Re: [Audyssey] Moving up in Lusternia

[Shadow Dragon]

I've never really had much luck with lusternia or any other iron realms 
games for a couple reasons. Firstly the roleplay atmosphere just doesn't 
seem to fit no matter what race, class or the like I pick. The races don't 
seem to have their own cultures, it seems to be all guild based, and even 
then the roleplay I did see was very loose and didn't seem to make a lot of 
sense. There's a lot of things I'd like to try out in the iron realms games, 
like the colossus battles in lusternia, or the ship battles in achaea, but I 
can't get passed the roleplay thing. The other reason is that guilds are 
just, weird. You have to have player approval to get past a certain level of 
training, and it seems to me that to get into the guild, no matter which 
guild it is, you have to write a ton of reports and essays and do interview 
and, blah. I can see that sort of thing for like, a scholar's guild, but 
there's a sort of chaos knight guild in lusternia for which that makes 
absolutely no sense, same with the monks guild. Also, the little minigames 
like capture the flag and tag and such don't make sense at all in a roleplay 
atmosphere. I've suggested to them in the past that they put up sepperate 
servers of the games non-roleplay, since these muds would be awesome hack 
and slash, but I never got a response. I imagine for a non-roleplay version 
they'd have to take out a lot of the player run stuff like guild approval 
and the like, but that wouldn't bother me in the slightest since having some 
guy I don't know run a required aspect of the game doesn't sit well with me. 
Does anyone else think these muds would be great without roleplay 
constraints? If so, would you guys be willing to back me in suggesting it to 
them again?
