Proposal For Instanced Roleplay
With weddings taking off I know the tech is there to create Instanced roleplay events. I think our server will appreciate this so PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE go over to the link above and show your support for the idea. I need at least 50 supporters.
really wish i could help but no active rift account
Posted - it was my first post on the forums. I only talk alot over here. HA HA
Posted! Only my fourth post on the forums. :)
Hm... had to even setup an account to post.. but its done!
Well, I said my peice there, but now I know why that was my first post and might be my last over there. Really would like to say more, but the nay sayers are just being obstinate in my opinion and I'm better off keeping my mouth shut. Why? The old me will come out and it wouldn't be pretty and Fog would have to sit me down in a corner for a time out - a LONG time out. HAHAHA!
Done :)
Replied in support! The text of my post follows. --- What if there was a compromise somewhere in-between of still having openly accessible role playing for all to participate in and a way to block out the grief'ers? Perhaps there could be some sort of portal or entry-points at which players who wish to start a role-playing event. Rowdy night at the pub, fox hunt, visit the guild hall, picnic on a secluded bluff with a view, or heck - how about a guild or faction cookout in a large, open field somewhere, etc. Now give the person who launches the instance the ability to either lock it down and make it private/invite-only or leave it open and publicly accessible. Imagine strolling through Argent Glade or Granite Falls and a message pops up as you pass the Inn -- or even better -- there is a pack of rowdy friends or drunkards stumbling around. They either beckon the player over or have quest icon active above them (perhaps a new RP icon could be created instead). You go talk to them and they tell you all about the great time being had inside, with a prompt as to if you want to join or not. And if any grief'ers pop in and start a ruckus, the creator of the instance has the option of either ejecting them outright, or "calling the guards" (auto-flagging the perp for PvP so that those in attendance may show him or her the door. ;) Heck, you could even have random events occur in these types of instances. A pub instance could have random brawls break out, random NPC's show up and drink with the group, etc Would be quite fun, methinks. :D ---
I threw my two cents of support in, adjusted to .034 cents for seasonal inflation. (Sorry, I think all my economic classes are getting to me) I do think this would be an awesome idea though!
