The 343

[Fluffyball]

I've came across a talk, in which two sides were discussing about PVP and Roleplay, many times. One side claimed that PVP is all that matter on Discovery server, while the other side claimed that Roleplay is the main aspect of the Official server, since the addition of "RP" in the server name.

The main issue of mine is when someone says "PvP is more important than RP".

My question is: why players are so insistful on placing PvP over roleplay, the pewing over sole purpose of the official server which is roleplaying? I'm not saying that they ignore RP completely, but rather make that an excuse to get "blues". Sure, it's a "space shooter" game, but should not roleplay a priority then?

If you want to shoot something up without much "effort" beforehand, go online for Halo, CS or any other game. Or just go to the Conn. But Disco is mainly roleplay entity, so I don't think low-quality RP to justify pure pewfest should ever be taken into consideration on the RP server, which is DiscoveryGC. Poor RP as an excuse for pewing around? These players are surely better than these "I'm pie-rat, 10millionordai" noobs.

It's like playing Paper RPG for fights and stat-grinding only. This might can pleasant for some, but not for everyone. That's missing the whole point of the idea.


You should remind yourself that being on the roleplay server isn't just about getting blues. It's about immersion being 'inside the created world', that's the purpose of true roleplay.
