Embargoes

[Laowai]

I can see the point Xoria has made, but either scenario works for me - Role Play isn't static, i find opportunities for Role Play in the unexpected and the unfortunate as well as that which is opposite.

And i would question the effectiveness of these embargoes at any rate - They are hardly the all encompassing Role Play killers that they are being made out to be here.
I have smuggled artifacts through Brettonia and Liberty so often now without being stopped im taking it for granted that i wont be. similarly, trading from Rhienland into Liberty - i have never been stopped, not ever. Trading from Brettonia through the Tau's to Kusari i have been stopped only once.. and thats in... 5 months? I knew the embargoes were there and went anyway.
Even at peak times, 195 players online or thereabouts i am almost never stopped - and i wasn't even flying above the plane.

Had i been caught, i would have enjoyed the chance to Role Play - however, i wasn't caught and carried on my merry way.

I agree that Role Play opportunities should be encouraged wherever they are able, but even with embargoes - people just need to use their imagination a little and remember that the focus of this server is Role play first, not shooting.....
