Shattered Kingdoms

You know, I've watched the tone of your posts in this thread fill gradually with tears, until this one where it literally spills over my screen and threatens to short out my monitor. You need a game where you can hit reload or continue and start off with all your gear. Like Super Mario Brothers, which I suggest to you as a game more up your alley.

I've had non-pk characters and every so often they still get pk'd, and for paper thin reasons. So what? It's part of the game. Sometimes it seems weak and lame when it happens but it's a factor of the game. Swallow it, and cry yourself to sleep if you have to, but for the love of all that is good and right stop crying on the forums.

One more thing:



What the hell is wrong with you? What rock have you been living under for the last twenty-plus years? People get ganked (yeah, in real life where 1 out of every 3 active characters CAN'T just type c res name and undo it) ALL THE TIME over "nice clothes." We're talking a jacket, or shoes, or a pair of bloody jeans.

It's so bloody common that it barely raises an eyebrow when it comes up on the news. Hell, in the late 80s, it was rare to go two days running without hearing about someone getting swarmed and knifed to death for a leather coat. And this was in TORONTO ONTARIO, where violent crime was a ridiculously low statistic at the time. Those crimes were imitations of what was happening in New York, Los Angeles, Fort Lauderdale, Atlanta, Charlotte, etc. Hell, it was making news in NASHVILLE, and no news comes out of there that doesn't involve a singer or pro wrestler.

Grow the hell up. In real life, where death is final, people get killed every single day for "nice clothes" (sometimes literally, frequently for some reason just as petty and worthless to anyone with half a brain). In SK, where death is a momentary set back, it happens barely more frequently.

Seriously. Dudes will stab you for your Reeboks.

The only difference is in SK, those Reeboks make you fly. Or that jacket makes you faster, stronger, and smarter. Or those pants will ward you from harmful MAGICKZ :O I think you've been around long enough to realize this. In an RPG fantasy world, clothing is an extremely valuable commodity. Quite possibly the most valuable. And not because it "matches," unless we're talking about sets in Diablo 2. So to call your ganking unrealistic, particularly by -evil characters- who you place yourself continually in the presence of, is just absurd.

Caring only about having a "matching set" (holy crap, could you be more of a female?!) is just as superficial as caring about having the phattest loot. If you're all about RP then you shouldn't care too much about it. It shouldn't rage you out, at the very least. And getting back from the river is easy as pie, so you can't complain about that either. Nobody is ganking you into the dirt.

Killing someone for elite lewt, is to kill someone for an OOC reason. The only reason you took the lewt is so that your char's stats will be better.

Curse plz

There are very few items in SK that are RP orientated and one of them get destroyed recently.

I find it interesting that killing for lewt is now a valid RP reason. To get something to pad your stats (not just str, dex, ... for the dolts) is completely OOC and should be treated as such.

As someone else said, RP between those that like eachother still exists, RP between those that don't like eachother has been DED, dead for a very long time.

You're kidding right? So it is completely OOC for my character to want better equipment? or those Reboks so he can fly around? I call BS. Is it lame? Sure. Should it be curseable? Hardly.

Wonder what the OOC motivations of that dude who ganked the other dude for his air jordans was? Must have thought they would make him fly.

It is completely OOC. You aren't doing it because your char wants the lewt. You, the player, is doing it to pad your stats. To say that you are doing it bc your char wants the lewt is a flat out lie.

If you really want to show someone that your char wants the lewt, then RP it. Don't ask your local sorc to look for the leet lewt, then ninja gank them and move on.

[edit] I should say RP with the person that has the leet lewt, before and after. Anything else is just [REDACTED].

It must be hard to type with your head shoved so far where the sun don't shine.

It must be so hard to type with [REDACTED] for brains.

I absolutely disagree. And I'll give a real life example.

If I'm walking around in ... oh, let's say, Iraq, in full body armour that has really pretty daisies painted on it, no one is going to care if I'm a combatant or not. If they think I'm an enemy, they're going to kill me and take that body armour for themselves. Because they WILL use it for what it's intended. It doesn't matter if I am only wearing it because I think the daisies bring out the blue in my eyes.

If you're dressed up like a combatant, don't be surprised when people take you for one.

No one minds a passionate discussion in the Open Forums, but you two decided to descend into outright insults that leave the topic far behind. Save it for General Discussion folks.

One week suspension for both.
