Jennbo, I hate to break this to you, but being in the same faction as someone's enem(ies)y gives them more than ample reason to kill you(Hell, people die for less reason than that all the time.). And yes, this is true, even if your faction accepts everyone and their mother as members.

(Not to mention I've seen your character engage in PK pretty actively.)

(And no, I was not involved in this at all, and if anything, actually play an ally of your character.)

Anyways. Roleplay isn't dead. What IS dead, is Roleplay between enemies. That has been dead for ages.

I agree RP isn't dead, and know I do my damndest (although admitedly lazy at updating my description, I'll do that later today though! Promise!).

I do agree there is way too much PKPKPKPKPK, especially with no build up to the event.

And I completely agree more curses should be given out, but not to me because I am great 8)

I think RP is dead.
An act of RP that my character attempted was recently tagged as sabotage and was cursed for it. I never complained or talked back, but I think it's appropriate to bring up.
Fountain RP has been dead for years now and it's a real shame it is. Does no one trust the other anymore? Or is it a matter of a playerbase with overinflated egos and wanting to prove themselves to the rest of us how important they are?
Now that I think about it, it's not just RP. A lot of players are dead. Braindead.

Yeah, Nerina and Exille are usually pretty good places for fountain talk, some waiting might be involved, but if you can strike up a good conversation with someone, it will ensue! Good, and interesting, RP on your side can strike up the most unlikely of conversation RPs. Or so I find.

My most recent character's been able to RP with every alignment, without difficulty...in Nerina, Sith, Teron, Menegroth. I doubt Exile would be hard either. And he is an evil class.

I've even spoken to some "enemies" if you can call them that. But that will always be a difficult thing. Most people just don't have much to say to their enemies except taunts, warnings, blah blah. Religious arguments.

Either way, turning off quiet mode after PK is disgusting and lame. I don't mind enemies, but I think your last point summed up what I was trying to say in a three paragraph rant. Enemy RP is dead, and the quiet mode just proves it.

-edit-
And Syndal, all your characters are PK-ish. This isn't an insult, I suck at PK and I'm glad that a girl can PK with twinkish nerdy boys who don't do anything all day other than this.

But my character doesn't really see "sides" or good or evil or any of that. If someone's going to attack her for her associations either religion or faction (which not everyone knows about, thanks for bringing it up) they should at least freaking talk to her. Can people not understand that?

This is how my character was, from the opposite side, until the one bad egg decides OMG I WANT HER LOOT PK PK PK. Blah. And then you're helpless - do you respond violently, which is against your character's RP, or do you just give in and become a pushover?

If you don't want to have PK, why do have any loot?
