[QUOTE="Freak of Nurture, post: 3860018, member: 56496"] Sounds like my last campaign a couple years ago. We played nearly every week for a couple years and I tried many times to get them be creative beyond combat. They had no interest in my campaign world full of plots and NPCs with secrets and agendas. They just waited around for the next adventure hook to show up, and had no lives or friends in the world. They literally just sat in their rooms between adventures. Finally I got fed up with it and said, "A week passes, do you guys do anything?" The reply was "Nope". "OK, another week passes; do you do anything?". "Nope". "A month passes. Do you do anything?" "Nope" again. This went on a few more times and I was ready to start jumping to years when a newer player decided to start making potions or something. Not long after that I had to end the campaign and told them they would probably have more fun playing EQ or something (the only MMORPG I had experience with). A year or so later I heard they were all playing WOW together... Some people just don't get it and think that just playing the game for combat is roleplaying. I am firmly in the "No gaming is better than bad gaming" camp these days and might never get a chance to actually play a good game again since I don't play the latest edition. [/QUOTE]
