Guess I'm a housewife character.  Maybe its time to take a break for a while.  Maybe Taislin's right.

yes, going out to help somebody mine ore and killing along the way is good, its fun and it makes sense. but in general thats not what alot of the people do... there are plenty that just pop up and say "hey lets go to dregar, i need to level" Thats not role play, thats going to slaughter stuff mindlessly and *maybe* get some ore/craftable recources along the way.  Those are the groups that I avoid at all costs. If it makes me a house wife, hey whatever. Hand me a frying pan and diaper bag and lets get to role playing.

I'd like to say that I agree with alot of your points.

Like you, none of my characters are above level 10. Charos, my oldest, is only 9th. Theres a simple reason for this, role play.  Anyone that knows me knows that I try and stay away from large groups (7+ people) because generally it turns into a slaughterfest where you just roam the server killing all in their path. While great for experiance, it really kills the role play for me. My ideal group is 4-6 people that i know and like to role play with. Thats where the fun is for me personally.  If the groups get too large, or i lose my taste fro the role play in that group.. my character will move on.  As i've said, anyone that knows me, knows this to be true.

Your point about random surprise quests is one of the things im unsure of. Back when I played Charos as my main character i remember several instances where myself and Geld would run into random encounters with GM's that werent set ahead of time, a couple specifically for our groups. I'm sure they still do this (the gm's) just not as often as i remember.

Well.. i just cought yer post and wanted to give my 2-jink =)
I hope you don't leave, that trial was fun and i hope we get more of that soon.
