Look, this is what I do. When people start pissing me off, I store all of my stuff, and make an alt. I pick a person I don't like, make an alt near them. After a while, I realize that people are just people, and for the most part, people REALLY aren't trying to piss you off, they just play their role.

This can be subverted pretty badly if the people in question are jerks.

Paladins have uber-strict RP and discpline/respect stuff from what I remember.

Spiritsingers have a lot of RP, but not so much on the strictness, from what I know.

It's been a while since I played, but, from what I remember, Serenguards pretty much leave you alone.

I'd say not Celest, only because if you've made friends in Mag, you'll find them being made fun of, etc. At least in Seren you can keep your Mag friends, for the most part.

Yehhhh, Aquamancers pretty much leave you alone, just don't break any laws. Celestines...I managed to dodge doing an exam for months IRL biggrin.gif

Spiritsingers make better bards. They also have better roleplay, a more active guild, and they actually use their stage. If you can get past the potential GM/GA conflict/tension/drama, the guild is definitely worth joining.

That died out pretty quickly quite a while ago and hasn't resurfaced, actually.

What would Lendren say about Ardmore coming back? tongue.gif
We had good times but they eventually crashed, and there was hostility.
Lendren2008-08-06 14:42:17
Lendren also argued quite animatedly against Ardmore being enemied even after that. He holds no grudge. (You should be asking this in game, though!)

It depends what is fun for you. I mean, sometimes you can have fun with being put upon, like...

But I am sure it can get old. Spending more time trying to maneuver politics and drama than, you know, actually playing can be fun at times, but it definitely can fray nerves.

Just remember, when in doubt, err on the side of fun!

i dont really know what your talkin about with jerks/beaches in Mag. I mean Mag is naturally abrasive, i actually find it odd when their are light hearted moments . idk if your just taking some of the other characters darker/mean roleplay to heart. Like sometimes i get discouraged when people dont respond to my tells or talk to me unless they need something, but these are also the people who have some really good RP situations. I also dont really get the two groups of Mags sad.gif and dont know where that would lump me then. blah.

I also found some of the 'jerks' mentioned on here, not to be jerks at all they helped me ALOT as a newb, and are always really helpful. confused.gif idgi

I define someone as a jerk by how they respond to someone who is not on their side.

It is a rare person who is actually a jerk to -everyone-.

Look away Karnagan! sad.gif I liked you, and it's going to upset me if you get mad at me for leaving (if I do)


I'm straight out disappointed. Really. I mean, it's one thing if it's just leaving the city, but Ur'Guard? I take almost everyone that leaves as a direct personal failing. So at the risk of attracting hated Forum Dramah Llamas, what happened? Is it anything I can help with?

Sorry to hear you want to leave.

well isn't it natural for enemies to be...enemies???

or do you simply mean someone who doesnt agree with them?

You can be an enemy and not a jerk.

For example, some players will never kill low might enemies without a warning, others might jump them but will give the corpse back to be raised, while others will force them to pray with no warning. The same could be said about working to have fair fights, not using abusing language (though depending on how bad that gets I just issue them) and so on.

I am sure every org has its jerks, but you often do not really get a sense for who they are until you are playing a char that works against them (though some you can tell from their posts here).
