Veno, if someone saying "You suck at fighting" is going to upset you, you really have to step back a little. I would hope someone would say it that well to you. You're going to have to lower your standards a little bit because you'll probably have to tolerate more than "You suck at fighting".
RP all you wish but you'll have to find a way to explain events because events were alot of fun, simply put they are just a good time. Personally I don't think you can ask the staff to make sure you aren't fighting alongside enemies and such things when you're at an event. Assume it is a task set forth by the Gods and you and your enemies must set aside differences for a short while for divine goals are higher than your human squabbles. I think there are certain times its safe to simply just have a good time OOC. Perhaps not everyone sees it that way. Either way you have to realize this is a PvP and RP shard, you can't expect it to be the same as an RP only shard.
All I'm saying is that if you want the PvPers to make an effort not to ruin your RP, you'll have to compromise a bit and learn to tolerate them as well.
I just used the sentence to make a point. That particular one isnt bad i just couldnt come up with something better while i was typing :p I needed something that was on the line between taunting/harassment.
About the events: You may have misunderstood me. I love all events! My point was that roleplay events have to make sense in a particular way to call them that. Cant say that battlechess is rp'ish imo. Maybe its just me but the way i think of rp events is quests or monster attacks on towns or something like that.
Tourneys are prolly the least rp'ish i can think of but i like to watch them anyway. I sucked to much to bother joining them usually but i still came to show my support and because they are a good chance to meet other players without being in a normal situation like at a bank/hangout. They are open ooc events for me where few if any stay ic. Like you said, they are just good fun without the hazzle.
Im not trying to make this a forced rp shard even though it may seem like it. I made this thread because i had questions and because i wanted all players who hang at the forums to notice and maybe adopt the IN way of rp.
Which is casual and relaxed where people do what they want when they want but still respect all players enough to not ruin their way of having fun.
We had our share of idiots on IN and we dealed with them there. We will do the same here
