Roleplaying Climate on this server?

What is the roleplay climate like on the EE server? On the NA server it was very much a don't ask, don't tell type of thing. In otherwords "You can roleplay, as long as it's not near me". My character is a Kami extremist. I've been known to go kill Karavan Tribes, run through Matis Territories causing a rukus, and most recently killed a few players that are part of Karavan guilds in the roots. I would like to continue that role, any thoughts?

Personally, from what I have heard said about you on the NA boards, I would say "Tone it down a little." I obviously have no actual experience of you, so I can't really comment, but I think its safe to say that no one likes it when anyone is truley *annoying*, be it in the name of roleplay or not. Other than that, RP is quite accepted on Arispotle, so as long as everyone keeps some common sense, we'll all be fine ;)

Also, I think you're now on the bigger side ;) It always seems that most people support the Kami over here :D

"You can roleplay, as long as it's not near me" is same here (in most cases). There are no known incidents of killing someone in PR becouse of Kami/Karavan side. You can try it, but most ppl on this server think that killing harvester in PR is same as killing lvl 10 player and that Role-Playing thing is only lame excuse. Some other Kami follower can kill you becouse you killed his/her Matis/Tryker friend. There is lots of mixed guilds. This may change, however, after server merge. We are, same as you guys, a bit sceptic about this merge thing and what we can expect from it. Only time will tell.

tbh I dont see much roleplaying going on bar the samsara and the occasional weddings, I think there are a few RP guilds knocking around but they generally seem against killing people (especially in PR)

on the whole if someone killed my in PR while harvesting I sure aint gonna be a happy man whether it be RP / grief

Its good to see that you have returned to the game. You used to make some valid points and observations on the forums in the early stages.
As for your roleplay, this is after all an RPG, so play how you like. Yours is an interesting aspect that hasnt been seen much, if at all, on the EE server so far, but i know some would get annoyed with it.

I try to keep my roleplaying to something that both I and other will enjoy. This could mean wearing distinctive gear, banding together to help allies or buying/selling in a particular way. Any roleplaying that annoys others is not playing the game imo, it's just doing what you wanna do and to hell with anyone else who doesnt like it.

I can't wait to roleplay mustering an attack or siege or whatever of an Outpost. But if it turns out that most people are having a rubbish time of it then maybe one of the following is happening:
1) My roleplaying is plain poop.
2) The others are not playing the game the way it is meant to be played.
3) The players dont want to play the story out as the game mechanics dictate.

Hopefully though, the game will support what the players want to do and the players will go about it in a funtastic roleplaying way. Whether they 'win' or 'loose'.

If you attack me anywhere, I don't care what the reason is, I will consider you a griefer and act accordingly (probably wont happen as i love kami's :) ). Think of it as me RP'ing an anti-griefer if you will :)

If I attack someone, then I would expect them to come after me. That is the point of attacking them. It would be redicilous to think I would expect someone to be nice after I kill them don't ya think?

I assume you wouldn't attack a fellow kami guild, but DCP apparently has a team on voice comms who will TP into roots to revenge PKers :p Just to warn you ;)

Time for the EE to have a taste of Raynes! Just wondering wouldn't a Kami extremist have a dis-taste for any digger or mob-farmer? Aren't you to protect the resources of Atys beyond all else?

I do not stand for ignorance or belligerence under the guise of RP, sorry!
