#1139, "Roles"


          

I have had a couple charaters in this game. But now I want to get more out of a player like making a name for myself and I want to start with the role I have read the help files but I still don't undserstand how I can start it out can you give me an example? It's that I don't want to be a foolish player or make a mistake.

Check out the premium battlefield forum. Posts there include the players roles.

I just bumped a thread in the "History and Current Events" forum which has a number of previous award-winning roles.

IMO, having a great role isn't the way to get noticed. PLAYING a great role is what makes the imms stand up and take notice. Now, I'm not advocating having no role, but you should certainly be more concerned with fleshing a solid role out in your head and following it through with your actions, than coming up with some ingenous background which is little more than a well written story that has no actual bearing on your character.

Case in point is Nep has said, that an empoweree's sphere should be obvious just by snooping them for a while. Actions speak louder than words (written in this case), and it is those actions that separate the wheat from the chaff.
