RP server badmin here.
*Prepares himself for pitchforks*
I'll start off my saying I'm quite the lurker on these forums and am regularly amused by the posts from some of you who seem vehemently against roleplay on LiF. Not trying to start an argument here but I'd love some insight into where you guys are coming from.
In my experience, RP servers are - always - at the top of the server list and have been at US peak since at least June 2015 (when I started playing). Crownlands, Sanctuary, RPCLiF, Arkhaya, LIFRP, Feudal Realms, the list goes on... I think this is a testament to the fact that Life is Feudal is at its best when people care about their characters and attempt to give meaning to their PvP. In my opinion, that's what makes Feudal a game I'm willing to keep sinking embarrassing number of hours into.
Now I fully understand being frustrated by RP rulesets and carebears who whine every step of the way, trust me, I probably know better than most having handled
literally hundreds of report-a-player tickets. But I find myself equally frustrated and confused by people who play LiF
only for the PvP and want to spend their time KoSing for out of character reasons. Don't get me wrong, I like PvP too, but given the fact that the game can only really handle small skirmishes (and even that is a bit clunky) at the moment, why hold against people the other aspects that make this game awesome?
The last little quibble I'd like to touch on is the idea that RP oriented players should just stick to YO when the MMO comes out. I see the logic here but I hope you know that there are those of us are equally excited - if not more excited - to get in on a larger map without a playercap. Furthermore, you can't even understand how much I'm looking forward to an RP community on the MMO where rules need to be enforced in-character instead of out-of-character. "Oh, one your guys came on our lands swinging their sword like an idiot and screaming BS in their mic? Good luck seeing any of our 50k shaped granite"
Anyway, really stoked for the potential of realm wide politics, diplomacy, trade, and stroylines. Been looking forward to the MMO like crazy. Fingers crossed for gruesome alignment penalties.
