place. Also try to get involved in a faction roleplay, it could help you.

Then say nothing next time? As a note "bullshit" that does happen in the Dale is IC and usually is justified so there is no OOC conniving.

So you refuse to help from a TRUE observation? Not sure if I wanted your help anyway if your going to be like that. It wasn't a shot at the players, its a fact.

Okay, a quick observation. From another post in another thread, I see you play Trip. I think finding RP with him is hard because from the limited interaction with him I had, he is very anti-social. That in itself will push people away most times.

I tried playing a social character before and I got about the same amount of reaction. I thought it was him so I switched to the opposite. Now I think it may just be me.

After watching some things on the other screen, calling someone an "ignorant whore" thirty seconds into meeting them for no justifiable reason, isn't likely to get you included into a lot of RP. Just saying.

I think one of the challenges with Trip is that he's a monstrous race... As someone that plays a kobold and a surface drow, I can tell you it's really not easy to get people to like you, let alone trust you. But that's really part of the fun being a monstrous race, really.

My suggestion is just keep at it and try not to be discouraged. The initial distrust/suspicion/complete and utter hatred is a given. You can either prove the people wrong by persevering and rising above their pettiness, or join the horde of evil players who are really active at the moment.

Thats good advice. Thank you. I'll keep at it. I like this server and I dont wish to leave.


And as I said this isn't Trip specifically, it is to all my characters who all I have different personalities. Which I think it may be something that I am doing wrong or perhaps missing something important here.
