Anyone know if this game is carebear?

1) if you kill a player can you take all their loot?
2) can you message players anytime you want?

So... you are looking for a game where you can gank and spam people.... If you find it, let me know so I can stay far far away from you :P

If someone ganks me and spams me with negative remarks. I enjoy taking that persons name and getting revenge against them and their friends. Its roleplaying at its best.

Or for example if someone ganks my friend, I can then go and avenge my friends death. Then if I succeed I can take my enemies loot and give it to my friend which then builds a stronger relationship with my friend.

Do you understand now?

Salvatoris · July 2006

I understand that having game systems in place to prevent ganking and spamming can put an end to that little vicious cycle before it even begins.

Who wants to play a game where you can't ignore obnoxious private messages if you choose to? How many people really want to play a game where all of your inventory items can be looted at any time?? Really, what you are asking for would appeal to such a small audience that it seems silly to me that anyone would implement a system like that. So by your definition, yes, to the best of my knowledge this game will be "carebear".

I fully agree. What the OP is asking for is a head ache if I ever saw one. How the explaination given is supposed to be fun I'll never know. Ironically, if it happened to him, he'd probably be the one crying to the CSR's, who would reply that it is working properly and is part of the mechanics he asked for, and so on. Why put a mechanic in place to allow ganking and spaming just so a person can get revenge against gankers and spamers? The logic makes no sense.

2) can you message players anytime you want? Unless they /ignore you.

And to answer your original question, no it's not "carebear"... it should be extremely hardcore.

That's not roleplaying... you can do that in Quake.

o.O Roleplaying at it's best? I'm sorry...usually Role Playing immitates, closely, some sort of REAL interaction that people may have...and last I checked...even in the most violent countries, there wasn't a whole lot of "Ganking" and "Spaming"...unless it's like...War Time...or under some sort of occupation.

The only way that is Roleplaying is if you are Roleplaying that your character is a big psychopath =P

And being a big jerk of a psychopath is sorta a cliche...so even then, it is not at it's best.

Thats because most people dont enjoy it and most companies want to make money not lose it. "Hardcore" pvp games/servers only interest a very minimal population, not enough money in it to make it attarctive for a company to do.

achellis · July 2006

so if you say its not going to be a good game then get out of the fourms

Seriously...it's a little rediculous. You've got the most recent post in every topic on the front page, all of your posts have no content...and you're obviously playing the part of the fanboi to make fun of certain people on these forums. It isn't appretiated...it's cool if you wanna talk, and it's even cool if you want to say you don't like this game...but jeeze man...you don't have to be annoying to get your point across.

Yes, its going to so carebear that it will have a range of fluffy teddy suits and choice of cute chest icons at character creation. The characters will possess a mincing gate when they run and all weapons are non-lethal. The only thing Casters will be able to summon will be bunches of flowers and fluffy bunnys from Top hats. Roleplaying will be limited to blowing kisses and how much we all Wuv Each Other.

So please OP stay well, well away from this game. You will hate it and all us pink, fluffy types who will be playing.

Move along now, nothing to see here

I hope there is a minimum word count that figures in to forum rank.. otherwise this dude is gonna skyrocket to the top.. one and two words at a time

I have my own reasons for not being overly enthused about the direction of this game, but they don't include the possibility of the game being considered a "carebear" game. I think the OPs opinion of what makes a game challenging or enjoyable is only shared by a small group of players. I personally think calling any player or game "carebear" simply because it doesn't have full open PvP with the ability to loot other players is ridiculous, and it really bothers me every time I see it. If these people really wanted the thrill of competing with other players, they should try it in a game with a level playing field.. Something like battlefield, or counterstrike. What i believe most of them want is the ability to bully players of lower level than themselves... and i personally don't consider that an admirable quality... and not the kind of thing a rational person would make fun of other people for not wanting to participate in.

As far as posting critical things about the game, that is really everyone's right. I generally see more trolling done by the proponents of the game than by the detractors.
