Message: <blockquote data-quote="Ssussunriyh" data-source="post: 2559734">This, I think, is the crux of the problem.In my not-so-humble opinion, some of the most visible evil characters are played badly. We've all seen the newbies and/or younger players loudly proclaim their new character to be His Royal Unholy Badness and then proceed to go on a rampage of mindless destruction, for no other reason than the inadequate justification "I'm evil, so there!" This is flatly annoying and disruptive to others trying to play out their own carefully-planned storylines.They say the squeaky wheel gets the grease. However, it's equally true that if the wheel continues its irritating squeal even after being greased, it gets removed, discarded, and replaced with one that does its thing quietly.Evil doesn't automatically mean Megalomaniacal Chaotic Stupid. An evil character can like certain people and behave in a friendly and courteous manner towards them. Evil isn't always raging and ravaging, or being malevolent purely for shock value. Sometimes it's quietly plotting and manipulating while masquerading as good. And sometimes evil is just cold, callous, and indifferent, with no agenda whatsoever.</blockquote>
