Roleplay

[DataPhreak]

I think it is not so bad. Most of oorp talks, which you can see, are in Pensylwania and New York, because of there are many new people.
I tell you one reason (there is more of course) why many people don't come to forum and they look like bad RPers on the server - it is the language.

There is many people from non English countries, they want to play Freelancer with other people but theirs language is not so good to talk or read freely. I know English is obligatory here and you can say : don't play here if you can't talk. I know you can say this, and I accept. But every who loves this game, don't give up so easy.

Most of RP encounters are in a little stressful situations; a pirate stops you with a missile and he asks you about something(setmsg), sometimes two of them at a time, you have to read, to understand well, and write answer, but the pirate is not patient and nice, and he asks you again with threat, you want RP with him, to say something interesting, but when you see in the chat: 10, 9, 8... all what you can say it is : ok;
or you are trying to run; there is no time to write something with no errors and with proper grammar.

More of that. If you meet Molly (but not only), he talks strange language, and most of what he says, you can't understand. I know this is a part of RP and this is his language. It is shame for me, because I see he is trying to be nice, but I don't know what to answer because I don't understand the question. In the end you can only say: "OK" or "Thanks".

I am trying to read forum. Half of time that I can spend in this game, I read forum. But there is a part of posts I don't understand what the author wants to say. I am trying to say something, sometimes, but I know probably you don't understand what I wanted to say. I was invited to join some clans, I refused, because I know there is necessary to good communicate. I can't ensure it. so, I have to play alone.

It is not only about me. Many times I hang my vessel in space to listen what people are talking about. I have one char (my bank), he has max rank level (I have big money but I don't have any cap ship, and I don't want to have), I play him sometimes. I am surprised how many people PM me and asking questions which I thought are obvious.

I read some outside forums of clans which play here, and I see people have problems with understand all the rules and conventions. Some rules are very complicated. They are surprised that they were banned or someone gave them a warning.
Many people read forum as guest, they don't logon, because they don't feel the need to write anything or they simply cannot write because of language. Why to write anything if you post would be ignored because of it is not understandable for others.

I am not complaining anything, I accept things as they are, I am only trying to set one of the reasons, why some people RP could look bad, and why some people don't register on the forum.

I hope that at least some part of this is understandable for you.

Dude, if I would totally start speaking another language when I got pirated if I were in you. Also, I would totally hang out with you in the game. Problems understanding because of different languages make for fun roleplay situations.
