Talked to people that almost left the server because they've been harrassed about their quality of role-playing - one person was actually in tears over it. It needs to stop.Greifing needs to be reported to the GM team and real instances of it will be handled properly.Hearsay about such and such does not mean that the proper action is to lash out on the forums in a way that may or may not be related to the issue at hand.If you witness griefing report it to the GM team and it will be handled by the GM team.

Stephen_Zuckerman - 2/12/2007 3:44 PMHawk - I crashed, and didn't want to log back on just to see the same trash from players who should know better.
To reiterate something Darkstorme said:I in no way think that the orcs, drow, etc. should be accepted, while Dire Spiders aren't. I don't think any of them should be, and my new characters don't. A halfling of mine ended up shooting at Cymeran Vrinn a while back...
Stephen_Zuckerman - 2/13/2007 11:16 AMThat doesn't change just because something's glowing blue. The fact that it's glowing blue also doesn't change the fact that the NPCs around us (not just the ones that have representation, but the ones milling about in the gameworld) would FREAK OUT at the sight of something they are taught is a monster.
Niles09 --I dont want to start the whole discussion again, but sometimes you seriously overdo the whole drow thing, and do some quite unresponsible RP, like when PC's just keep harasing a drow, that would have chopped their head of long ago if it wasn't for the pvp rule. Sometimes it would be nice if people thought, "hmmm what counteractions do this PC have, if I say this to him - and would it kill me in a pnp world."
Stephen Zuckerman --What do we do to things we fear? We leave them alone and run away, or we kill them.

People should hate drows, unless they got a reason for not to, but if the drow is clearly stronger they should run insted of attacking.I would say, that if you are willing to attack aggresive NPC drows wich is "impossible" for you, you're welcome to insult or attack the "impossible" PC drow, without thinking of the consequences. If not, then run away in fear instead.
AeonBlues - 2/13/2007 5:57 PMThis thread seems to be going off topic here.I think what we do should make good RP sense. My druid met a fellow named Sol. They were talking Coyote told Sol that Coyote could make himself small. Sol asked to see, so Coyote said "I will show you. No one should be too scared as I will be small, but if some one asks, you say I am your pet." Coyote then took the shape of a badger. He ran in a few circles and changed back again. This seemed like good RP from my point of view.Coyote does not bring his wolf companion into towns, or walk through town in an animal form, because they might be hunted or attacked. Birds fly through towns, and hawks deliver messages. So a bird shape should not be perceived as a big issue, just like a small cat familiar should not be any big deal to anyone.Common sense is the rule that should apply here. If doing something would logically bring injury or harm to your animal companion/familiar, or make everyone hate your character, like summoning undead or shifting/polymorph into a frightening beast/monster, then you are exercising an extreme lack of common sense that your character most often would not demonstrate.Good common sense makes for good RP.AeonBlues
That being said, there is no tolerance in this community. There is no room for mistakes, there is no room for different styles. There is a growing cadre of players that are bringing McCarthyism to the server. They are beginning to suck the joy out of the world because of their unwavering insistance that the way they do it is the only right way. They don't like what you do? You are branded A BAD ROLE PLAYER! You disagree with them? You are trying to ruin the spirit of the server.
