I'm IM'ing people constantly and on OOC clans while in the middle of full-out fights. Please don't tell me that it detracts from conversation.

If with 'snuggly commune' you mean that Serenwilde is helpful, nice, friendly and open towards new characters then yes Serenwilde is very 'snuggly'. If you are a total MUD or IRE newbie then I'd recommend starting in Serenwilde or Celest because they are so 'snuggly' which will make it easy for you to pick up on things and get a general feel for the game. If you then decide you want different rp you can still make your main somewhere else.

If however you meant 'snuggly' as in ... emote on CT or stand around at the Mother Tree snuggling, kissing and doing <3 smilies then sorry to disappoint, but Achaea is just over.. there! *waves*

(I find it funny how the stereotype of Serenwilde being snuggly, non-rp and whatnot ever increases.. especially since I've actually found the degree to which this applies IG to dwindle more and more.. (unless you define snuggly as I did above, then it's true of course))

Personally I've found that Serenwilde has a lot of rich history and you can find out many many details or aspects of Serenwildes past that are quite vicious or ruthless if you just talk to the right people.

*snuggle Aesyra*

QFT.

If you want to compare the Serenwilde to Magnagora, of course we are 'snuggly'. We don't go beheading anyone who smiles at the Nexus.
If you want to compare the Serenwilde to Glomdoring, of course we are 'snuggly'. We actually care about the people, and don't have a 'Nothing Matters but Serenwilde' mindset.

What I meant by my post is not that I was frustrated that I didn't find a niche for myself, rather the indication to the Roleplay situation in Lusternia. I could write up my irritations about Lusternia, but it could take up to an hour, if I really thought.
I don't think its multitasking for most people, its probably just not wanting to roleplay. I could go on and on on that thought alone, but its pointless for the most part to even bother, as its not going to change anything. Another one of my irritations is that people who have no interest in roleplay and level grind, monster farm, and quest spam, still want to move up in their organization like its some kind of new achievement but don't want to interact at all. You can be a Demigod Squire, folks.

I've never played in Magnagora, so I can't comment on the former, (although I think it's probably something of an exaggeration) but as for the latter...

It's been my experience that a great many in Glomdoring "care about the people" and quite a few in Serenwilde don't. This isn't a Rants thread, so I think it's a bit silly to generalize so broadly. Every organization has its stereotypes, yes, but the circumstances surrounding them seem to be changing.

Magnagora rocks hard. Sure there's the elitist thing, but if you come to play with murphy or a few others, and genuinley show an interest in getting better, you'll have tons of support, provided you show the right respect and attitude. Oh yeah, we're pretty brutal too at times, but these days it's mainly towards our enemies.

However, if you piss people off, expect to get your ass pounded harder than the new guy in jail who's a little nerds.

It's not that people in Magnagora don't hug/show affection, but if you're sitting in public doing it people are going to get annoyed and probably yell at you. And if you hug someone random you're probably going to be yelled at (unless they are snuggly themselves, you can't totally avoid it)

Magnagora has a lot of extremely creative and appreciative people. Affection isn’t publicly shown because of a Viscanti Noble ‘No personal displays of affection’ sort of thing. Which of course adds another layer of atmosphere to the city.

My examples with Magnagora and Glomdoring were also stereotypes.

I have to agree with him, partially. Some people are treating Lusternia like a chatroom; that's fine, great... but go to Achaea if you want a chatroom. Lusternia is appealing because of its roleplaying.

I'd rather read some truly funny things happening in an IC environment than perverted things on someone's OOC clan... sometimes stuff like that can be really, really funny, but try for the IC humor too. It's all cool if they want to collect those quotes and put them in one of those clanhelps, but give me some funnies here any day.

Nicely played.

Er, yes... That was rather the point of my post.

The sort of people who idle at the Pool or in manses and work only in OOC clans bothers me, just as it bothered me in Imperian. I just hate going to the effort to initiate small events in Celest and 3/4 of the population can't be bothered to attend.

I'm rather fond of weddings. On the rare occasion there is one that I can get to in ghost form, I turn up and watch until my willpower starts to bottom out.

Can't decide if that's strangely creepy or what, Yrael.

@Ymbryne: Sometimes it's fun to mingle. But not when they are borderline OOC.

I'm gonna go with creepy. 'sides if you want to watch a wedding, just show up unannouced and pretend you know a relative or something. Still creepy though.
