You don't appear to be ESL. You just specifically mentioned "written in English," so I assumed.

Considering the ease of writing a paragraph of a role to receive the necessary imm exp/role exp, plus the added benefit of people having a blueprint that admins can check to see if you are really role playing... Seems like a good thing to me. Being required for special parts of the game or low-level quests just means more people are encouraged to have that blueprint in place.

Add that it isn't necessary to "compete" and I don't see any problem.

I do, however, see a problem with player perception of what is required to get role exp. You can literally write a 2-3 sentence summary of your character and still at least get the minimum 500 immortal experience for initial role reading. Hell, it barely has to say anything at all. I've rolled throw aways to see and have received 1k exp for something as simple as a 5 bullet point summary. Each point being less than ten words in length.

It's kind of like complaining about having to write a description. Ok, it takes a miniscule amount of effort and time away from mindless PK, but it benefits the game's atmosphere as a whole.

Now, those poor ESL guys do have an unfair disadvantage (barely) in this realm. For that reason, I offer my services!
