..doesn't make them a good RPer. Yes they are a good person and helped people with stuff, but this character was awful in so far as RP is concerned and mostly just hoarded and distributed upper end gear while ranking newbies.

"The world needs ditchdiggers too."

At least, as far as I'm concerded. Furthermore, they weren't "awful" in RP - maybe there wasn't much by way of 'unique' or 'creative' in their speech but at the same time there was nothing jarring. Which puts them above many others, in fact.

CF is already hard. We really don't need an elitist community belittling anyone who isn't exactly good at the intellectual aspect of the game, whether that be for language reasons or simply lack understanding/maturity. If that means having to suck it up and do your best to remain in character while someone "seems/sounds OOC", then you have to suck it up because you're the better player. Period.

That said, it seems like we (right now) have a very very bad hoarding problem going on in game.

It isn't like I went OOC on them IC to discuss their poor RP. This character caused me a lot of frustration because I had him as an ally and an enemy and never really got a good interaction out of him. I'm not sure thats part of being in an elitist community or just trying to be like...yo dude, you would be a better player if you tried harder at X Y and Z instead of just logging in and quitting, not RPing, and spamming eq and locate object in your guild...now I mean obviously the guy really loved those things because the character was around for a while, but I've always figured people won't change unless you point #### out to them. If you want to say 'this guy doesn't need to change' that is fine, and I really would be fine with CF if he didn't change at all, I just felt like the player would benefit from it and probably have more fun, I know I would.

I don't really have a problem with people hoarding the good gear if they're actually using it to do things other than guild/inn sit.

tl;dnr....I want shinies too and with the code changes that prevent good gear from showing up based on player count hoarding is more noticeable/detrimental to me having them.

It's a terrible class played by terrible people.

LOL. I wouldn't call the guy 'a terrible person' because he doesn't speak English well.

Hording is a part of the game btw. You don't deserve a piece of gear more than anyone else. The only time I find it a real problem is when you're talking about good-aligned gear, where you actually have to *WAIT FOR THE GUY TO DELETE* to get it...lol. That kinda sucks...

If the character was actively distributing gear, I'm not sure what "hoard" means. Does hoard mean it was wearing something you wanted and you couldn't kill it?

Whether or not the character was P vs E, which is a perfectly fine way to play the game, or helped newbies rank, is about as irrelevant to the quality of his RP while doing so as whether they were a good person.

Moreover, if he's mowing down some of the toughest NPCs in the game in order to get said gear, he's obviously doing far more than guild sitting. Nor is guild sitting exactly safe when you've got random scion shifters and ragers around, amongst others, unless his RP was good enough to really be friends with everybody. There's a few Heralds who can tell you about how safe inn sitting is against orcs and ragers.

If you couldn't interact with him, consider that maybe your supercilious attitude leaks into the game and makes characters who are actually focused on enjoying their time uninterested or uninspired by you.

I will say that this character was a fine gnome. Random, whimsical, spoke well for a flighty gnome, and above all, actually neutral -- not your garden variety murdergnomeshifter. He could have been a Herald with very little change to his RP, I think.

Hopefully, Bulga, you try again and do a Herald sometime :)

I never wanted to be someone special in this game. In fact as I said on another note I was here mostly to help me learn english better as Im from Quebec. If I used a lot of shapeshifter its because it was simplier for me to interact with others and see how they were writing english. It was hard for me sometime to keep the line of the play using my online translator to be able to continue without losing the line of the fun I was also searching. Roleplaying on higher sphere (hero and such powerfull players) is not so easy. I used a lot of time locate object and generosity to interact with others. This Bulga had a lot of interaction with succes. From the Empire to the Chasm or the Fortress . You cant immagine how it was funny to get good only equipment from an Imperial friend and 3 or 4 days later giving this piece to a young elf... I did try my best with what I can do. I know my syntax is not great or my vocabulary is simple. But This game was a good way to upgrade it.
I also was during all those year more others... I forgot some... of course I was adective

Thank to you all.. Im sorry if I did something wrong but I did try to survive in this game and never remembering to try to get some fun too...

And seriously, playing Carrionfields to learn English - I commend you, that's some nice dedication.

But I've enjoyed several of the characters on that list.

Keep it up.
