I didn't ask for YOUR opinion. You've made it clear that you're against my project so why do I care what you have to say? You're working on Lance's project and this isn't the place to give your opinion on my server. This is a thread I created to inform people of job positions available. If I said "and please give me your opinions on my server, thanks" then I could understand why you'd post. You've made it pretty clear that you aren't going to be my "clinetelé".
Roleplaying is exactly as the name suggests. You play a role. Every server on Graal is pretty much considered roleplaying. You have a character that you dress up and modify the appearance of... you play the role of that character. Even in a first person shooter, you're playing the role of whatever person you're controlling.
I believe you see "roleplaying" as some sort of thing you've pieced together from playing Graal. You can roleplay without speaking in medieval tongue. You can roleplay without kings. You can roleplay without involving politics. I've always hated Graal RP because one group of people molds it into some specific thing and that is just stupid.
My server HEAVILY involves roleplaying. I'm incorporating roleplaying aspects into nearly everything. The custom character system alone is leaps and bounds beyond the original system as far as roleplay is concerned. You can't just set your head and body at any given time anymore. You play the role of the character you build. The clothing you wear you had to obtain for yourself. The jobs you do depend on what you're most interested in. You even get a house to live in and change to your liking.
ALL OF THAT IS ROLEPLAYING. Just not in the form that you're familiar with, apparently. Even selling stuff in the market is a form of roleplay. You don't have to be like "good day sire!" to roleplay. Although I can see how speaking in a certain tongue would help immerse you better. It's not all there is to roleplaying. The npc king idea I have will not destroy roleplaying. In fact, I think it will encourage MORE people to roleplay. You have no real clue as to what I have in store for roleplaying. You just jump to conclusions and assume I'm not interested in RP at all.

Now you're the one who is making woefully inaccurate assumptions about MY roleplaying. Considering that I'm one of the people who's opposed using Yon Crappy Archaic English when it dosen't fit the setting of your character. As my own little anecdote pointed out, you could take any random piece of crap, phrase it in Olde English, and all you get is a less legible piece of crap.
As for Roleplaying; I disagree. There's a difference between Playing a Character and Roleplaying a Character, and I think anyone that's played a video game where you can change clothing and those who have acted as a character would (be it DnD, chat, LARP, Graal, etc) can tell you the intrinsic difference. "OMG I CAN CHANGE THE COLOR OF MY PANTS" is not Roleplaying. Feeling for your character as a secondary persona or a finely crafted story is.
And as for this being the place; I think this is EXACTLY the place. Let's talk about YOUR failure to comprehend words, shall we?

This isn't Bomy Island's private forum. This is 2k1's; and I won't begrudge that it should be here. But I won't just let you say that it's not the place of the general public in an open forum to address concerns with plans proposed.
