Guess that makes me somewhere between "anti-pirate to anti-pirate" and "roleplay to anti-pirate"...<br /><br />@Malcom A lot of people simply have no experience with role-playing, and many role-players do so in a consensual environment, so EVE can come somewhat as a shock (it did for me, despite extensive research). Add that a lot of games seem to poo-poo roleplaying, and you have a recipe for rage-quits.<br /><br />@Min Hevn: Unfortunately, "it's just a game" is an excuse readily used by people who simply are dicks, and who role-play 'being nice' in real life while being their real selfs in PvP games. EVE presents a very fine line here between "playing a dick" and "being a dick" - which admittedly is one of the challenges I appreciate, but which may backfire on people only used to gentler games.Druur Monakhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07299435488090977357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-238324579504790.post-20457221541148345372013-07-11T14:18:35.785-04:002013-07-11T14:18:35.785-04:00I have a friend at work, he was an avid WoW player...I have a friend at work, he was an avid WoW player then turned to EVE from my stories of the game. He was disturbed by my stule of play in EVE, shocked that I could be an evil person who ran around destroying other peoples hard work. The thing is, I am a good person out here, follow the rules, have a family, a carreer and am serious about being "good people". I pay hard earned money to play EVE, an MMO where you can be something different to escape from your rather pedestrian life. I want to be an agressive wind that leave a wake of carnage behind. :)<br />It is just a game kiddos HTFU and have fun.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15709218855780644524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-238324579504790.post-28299733737348008832013-07-11T11:04:11.660-04:002013-07-11T11:04:11.660-04:00For some reason I'm still surprised to see peo...For some reason I'm still surprised to see people equate actions in a sandbox MMO with someone's real life character. Just because you're a good guy in Eve, doesn't mean you are on IRL. And just because you gank, scam, or pirate your weasly black guts out in Eve doesn't make you a bad person IRL. Its a roleplaying game... if you are playing the same person as you are in real life I think you might be doing it wrong.Malcolm Shinhwanoreply@blogger.com
