This is a Roleplay Server

[Segalion]

Read the title of the thread.

As you have noticed, your characters receive RP xp every 15 minutes. From now on, DMs will start docking the equivalent for excessive OOC chat in-game.

A few of you will receive a PM during the weekend concerning this.

A friendly bump here.

As people have noticed, the server is often full at peak time, and a few people have told me they have been having trouble logging in. If you are playing and suddenly need to go AFK, please be respectful of your fellow players and log out completely from the server, to give a chance to somebody else to log in.

We are as well getting regular reports, often about the few same players, of people causing trouble, either by acting in an OOC manner, entering CvC without any reason, coming up with some RP stories that are completely disregarding the lore, acting like this is simply an action server, or simply because they are here to stir trouble and give frustration to both the player base and the staff.

Myths of Atalan is a Roleplay Server. Any player treating it simply like an action server, with the simple goal of speeding their way up the experience ladder with very little RP may be asked to go play somewhere else, on a server that will be more suitable for them.

Rules of offer and demand apply here. We won't hesitate now to block the troublemakers from playing here, so that players who play fair and respect their fellow gamers can have an easier access to the server. If you are one of these players that find himself regularly being lectured by a DM because of an attitude problem, then be aware that the next time will likely be your last.

For all the other players that play fair and are here to have some fun with others, and roleplay their character as best as they can, then thank you. The staff and every contributors  have spent their energies making this persistent world for you.

I think it's time to give this thread another bump.

This is a Roleplay Server. By playing here, you are expected to show good quality in your roleplay.

--> Roleplaying means that you do not ignore people when they try to start a conversation with you.

--> Roleplaying means that you do not just hang AFK at the Otter

--> Roleplaying means that you do not just hang at the Otter and type in a generic sentence every 10 minutes to get some XP

--> Roleplaying means that when you are hunting, you talk instead of just killing stuff.

--> Please be respectful of new players and make an effort to bring them into the story. That means, if you see them, do not treat them like they're second-class players. We have received feedback from new players that veterans of the server make little effort regarding this. Please note that the DMs regularly log on their own characters under different accounts and have observed this, the same as new players have.

--> Please just keep in mind that roleplaying is usually more fun for everybody when the environment remains immersive.

*Friendly and General Bump for the greater good*

I would welcome all new players and at the same time remind everybody that Myths of Atalan is a roleplay server. If roleplay is a new concept for you, or you do not understand everything about it, do not hesitate to ask questions, either to DMs, on the forums or even to players in-game. Everybody will be happy to help you or even teach you how to roleplay properly.

I would also point veterans of the server to the post just above that one. I have seen many examples of players going out of their way to help newcomers, and I greatly thank you for that. However, I have seen as well a few case of elitism and some high levels refusing to interact with new players due to the fact that they are "low levels". Remember that the admins, the DMs and the staff in general often make new characters under a secret identity. The new players you see in front of you could be me or any other. You never know!

Hey, we all know that we love having characters that are awesome.
For many people, that can mean builds that are awesome.
However, this is an RP SERVER first. And we all want to have fun.
Pestering the staff about mechanics changes, in any form, does not lead to fun.
It will lead to staff burnout. Particularly when responses have already been made elsewhere or to another person about the same issue/idea/concern/suggestion.

We are all volunteers.
We all have limited time to play/DM/Dev/Map/write/and sometimes every single one of those all at once.

Let's relax on all the topics and PMs about suggested changes, and let the team get the work done that we would all love to appreciate in game.
