RP

[Donan]

I know this is not an RP server but I thought the following may be fun for some. maybe having something and rp player of the month. by rp i dont mean run around and kill everyone in other factions but just kind of settle in your role whatever your faction/race/alignment etc is. last night ns was swarmed by AO and i died oh...many times but the few of us that were able to enjoy the event came together in a great party acted as defenders coordinating our attacks expressing our disdain for the dragons but the conversations were the things that someone would say say in character, wish i took some ss but im sure you get the drift. every time i respawn i took xp hit, i know the DM probably would raised me to avoid it but i had so much fun i didnt want to wait, i wanted to get right back into the fray.

i think it will help a little with all the pvp stuff going around also. say i am some young fighter with cheap armor and an iron sword and road i see some powerful wizard surrounded in magic walking towards me, i know i wont win so instead of running by 2inches away i have to go out of my way to keep the most distance thinking the mage wont waste his time with me. if i am the wizard and i see someone giving me a wide bearth who is obviously weak i probably wont bather chasing em down. i see the constant close contact of enemies, whenever i have a lower char and i see someone strong run by i always get out of their way, and if they are fighting an npc i dont just join the fray and expect not to be killed. its no solution but the get out of the way before you get run over logic may help just a little

how its decided i am up for suggestions but for rewards instead of juts xp or gold allow that player to have an npc char permanently or temporary for the month, say an ogre or fairy or even a guard at their city with some high stats giving them survivability. feel free to add any other ideas

note: i am not trying to turn things into hardcore rp but for those that enjoy it can do it and those who dont want to dont have to
