good old days

Dublin golden fever

I almost crushed my nose facepalming this. Good joke is just too good. For anyone too young, Dublin gave New-York run for its money back in .85. EDIT: so did Gamma. Not saying it was bad thing though.

If you had an RP led activity, people would feel there was a long term goal. As it stood, that had disappeared into the short term goal of killing the guy infront of you. That's great for a modern shooter. For an ageing game.....

Just how many of you actually used the PvP server back in the day?
It was always sparsely populated. The RP server always full. That's not supposition. That's reality.
When it was 32 players and then 64 and then...well, you get the rest. The numbers kept growing. The server was inundated with players. People couldn't log on for hours. Then the 'role' disappeared and so have the numbers. The 'character' became unimportant, the skill became the be all and end all. This alienated a lot of players because everyone has an imagination and then they had the freedom to express it, not everyone is an uber pilot.

This was compounded by the inability of the dev team to listen to well presented discussion which, whilst it affected main stream factions to a lesser degree, screwed smaller groups or granted them uber tech.

Whether you like PvP, RP or a combination of the two, the fact remains that the appeal of this has dwindled.
I for one sincerely hope that changes because it was, despite my grumblings, quite good here.

So, so true. Don't look at my join date, I've been here for at least 2 years before registering. Yes, I was one of those Guest readers. Thing is, it was fun to read. And play. I tottaly agree with what you said. Still, I can't even imagine how would it feel to be here for so long and see it crumble down.

To anyone who think RP is too 'childish':
I challenge you, give me 5 reasons why RP is more childish than WoW/CoD/WoT. It would be very interesting to hear your answer.

When "roleplay" around you seems to be diminishing... all you can do is be a new beacon of roleplay to light up everyone else's interactions.
