oh joy! *sarcastic tone*
Never mind that although quite a few people enjoyed the double XP weekend I personally have never seen such a huge slip in RP or peoples consideration and attitude towards each other as I did that weekend.
She'll shoot me for this....but....*sighs*...I gotta disagree a little.... just a little.
Yep...there were times when pure and simple grind was ongoing....
...but there was also some bloody good RP still going on. Maybe's hard to find....but it was there.
I recall a group I was with getting hit with the RP wand .... and a few rather good arguements and banter going on in North Point when we were supposed to be hunting minotaurs.
The whole double XP weekend was fun.... so long as people dont go totally crazy on it... which I didn't really see too much of. But then.... all depends where you are really.
As for fast-leveling... well...if you have the time to put into it.... then good for you. Level away.
But someone said it best above me....cant check now Im writing....
... you may RP minimum and hit level 21 pretty fast.....
..but then all the other high levels you start joining on quests and adventures are gonna be " er...who are you again?"
You wont know them well....wont have RP'd with them.....you'll miss out on all the fun arguements and friendship banter that comes from RPing with someone or several people over a long period of time.
To me....thats what can make something as simple as going to pick corn with people a hoot or mundane.
RP first.....fight later.
But...er....thats just me. Dont flame me for it....I just saw all the cool kids doing it and wanted to join in
Oh er.....we were on about our Thanks count weren't we?
*sighs, loots at his meagre Thanks count and slinks away*
