RP improving suggestions ( UNITED_PW )

[Elduar]

Well, one thing else the map should really have is an emphasis on farming.. back in the days, you had 1 knight for 10 farmers ( I think ). Right now you have 2 farmers for 100 knights ( I shit you not. )

And, food is underpriced as always. If I were to be a serf, I'd much rather go mine for half an hour, then farm for half an hour and earn 10% of what I could've earned. Of course, farming opens up alot of RP possibilities, but don't forget: we're still on united.

Ahh, the good old times. Just promoting my clanmember here with his video

I also concur with Elduar, the environment simply gives little chances for proper RP. Only places for that are the farming fields(If there are any RPers who dare to farm anymore, that is) or the tavern(bar fights ) and the church.

We really should plan a community event, we who like to RP and do it on the server. Like that satanist cult party.

There's a difference between RP and forced RP.
Normal RP is the RP that people like to participate in.. forced RP will make people hate RPing because they don't want to.

I got an idea if you want RP to flurish once again, people need to stop whinning about randomers and rule breakers, andcome together as a community andrandom those randomers in a good ole fashioned randomer hunt, and be less dependant on admins they're not your mothers

These "lrn 2 rp", "Omg <insert server name> sucks" and blah blah "Help help im being repressed" threads are getting old and do not produce any results. Just stop.

Reading the OP, I rather got the impression that he was largely making balancing suggestions to attempt to make a certain server more enjoyable. RP improving suggestions the thread may be named, but at least some of suggestions are grounded in game-play mechanics.

Yep, and IMO it's quite stubborn of the admins to just downright reject these ideas. Now, it might be that a regular Game Admin has no say in the development of this game, so all the decisions fall on Aldric and Dom. They may just have too much work on their backs right now to take on any new ideas, but then again.. we can't know.

[Dark_Hamlet]

Until then, i'm going to avoid the server altogether... unless I can get my ping below 50.

They are server admins, not the mod developers. They can throw new events, bring new maps, but all the other features must be brought by the mod developers.

Just to let you know, i'm reading trough the topic too. And we are actually seeing what the mindset of players about the server to see what to improve.

To let you know, here the possible way we will discuss in the next meeting.

- Remove all "real" iron on the main land. there will only be "weak" iron which can't be sold.
- Reduce the HP of the silver and gold = Less of gold/Silver
- Reduce the money drop from 25% to 10-15% to reduce the intensive to random and the impact on weak players.
- More admins. (as always )
Discuss.

Important note :
What can be changed :
- The server setting, money drop and commoners/outlaws sytem.
- The server rules.
- The map (given enough time)
- The weapons selections and the global economy of everything.


What can hardly be changed :
- The playerbase mindset
IE : The average player, is greedy, he want to fight as soon as he can, he want the best armors and weapons possible on the map, he want to be superior (and prove he is ) and he doesn't like to follow rules orders and submit to discipline. 
What can't be changed :
- The weapons data ( but some weapons can be removed)
- the mod gameplay
- The english level of a part of the United RP playerbase.

Castrate all male players. Removes the testosterone that causes this type of drive. Problem solved. I am available to do so if you wish.


Also hurrah for increasing the number of "RESET SHIPS MANUALLY PLSSSS I NEED TO GET THERE" "**** YOU ADMINS YOU NOT RESET NOW" in admin chat by 300%. Since mainland will no longer be a viable money making choice. 75% of reset ship requests are from ships that are not crashed or bugged or anything. Just from players who do not want to wait at all and want you to bring back a ship some other players are using.

I do believe i proved the difference.
