#4548, "Clarifications, Advice, and maybe even a witty remark..."
|
I'm glad to see you're a recovering cheater, stick with the recovery plan..it makes the game a lot more enjoyable on both sides of the coin. One bit of advice I'll drop before I move on to some explanations of questions down below...(and Nicolette's post says pretty much what I'm going to)...with me, at least, redemption is always an option. There have only been like one or two people who have screwed up IC so badly that redemption was probably next to impossible. Redemption is never easy, but 99.9% of the time, it is possible...point of fact, some of my favorite characters I've interacted with are those who slipped up and then used that as a rp tool and worked themselves back to good. I refer you to two such cases: Nicolette and Selfren. (there have been many others, but these two stick in my head at the moment)
Now for some explanation of the word 'greed' when applied to Paladins...I'm not about to give anyone a formula here, so don't expect much. It all comes down to common sense....if you doubt your own common sense, then by all means...don't play a paladin. Gathering gear is fine, building a very nice set of eq is fine....storing enough extras in your inventory that you could equip every paladin that stepped into the guild for three hours...is VERY bad.
In most cases, yes, you would recieve a warning before being unempowered. However, Ruairc (take this as advice by the way, since I'm not trying to publicly berate you or anything) wasn't exactly the most pious or virtous of paladins...so I figured instead of warning, I'd use the unempowerment as a warning. The thing that kinda irked me more than the greed factor was the fact that most of the gear-gathering ended up getting a groupmate or two whacked in the process...and that didn't jive well with what a Shokai paladin should be doing. So it was something of a double (or triple, depending on your viewpoint) whammy.
Anyway, I wish you the best of luck with your next character Ruairc...and if you do play another paladin, don't think in terms of "must kick people's ass!"...instead think in terms of "must make people think...'wow, there was a cool as hell paladin'". One thing I hate is hearing people (players and imms) grumble and mutter about how much goodies suck, and when I ask why, I hear 'because no one plays them correctly....they're just as bad as evils'. It's disheartening when that becomes the case.
