I have witnessed bad RP on a scale that would boggle the mind. I won't post it. I refuse. But should anyone of a steely disposition wish to discover the true depths of badness, PM me, I will link a screenie I took a while back. Trust me. It's horrible. And if I had not been playing a curious rogue in Goldshire, I would never have seen it either. Please though, if you do ask to see this abomination, do post your reactions to the horror and requests for brain bleach. You will need it.

you know ive seen a few old people who are saying certain aspects of amia are lacking. but most of these "the rp sucks here" posts are from people who have been playing here a month. hardly a viable source!
This whole thread makes me a bit sad. Clearly there are things everyone could do better, and there is an idyllic way an online fantasy world could happen. But we are just people, and we are all doing the best we can*. And as people, this is what we have: Amia. We can throw up threads like this ever couple months, have DM revolutions, whatever. It will still be the same. This is "best practice", i guess. Let's just be happy we have it at all. Be the change you want to see in the world, or some hippy crap like that.
*except for maybe a few jerks.

im sorry, but the jerks i see are the lvl 30s that your characters can't compete with in any way when they spit on your idle of bane because the don't care. they just don't care and that is how it will stay unless people/DMs actually do something about it. I'd really like to see standards increase, but hey, if im gonna be called a 'jerk' for posting an evident problem i see that won't last 20 minutes on the forums, then i don't know how to post a problem. i want the players to see the RP, not just individuals who give the RP out, because I already know their responses, "i'm ignoring your RP from now on" is what they casually say.
People are free to RP how they want, within the bounds of the rules.
That's how Amia is run - we allow people to enjoy themselves and have fun. If people enjoy RPing a certain way, they can. If you can't tolerate that, find another server.
Yes, it's blunt and sharp, but it's also astonishingly true. Bane isn't feared by all PCs (and with good reason. What type of person who's faced down dragons, is going to be afraid of a humanoid priest affiliated with others who are often defeated)
Hey, the best we can do is to remain positive, improve in RP (me) for everybody and avoid any OOC conflicts, it just negativity for nothing.
Remember that it's a game.
Also, as long as there is humans there will be a problem
Bane isn't feared by all PCs (and with good reason. What type of person who's faced down dragons, is going to be afraid of a humanoid priest affiliated with others who are often defeated)
I think one of the big issues is that no one makes a pretense of being afraid of anything, unless of course it can result in an OOC punishment of some kind.
I mean by the above logic, why would those who have faced down dragons show any respect at all for the guards at some petty backwater island town? At least the Evil Cleric has the backing of a God, not just a mayor or something.
Consistency people! Be afraid! Act like you don't know if this particular Baneite has a mass of followers or not! Act like you'd prefer it if they didn't kill your friends and family! ACT!

That.
And for amiaman123, I would suggest toning down your arguments - nothing invites flaming like an aggressive tone - even if you didn't mean it that way it is how it reads, at least to me.

Taking down a dragon and having manners are in two different courts, man. Just because someone has a spine doesn't mean they need to act haughty at authority; that's an alignment thing. Otherwise we'd have everyone in Khol flipping the bird at each other.

Yes, arrogance and confidence are two different traits. One is alignment driven, the other more RP / level.

Running your mouth off when you still flee from trolls is terrible RP, in my Humbledore. The level 3-30 thing is counterintuitive and imperfect, but it's a flat-out empirical fact of the game world.
There does seem to be a small amount of OOC information that comes into the equation when a level 30 deals with anything less than epic. I've seen it happen numerous times. I run across someone in the trolls with my low-level alt and their maxed out main and I get haughty arrogance and end up dying or running for my life. I run across the same character later on in the Spires with my own main and I get a much more polite and civil interaction.
Being low-level and mouthing off to epics may not be the smartest thing you can do, but at least he's RP'ing his character true. If the guy's an egotistical religious fanatic, he's not going to stop his preaching regardless of who's in front of him.

For the first time in a very, very, long time I had a positive experience in this regard. Made a new lowbie and was in the Frontier. 6 persons in Party, all levels 4-6 and having recently met. Came across a Red Dragon (summons). The summoner appeared, and threatened one of the lowbies. Two of the other party members came to the victims defense in the face of the Dragon Summoner, Dragon, and a Drow who appeared from stealth, but three instead emoted *runs* or *flees screaming* and beat a hasty path back to town.
What did I like? The variety of responses from a lack of fear and protecting a companion to abject fear and flight from a massive beast that could eat you for breakfast. Very refreshing and kudos to those involved.

The length of your stay isn't what gives you credibility in my book. It's the legitimacy of your argument.

Agreed. Estara's been around for at least two years. He knows exactly what he is talking about.

There is a certain amount of strength that automatically lends itself to this simple argument. You can't very well expect yourself to be considered knowledgeable in a subject after only studying it for a few months. It takes much longer than that to really know what you're talking about. I've been playing on Amia for years and I still don't consider myself even close to an expert in the psychological and sociological aspects of the server, regardless of my psychology degree. It takes a long time to study the trends and cycles of a group before you can reliably comment on them with any real credibility.

I thought it was obvious and spot-on enough to be laughed at without me commenting. I actually chuckled aloud, briefly. Which happens only a few times a week, at something I see on the net.
So don't feel bad, you made it into my "Funniest Things of the Week Online" with that.

This all reminds me that I need to do another Warhammer Ork Themed Attack...
WAAAAAGH
<_< Sorry. Taking this topic too seriously is detrimental to your health.
I would love to see an orc attack upon winya, nothing big but a small attack upon the guards would be fun. no idea as to what a Warhammer ork themed attack is like though.
Think Horde plot. Multiply by 10^3

You can't compare warhammer orcs with dnd orcs, there's just too many differences.
Orcs in warhammer average about 8-10 feet tall, they're atleast 3-4x more bulky then arnold schwarzenegger in his hay-day and have such strong resiliences to pain and regenerative abilities, they can get up after being incarcerated for hours after a killing blow and walk off like nothing happened. The animosity of orcish lifestyle is so intense, they put Lolthites to shame.
DnD orcs are like kittens in comparison. It's hard.
