+--- Thread: I want /rpp (/thread-2143.html)
I want /rpp - Rod - 04-01-2020
I know /rpp isnt coming back anytime soon, but I know it will come back eventually. But I want to be the pioneer in requesting it's return. Trust me, I've been here long enough, it's only a matter of time. Infact, i predict within 3 months it'll be back because the population of the game will be too low to ignore those crying out for it to return.
This game demands too much time, to justify not telling me when I get a reward.
I know some of you are extremely dedicated. But me personally, I got other stuff I want to do, which includes playing other games, while I wait for a reward on Eternia.
This is all going to sound extreme , and riddled in one liners that revolve around 'Just RP and let it come' , 'Just dont play for a reward', 'Copy paste **** in your mouth of looking casual and cool' to the 3 people who care.
No one here gets to tell me 'You dont RP for Fun'. I am one of the most interactive and influence pushers for other people , so much that my character revolve around boosting other people. My entire description is telling other people's story while telling my own. Very few of you can say you make the impact like I do on my characters without forcing it down your throat. But if Im going to RP so much, socialize so much, promote the mechanics of the game and its story telling ideal, then I want a proper reward for it. And all Im asking for is telling me when I get the reward that I earned.
I can deal with slow rewards, I can deal with large quantities required for the reward. What I don't like is information taken from me for no reason other than 'The same circle of people kept bragging / hating about when they would get rewarded', so the answer was to rip it out.
Like I said, when you approach a topic this aggressively , I wont get /rpp soon. But I -do- know I got the message out.
Bring the ****ing downvotes and One liners.
(Whats worse , when I say that, people are so offended of being told what to do, they wont downvote it. Why are you people so dependent on other people's perception of you. This game would be in a better place faster if people would share their opinions. I mean yea, your opinion doesnt mean **** by yourself, but when you get a group of people, you make enough noise for something to happen. I see people constantly agree with me, vast amounts of people. But their so scared. That, or aware what happends when you try to speak out.)

you can swear here rod no ones gonna tell mom... see watch: fuck
aside from that yeah i agree. no /rpp feels a bit strange to me. i like knowing if i've hit the requirement for the day
RE: I want /rpp - Togetak - 04-01-2020
3 hour checks with no /rpp feels kind of bad, it sometimes feels like i've got a bunch of checks backed up because i'm just hopping in for a couple hours at a time
RE: I want /rpp - Avajain - 04-01-2020
I'm going to chime in here: While your frustration at its removal is somewhat valid- change, after all, is a bad thing- but I'm going to point out a very small, very tiny detail-
I can, immediately, off the top of my head, think of several people for whom the removal of /rpp has made a dramatic change in the enjoyability of the game- so much so that it has BECOME a game again, instead of a chore. I'm going to quote something in Botanist's post-

We shouldn't feel like we HAVE to hit a certain amount of checks each day. It's totally alright if you feel that way! But it isn't a healthy way to play the game, and while I'm certain I won't be able to change your mind, you can damn well be certain you won't change my mind, or all the other people the removal of /rpp has helped.

Might end up coming back.
I just hope that it doesn't.
To sum up how I feel about /rpp now i'll just copy paste what i said to a friend a while ago.
Quote:i think i finally realized
why i became unable to make my own fun
...
i cared too much about being qualified
about the race
to 200 RPL
to be on top
and now
i cant do /rpp
and im
free.
and i
am enjoying it again
The game became a game
not a competition for me.
now im running a really shitty build
being a dumb crafter
and not focusing on how best to hit RPL
Yeah thats not for everyone
but
I personally like focusing on one game. Not a multitude.
Back when /rpp existed I would qualify then play something else.
What does that actually SAY about a game. If I'm only there to get qualified for a single reward
Then ready to ignore it for the rest of the day?
Now I can play it continously and not feel like im in a competition or fomo'd or 'oh no what if im too weak ahhhhh'.
etc etc
That's my take on it tho.
RE: I want /rpp - Chance - 04-01-2020
i can say with certainty that /rpp will never return
i believe we should focus on writing enjoyable collaborative stories, and not chasing points. rpp is a carrot-stick method that works, but it should not be at the front and center of everything, and should not be further empathized by this command
RE: I want /rpp - Alex - 04-01-2020
Maybe instead of there been a set 3 hour timer, it should rather be a 3 hour CD between checks. This COULD address some of the issues that Rod has spoken about. You hit the req, and instead of waiting for the timer - you get a check straight away. Then, you have to wait 3 hours before you can get another. If you don't get it on the 3 hour mark, but rather on the 4 hour mark, you get your check after getting the AP requirement. Then you are put on a 3 hour CD.
This way it's nicer than having to wait 3 hours between checks to see if you qualified.
RE: I want /rpp - Chance - 04-01-2020
a cooldown would definitely be better than a timer, i agree. we'll look into it :thumbsup:
RE: I want /rpp - Jumpy - 04-01-2020
☑ Big post with controversial opinion
☑ Bold text in the middle of sentences
☑ ****
☑ Trying to push the PVP aspect of the game
☑ Asks for downvotes
This checks out, this is a real rod5 post.
RE: I want /rpp - Doohl - 04-01-2020
/rpp killed my wife and kids, thank god we took it out back and put it out of its misery
i suggest /rpp be replaced with a joke command like /wrists
just to rub it in...
