Here's the dilemma with character age:

You're going to work up the ranks in an year or so real life time. By that time (considering 4.86's speed) there's kinda no chance to pass more then 1-2 years ingame wise. So for 1-2 years of your character's lifetime he'll move from private to somewhere in mid or even high command.

And here's the problem, I know for a General/Admiral/Manofextremesergeanttothemax you'd need to be older. But if I want my Admiral to be over 40 when he earns that title, he'll probably start as 39-38 as private/recruit/rookie. Unless of course I change the age unrealistically with each promotion or the storyline actually moves.

I actually laughed there. Nice one sir.

An nope. I'd go through Jeremy's RP, but why bother anymore.

If sex ends one's virginity,


does that mean RP ends one's PvP?

' Wrote:I'm done arguing with you. Blindfolded you may be.

I've played this game. I've had situations you probably fail to see. Thus, I conclude our interaction, without further replies to your own replies.

I stand by my statement pirates are for most part people, who are lazy to trade and charge insane amount of cash, much like based on your calculations. A note - id never pay that much. I got respawn button.

All I have to say.

What is extremely humorous to me is that nowhere in my statements do I talk about money outside a pretense to undergo Roleplay. Meanwhile, you continue to talk about money as something Roleplay is complimentary to. In the same vein, you accuse pirates of being greedy and wanting money, while preaching that trader's profits should be the primary concern of the interaction. It's hilarious to me because the hypocrisy is so readily apparent.

I know it's very hard to practice what you preach, but both sides must realize that money isn't what is important about the situation. What is important is Roleplay. Both traders and pirates should realize that no matter what is being charged, no matter how the trader responds, no matter how the pirate responds to the response, what is important is the interaction which happens. Just because someone charges a lot does not mean he has not considered Roleplay, while just because someone runs does not mean he has not considered Roleplay either. It's a Roleplay choice which has Roleplay consequences. This is what is important.

Eh. I've said it before and I'll say it again. Both pirates and traders are equally to blame for the issue as people call it regarding the pirate/trader interaction. If both sides would quit thinking that they are the only ones right, quit being greedy, remember it is a game, and that there is another player on the other end we wouldn't really have an issue. Since that won't happen, we'll continue to have these topics. :sleep:

Very well said. I wish more people could see it that way.

Daedric hit the nail on the head. And yes, roleplay does matter, however, to what degree, is entirely dependant on you.
