Game Discussion / Opinions about the new RP system
« on: December 18, 2017, 01:08:31 pm »
First of All: These are MY OPINIONS
Right, some people would say that there is no change about the role playing on Feral Heart but from my view, things have drastically changed since I first joined. It was about lets say 2014/2015 and everyone on the server would greet you back or reply to you when you talked to them. There were about three types of groups you would expect to find, the first group I would like to call would be the role players. Very self explanatory, these people you would find were either on local or a private chat role playing (cause that's what you really did those 3-ish years ago). Secondly, there was a group of the AFK people. Again, that name is pretty self explanatory. These people used to just sit in a pose for the next 30 minutes till they disconnected. Finally, the last group is the chatterboxes, always speaking to each other of either how they want to improve the game, about their special packs/maps, any new RPs they would like to join, any opinions about the game. They really just talked about anything Feral Heart related OR talk about their lives outside of the computer.
Anyway, my opinion I want to get across is that nowadays I think people are starting to get more 'picky' about how they do things. Just a note, I am not saying everyone is or either am I trying to call people out and offending them.
So now when I get onto Feral Heart and try to scope out the new RPs or groups, all I see are either people who tend to ignore you when you talk to them (I am not saying trying to talk to AFK people, some people move their head and stuff and not even listen to you) and I also see people making video clips about RPs which need maps, special packs and other download-needed requirements (if that makes any since xD).
LITERATE ROLEPLAYING
In my opinion, I feel this was the main feature that made the semi-old days extinct. Literate Roleplaying. Oh boy, this has basically been the cause of everything going differently. Not only has Feral Heart released a new 'improved' version of Feral Heart (might be coming up in a different post) but the people who have joined the new version also brought a new system with them. This was basically the birth of Literate Roleplay. Why do I dislike Literate Roleplaying so much? because it's like the Norman's Feudal System brought all over again. I don't like Literate Roleplaying because it brings value and showing off into the game really. What if a new player joined the game and expected it to be a nice friendly environment, a nice place where they can finally satisfy their craving of a good animal roleplay (Like come on guys, you don't find many 3D animal games out there anymore with proper chat filters). They may still find the friendliness but definitely won't be able to join any of the RPs because they all require you to know how 'Literate Roleplay'. Also can I point out the fact that literate means able to read and write. I came on recently after the new big update and found out I was denied by every single group of RPs just because I was confused when they said 'You don't know how to literate role play'. I was so confused and decided to look it up, if it wasn't for Kyureshirom's post I wouldn't even know what it meant! (make sure to check out their post, it contains some basic rules aswell)!
What I mean to say about setting different values is that people start setting ranks to others. If you think about me getting denied by all those groups I could have been classified as a 'newbie' to the game without explaining what really happened. Just think about it. It is sorting people into groups. To prove my point with some backup, you can even scroll down some of the RP Group Board sections and Help Page Sections and find people who have a post that literally have the title saying 'Can someone teach me to RP'. They already know how to RP it's just they don't know how to 'Literate' RP.
Couple more things to point out, I think it's kinda dumb to not use dialog in an RP. Somebody correct me if this acutally is a Literate RP rule.
Anyways that's all I have for this post, let me know if you disagree or agree and why. Just because I'm nosy and curious.

EDIT: I know this seems more of a discussion, but it is also a suggestion the community is making to each other, I think it has given loads of people a chance to speak about the subject and realise they just may want to change a bit and help the idea. I am not however, telling people they are wrong and have to change and that their way of doing things are unacceptable but just to give a notice. You can see examples of how the community can improve in the reply section and see how many people found this post as a chance to really ask or explain their situation in game. This really is (kind of) a suggestion to improve, just not directly from the moderators ect. but something that we together can work on to improve the game. Hope this post helps
