Strategus RP Server?

[Auphilia]

I think there should be a seperate strat map, a smaller one for RPers only. Who actually use a strict theme and would never ally with certain clans based on their theme that they openly acknowledge at the begining of strategus. For example Drz said, "We don't want diplomacy, we just want to rape, pillage, and loot." Something like that. So this would mean NO holy clan like templars or hospitallers would ever ally with them because they are apparently fighting for "good" and to purge all "evil", that sort of stuff. A bandit clan like Fallen or ATS would not ally with a knightly order that fights for good. A clan called CHAOS would not be peace keepers lololol, they would be chaotic, I'll never get over how contradicting their name is compaired to the way they play strategus.


TLDR; Let all the statistical diplomatic hand holding win at all costs never get into a fight you arent guarenteed to win only use cost efficient gear mega alliances and clans play strat the way they want to, sure. But let some of the RPers have fun too. We gimp the shit out of ourselves with gear restrictions and staying true to our RP already, let us play in our own little world so we can have more fun lolz.


I wish strategus would have recognizable factions and clans, not rag tag clone armies where everyone uses and fights in the exact same ways. That is extremely boring. I want to see more knightly orders, or fanatic monks, or chaotic bandits, pirates, robin hoodlums, desert warriors, ninjas, samurai, vikings, etc with an actual purpose and roleplay. This would encourage more fun wars in strategus. Quit holding hands with large clans...30 members is more than enough, lets see some more smaller clans.

If they make an alternate RP server, they should totally cap clans to 30 or so members. If you want to play mega alliance monopoly, then you can join the normal strategus lolz.

Yes, because you totally couldn't split into several 30 member clans and still function effectively as one clan.

How would you judge who's RPing and who's not? Who's going to sit down and go through all the reports/complaints then talk to all the leaders about their possible RP reasoning for doing XYZ and then deciding if it's a proper RP reason or not - and what's the punishment for doing something that's not RPy enough? Deletion from the strat?

Not gonna work at all, on any level.

It would be a general understanding of a possibly more mature sub-community in crpg. RPers generally don't have to be told how to RP lol, they just do it because they like to. If it came to it, I suppose there could be forum admins responcible for that strat server and could draw all the lines of accepted roleplaying. I don't see that being a huge issue. Of course there will always be trolls and immature adults and children, that isn't avoidable in any online game.

I still think it would be a nice idea to have an opportunity to find out of an RP server could work. No need to shoot it down ;). Just a suggestion, that I have not fully thought through. Anyone is welcome to add to it. Maybe we can all come up with something that WOULD work.

The Free Peasents of Fisdnar RPed our first battle to try retake Fisdnar it was fun as hell. And we are still struggling along hoping to hell to one day be able to take Fisdnar.

You can RP no one is stopping you, its quiet fun and it can work.

[RibaldRon]

No please. 

I would rather see a full-on co-op strategus VS some giant computer faction that churns out armies like SP.


*though not saying I would support that either as compared to just balancing out current full PVP strat.

[Tanken]

You said RP and I was like +1.

Add a poll with only a Yes option, see how many people would play there/are poll trolls.

A clan called CHAOS would not be peace keepers lololol, they would be chaotic, I'll never get over how contradicting their name is compaired to the way they play strategus.

Please refer to our faction thread to inquire what the abbreviation CHAOS stands for.

I would like to see more RP in this game. For example when I run naked someone should hug me on snow maps to protect me from cold. Then we could make out. Just saying...

[Auphilia]

I know what CHAOS is lol, I was just saying. You guys obviously chose the name chaos first and then came up with something that fits all the letters. Maybe you could have...idk, been less misleading with the name ;)?

That is like the Red Lotus changing our color to blue xD

But anyways I like you guys  , so don't take it personal or anything. It was just an example.

It appears those who do not like this idea, also do not like to RP. So, you wouldn't have to worry about an RP server right, as you wouldn't want to join it?

ON TOPIC:

I think a smaller RP server would be plenty of fun, for those who actually like to RP. All RP communities figure a way out to moderate things, I don't see why it would be a problem here.

To join the RP server/community you would have to send an RP admin all of your clan's (or your own) info and RP backstory and such. They would add your information to a post for everyone to see, so we would all know what you are about and what can generally be expected of you. For example if you wanted to be a bandit clan, everyone would recognize you as bandits. If you wanted to be a knight order clan upholding all that is good, everyone would recognize that as well. So in the event your holy knightly order decided to bandit innocent farmers or whatever, the entire RP community would know about it and brand your clan as merciless renegades and add you to the bandit/hostile group. Which would allow all other "good" clans/players to attack you without any RP penalties, in fact they would gain honor or whatever for cleansing the land of evil and other holy factions would recognize them.

We could also have players issue quests and such to each other, for fun. To offer a quest you just make a post in the RP forums and another player/clan has to publicly accept it. For example, escort missions, or assassinations, etc. I suppose in the event of an anonymous offer (as we wouldn't want people to know we want them assassinated) you would just PM an admin to post it for you.

If you have a large faction, you can hire mercenary armies the same way you would offer a quest. Perhaps we could add holy relics or something to make things more interesting. A king could issue a knight order to retrieve a holy relic, bandits could intercept them and try selling it for epic loot, and it could end up with a lone wanderer who is then confronted by a knightly ordered and taken prisoner. Who knows. (That probably sounds unrealistic, but I assure you there are many fun things we could come up with).

In this server everyone could make a name for themselves. If you are a king in the RP server, everyone acknowledges it. If you are some bad ass invincible warrior, everyone acknowledges that as well and would pay handsomely to hire you to merc for them.

Maybe we can even make it to where once you die in strategus, you are done. You have to make a new character for the RP server to rejoin. You can decide to join a new faction or be a bandit or whatever, without the whole world pressuring you to take your former role. If you did want to join as your former role you could appear as your former self's child who has just come of age to take up the family responsibility.

There are many many fun things we could do with an RP server. I'm sure all of you could come up with some amazing stuff. But first, we have to find out if having an RP server is possible and how many players actually want to do this.
