The Problems Facing Role-players
When we asked about the biggest challenges for players trying to run their own events or even enjoy small scale RP it boiled down to a few core issues:
Not enough tools to run/organize a personal event
Limited locations/settings you can use during your events
Griefing & interruptions from PvP
Rest assured, we’re currently researching and looking into systems that aim to reduce or remove these challenges and enable you to do more – What’s an example? I hear wedding bells! As our first step towards providing you with the ability to enhance your own RP experiences we’ll be introducing Weddings as a new feature in a future update. You’ll get the rings, the dress, the tux and even a place to hold the ceremony if you want to use it (or have it wherever you like.) Expect more details as these features are developed!
Another topic was also mentioned quite a few times and one I look forward to working with the community on is education. New or existing players being intimidated or unaware of RP who might otherwise enjoy it. During the town hall I reached out to several individuals who already had involvement in helping to educate players about RP and we look forward to supporting their continued efforts.
We intend to hold future RP town halls once we have more to talk about and build on each discussion with input directly from the RP community – until then you can often find Krunkatron in the Role-play Forum where we encourage you to continue sharing your feedback!
Thanks for playing,
Elrar & Krunkatron
