[QUOTE="Ruthia, post: 3214580, member: 34811"] I too, also have to agree with Imreis, and a bit with Amet. Many many of these problems stem not from the characters being played but the players behind the characters. W all have a tendancy to click with just "Our" group of friends, and many times end up playing with "Only" them. Which I'm not sure if anyone has noticed this yet but with fewer and fewer people having time to RP now at days, If you want to get any story line done your going to have to open it up a bit. As for those people who think you HAVE to follow D&D rules, well then I guess people like me would never get RP'd with then would we? I don't know a lick of D&D, have never played as I live in a rural area where people just don't do that stuff. So even though I have been RPing my FreeForm characters for 6 years now am I to be ignored because I don't fit in some clique? And this problem isn't just happening to new players and discouraging them from staying with this, but it's happening to older players to and discouraging them from continueing onsight. I mean honestly I can't blame them either, I've been tempted to live myself on many occasions. But also, I'm not saying theres anything WRONG with being picky about who you RP with. There are certain characters out there that just wouldn't fit in certain storylines. Like lets say for instance, Rajak all the sudden becoming a loving father. Now yes Maybe in some far universe it might happen, but honestly anyone who's RP'd with Rajak knows not to expect it anytime soon. Or a storyline that involves Bhyrn becoming a baker......We ALL know how that would turn out ;) O.O But then again, that kind of pickiness is very much to be expected. Also on a side note. People who are blacklisting other players becuase the play characters that do fit the rules. I'd be carefully. Just because the characters you know of don't fit the rules.....doesn't mean they don't have some that do..... My Two Sense in this crazy world. Ruthia. [/QUOTE]
