Roleplay ?

[pim]

Weapons ARE balanced, most factions have lvl 9 weps...


Newbies could easily learn how to play if players were more careful. With John Smith, I gave 1-2M startups to all CSV newbie I saw, with the promiss they would change their ship quick. I wanted to buy better equipment with this money, but I'm a trader ! Giving my money is not a problem because I'll make more quicly. And I can't stand OORP because of non enough money.
This is a little step, but also a start in RPing... if newbies could buy quickly a neutral ship/equipment, with gift of other players and (I hope) advices, they would understand what RP is and, later, apply it !


Instead of taking a screenshot and bannish them, I just say : "what ! a...... in a ...... flying in ..... ! how strange" and, if they look to be in need, I give advices and (if I can) money. If any experimented player do that, things won't be perfect, but at least newbie problems would be mostly solved... No ?

I think RP should be a natural thing, not "have to", but "enjoy to". I agree that, with PvP-mindeds, it should be hard to comply, but let's try ! In JG, the main word is "fun" : fun in play, fun in RP or fun in PvP, but no negative attitude. no "argh he got me ! I'll kill him next time !", only "dang ! good luck guys, I'm out !" or "He got me, run and let's meet further." I know JG is not the whole game, but I'd like to put some of its good mood in the whole server. We can loose, and stay gentle...

OK for gentle RP, OK for gentle PvP too. What do you prefer ?
Hurk hurk hurk...
