Hey i'd just like to know a few things:

About PVP, is this gonna be step out of training and meet like 50 highest level people there who continously beat down the just starting players? cause thats just no good, you would never be able to begin!

Is there actually RP? iv'e heard many online MUDs like this promise RP, but I join in and I find hordes of people arguging about exp, l33t loot and who should have what nerfed.

Thanks in advance!

There's plenty of RP, have a read back through some of the events posts and imagine what us older players have been through.

Generally, I don't see novices being beaten up on by the big guys, cause no offence, but quite often you guys aren't big enough for them to concern themselves with. You should find plenty around your own experience/level willing to spar, and there's almost always PvP somewhere or other for some big reason.

Just keep your nose clean and you should be good. Go running around involving yourself with village influencing and the like, and yeah you're gonna be beaten down by the higher people. It's truly dependant on what you participate in. Being new, I'd advise involve yourself with the guild mainly so you can learn, do spars/duels and arena to learn to fight, and then when you feel ready to be involved with higher level pk, then join in.

Normally people will not kill you without having a good reason too. There is also a system that protects you on the prime plane reading HELP AVENGER ingame will explain it

RP is enfourced, however how deeply you submerge yourself is up to you. If you want you can Bash at a minimum of RP (totally no RP is impossible) but you find most of us try to get a bit deeper RP and develop our characters like members of a community.

Actually it was more chaotic when the game first came out as for as PvP. There was literally too much of it so much in fact people left because they didn't have the time to relax and RP because Celest was constantly being raided or low level constantly being killed while defending.

There is tons of Roleplay you just have to find it really. Lots of interesting events happening, the game is still new so its nice for beginnings. However the combat here is very complex the PvP community of this game may be a bit large on the boards but that is because they are usually the most active in the game. In game and out of game are two things in that regard.

Yeah, see, all those things, especially the bolded part, are what these forums are for biggrin.gif We don't do such things ingame - we RP there, we whine and complain here wink.gif

If I even see someone use the word "l33t," I will kill them twice, get avengered, peaced, wait for it to end, and then kill them again.
Iridiel2005-09-16 11:52:00
Better l33t than h4x0r sux0rr wich I still don't know what the nil means. That perversion of language gets on my nerves. Looks like the person using it is insulting me and my family.

The day I logged into my first IRE realms and saw this in help language rules I literally lept for joy and knew it had to be a great place:

Furthermore, the justifiably-despised hacker-speak (l33t h8x0r type of
nonsense) is completely banned from Lusternia. If we see you doing it, you will
get one warning, and then be banned. Go play Everquest if you want to hang out
with that sort of person.

Jack and I used to send entire tells to each other in 1337. Good thing no one was watching.

Anyway, was for PvP, you can be a part of player conflict without ever laying a hand on another person. Many of the important factors to the game environment such as peaced village influencing, power gathering, and world-altering quests can be accomplished without any direct Player to Player conflict while still affecting the overall landscape.

Or something.

I'd expect that from you, but Jack? I didn't realise he was equally sad.

Stop being a pathetic lamer please Quidgy. What two friends decide to do in tells to each other is none of your frigging business, or do you have the right to judge. Do we judge you negatively for you homoerotic mumblings to Ardrak whenever you get drunk? No, so don't judge others on their tells to their friends either.

Quidgy opened the door by the unprovoked attack on Guido and Jack, I just stepped through and punched him in the babymaker.

I believe such was done solely out of jealous due to inability to use your own.

Nuh uh, thats not what your grandmother said to me last night.

Dude, those were OOC tells. You should've seen our IG tells plotting to release Kethuru.
