Roleplay

[Kal-el]

I started on this server back in September 08. As it would traded starting out I always ran into people. Even started convoying with others and that is how I met Wayfarer. That has all changed. You do not see that anymore. At least I do not.

People have "pooled" into four systems. New York, Gamma, New Berlin, and New Tokyo. Yes other still move around, but these are the systems where people are "hanging out". Bretonia is like a ghost town. When I am on there is hardly anyone there ever. It used to be a happening place, but like I said, maybe it is only when I am on.

Why am I saying all this. People say trading is boring. No RP opportunities. I say that is bull. Here is a personal example.

I went to Gamma with a cargo of food for the people of Crete. I announced I was in the system to the Corsairs that were present. Upon arriving at Crete there were two Corsairs and one gave me permission to dock. I wanted to create RP so I suggested (as an act of kindness and to be honorable) I could transfer the cargo to their ships so THEY could distribute the cargo to their people. You know the response I received?

Just dock sell the cargo and be on your way. Maybe that was there way to RP I do not know, but why did they not do more to RP with me? Who knows. I guess my point is this, people have congregated to certain areas of Sirius and are more willing to PvP then RP. They may RP for awile but it is only a formality to getting to the fighting. Unless someone comes to "their neck of the woods" some do not get out amongst others to see what is going on.

Trading is all that you make it. You can have solitude or you can engage others as you encounter them. If you are one to stay in a system and never get out you may want to start.

Just a thought.
