    I don't really think it'd be possible to "dominate" an entire server with one clan.
    Imagine the whole rest of the server banding together to bring down the dominant MOLE imperium for example.

    Why would you possibly ever do that? I'm all for roleplaying, but that is taking it way to far, my friend. And I never said I wanted to fight people with my whole clan.Plus, if I did, what would stop us? Not to brag or anything, but with all of MOLE behind me, it would take a large force to cut us down. I just get why "start your friendship over", when you can easily just play the game. After all, that is what I payed for.

    Edit: I just saw the post right on top of this. Challenge accepted. I would love to see that happen.

    *sigh* Well I tried. I guess read this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Powergaming
    Of course, I am an open minded person and I respect and understand the way you play your games. I just wanted that in return. I'm done trying to explain it.

    Back on the topic though, if they do in the future happen to add water and ships and whatnot, I would totally roleplay being a pirate on Overworld. Get together a group of nautical thieves and plunder trade ships trading between nations on the open sea.

    I don't think you understand what I am saying. The wikipedia post you sent me has nothing to do with what we are talking about. I like all of the smaller features and I don't like to pass them up. You are over here talking about re-making friends with your girlfriend? I just don't understand where you are coming from.

    He is talking about hardcore roleplay. He would like a server where you don't simply take your clan and dominate the world. He wants a server where people who like to roleplay can actually do it without being interrupted by people playing in deathmatch mode. Different people prefer a different extent of roleplay.

    Yes, I understand that as well. I would love that kind of server to. I was simply referring to liberate the communist cities, and defend our castle from the bitter outside world. I do NOT wish to disturb the peaceful. I would also love to roleplay and go in the MOLE's yacht and go pirate hunting! I would love this kind of thing! I hope we settled some things, and I would love to play with you on a server some day.

    Okay. Let me break this down for you because you must not understand true roleplaying (the changing of one's behaviour to assume a role, either unconsciously to fill a social role, or consciously to act out an adopted role.)
    - You start your new character
    - You IN CHARACTERly have only the knowledge your character would have
    - You don't say things like "lol" and "omg wtf wut noobz" because that does not fulfill the role of a person living in a medieval world
    - You can't just automatically know a person's name in the game, just as you do not automatically know a person's name in real life, they must tell you it before you have the IN CHARACTER knowledge
    - If you see someone with a clan tag, for example MOLE, and you have never met them in character, you are not just automatically best friends with them. They are a stranger to you until you build a relationship with them ICly (although of course you are still friends with them out of character)

    You can still play with people you know, just as I am going to play with my girlfriend and my close friends...

    I can't be the only person who has roleplayed like this...I feel like I'm going insane over here

    Thank you, yes. And it's not even necessarily hardcore roleplay I'm after. I'm fine with you wanting to play with your real life friends and whatnot and meeting them in the roleplay (which could be considered metagaming) just as long as it is done in a roleplaying fashion.

    I've roleplayed before, as in, changing behavior to fit a role. But not that far. I have never went as far as not know anyone. I never even thought it was possible to go that extreme with it. What I see as roleplaying is getting together with a bunch of people I know and THEN assuming the role. I've never went as far as that. That's insanity.

    We understand our utter madness. You have reiterated that multiple times so far. Shall we all leave this thread as good friends, sane or not? This is getting silly. And sort of off topic.

    Let us end this argumentatively stupid discussion!

    I agree. We all ave our own ways of gaming, I suppose. Even if your way is a little bit creepy.

    I am sure there will be plenty of rp servers, I for one look forward to joining one, and slowly rising as the evil overlord, with legions of soldiers, and our home-base will make architects cry.

    It will make architects cry because it is so difficult to attack, or because it is so terribly built?

  16. ya, that seems more realistic than just staking claim to wherever the hell you want.

    Well, the random clan will be able to, hopefully, stake a claim to wherever they want, but if a bigger force also claims to control that land, they'll force them off. The more that kind of thing is managed by the players and not some automated system, the better, at least for RP servers.

    It's funny, isn't it? Personally, I'm sure MM and Geti have absolutely no idea what kind of game they are developing, and are therefore doing it the wrong way. -.-
    Captain, the sarcasm meters are rising!
