Hi all. Just giving you a bit of information as to how the RP is being sorted on Providence.
RolePlaying is more encouraged than enforced. We have not yet thoroughly tried to encourage people to start just yet, because we're waiting for Tyne to finish the new system, amongst other things.
We have simple rules involving RP. Rules are there for a reason, so, for those of you who do come to Providence; please, don't break them. They're simple, and they DO make sense, if you understand RolePlay. Basically, we want to ensure that people can RP in an environment that isn't filled with idiots going around with names such as TrueHeaT the SpACE COYBOYâ€*â€*☼1ù5☼{bf of malak!!!!lov u}. It's just annoying. So, if you've got a name that we find doens't fit in with the RP theme, then you'll find yourself in our newely made RPjail, that prevents you from unsticking or talking at all, and thus you're forced to reopen Graal in order to change your nick. Annoying, yes, but I'd say it's a pretty good punishment.
You can expect to find many great large or small scale RP events after things get back in order. There is already one planned and in the process of getting ready for when the system is in and everything's working again. I won't give you any info about it yet, though, or it won't be a surprise.
What we're trying to achieve at Providence is a playerworld that people can connect to and not be FORCED to RP, but moreso encouraged in a way that still allows those who want nothing more than to solely RP enjoy themselves. With this in mind, people who want to just level up shitloads and kill monsters and get money and all that fun stuff are still welcome, but we can't promise they'll get along much with the hardcore RPers, unless they do try and join in from time to time. But, as I said, there's no reason for you NOT to.
In fact, our number one goal is to be able to give you all an environment that allows you to play the game with some great RP involved, but even with the help of people who haven't the first CLUE what RP is, and dont' even want to. Basically, so long as your name isn't something stupid, and so long as you don't break loads of other RP rules (explained below), then you're fine. After all, we need plenty of players to fill up our towns and Kingdoms. With this in mind, we need plenty of great RPers to come forth and become Kings. Hint hint.
Well, I think that's the majority of what I wanted to say. Below, now, you'll find some other basic and/or major RP rules:
1) Playerkilling (PK) is
NOT allowed in any town, kingdom, or this type of district. It will be considered an In-Character act of RolePlaying, and the person (ONLY if caught), will be sent to the local jail. If the matter is to be pursued further, the current leader of the vicinity will send the guilty party to a trial. They will either be sent to jail permanently, or executed (reset). Playerkilling OUTSIDE, in large forests, or neutral zones, isn't exactly legal, but cannot be stopped. If you are PKed in a neutral or unprotected zone, then do not expect anyone to help you. It then becomes your personal responsibility to track down your attacker for revenge, if needbe (which makes things fun!).
2) There are many different ways to RP, and many different ways NOT to RP. I will make a nice RP guide for everyone to read soon, but until then.. just think. THINK. Please? Ask people about RP. Ask them how it works, what you should and shouldn't do, etc. If I'm on, ask me. It's not that hard.
3) Umm.. trueheatb is a faigot llROFL
Okay, that's all for now I guess. As far as updates go, expect the system quite soon. Like, within the next week. For now, just try to have fun RPing with the current piece of crap system and baddies. Trust me, it's worth the wait.
As far as some fun things to do: ships work better. They have damage and sink if hit many times by cannons, which are fired from other ships. My future Kingdom, Zadoria (to be renamed Rhynia), has cannons near the docks that you can fire, too. FUN!
bye
