• Inventory Split Incoming

    MassiveCraft will be implementing an inventory split across game modes to improve fairness, balance, and player experience. Each game mode (Roleplay and Survival) will have its own dedicated inventory going forward. To help players prepare, we’ve opened a special storage system to safeguard important items during the transition. For full details, read the announcement here: Game Mode Inventory Split blog post.

    Your current inventories, backpacks, and ender chest are in the shared Medieval inventory. When the new Roleplay inventory is created and assigned to the roleplay world(s) you will lose access to your currently stored items.

    Important Dates

    • April 1: Trunk storage opens.
    • May 25: Final day to submit items for storage.
    • June 1: Inventories are officially split.

    Please make sure to submit any items you wish to preserve in the trunk storage or one of the roleplay worlds before the deadline. After the split, inventories will no longer carry over between game modes.

Everyone seems to have their own opinions on what vampires are supposed to act and look like. I just want to hear your opinions. Can they be good, and only feed off of animals? Or are they all evil demon worshippers who kill and drink corpse blood? You tell me!
This is my input on appearance
I personally don't believe any vampire is not going to drink human blood given the chance and that they were starving of bloodlust.

Creepy but not too unrealistically scary to not even look human anymore?
Unfortunately, this is what most of our fellow vampire friends on Massive look like.

It's not really the vampires, it's the players who portray them. They have ruined a lot of roleplay activity, and there's only a select few who RP properly as a vampire. It's really sad, more than anything.
 
Honestly if you look back to vampire history the entire story was created in medieval times, when food was scarce, vampires represented gluttony and the sin of eating more then you needed, in a world like regalia where food is readily available and starvation isn't feared they lose their effect. Werewolves were created as a story to tell the horrors of someone suddenly snapping and going off killing people, they were meant to drive the fear of that split second moment of rage before killing someone. But these no longer have their effect in modern days because we no longer fear gluttony/starvation or the chance of someone going off on us and beating us to death, why do you think so many bad movies about them come out? They have no fear drive and that makes them just plain silly.
 
It is really pitiful that people have different opinions and have seen Twilight, isn't it? >.> (partial) sarcasm...
I still want to know what you guys think!

We don't fear starvation or gluttony? I beg to differ. We don't fear physical beating? Also beg to differ. Frickle frackle, have you seen the Middle East lately? D:

I will admit I've seen Twilight... (The books were ten times better >,<") But I see vampires differently than sparkly twinkletoes. Much more like blood-sucking humans... The pictures seem accurate to me, only when they're about to feed though, otherwise they look like humans. That's just my opinion though. (And I have read better books than Twilight, but at the time *I think I was twelve* it was a great book... if vampires weren't sparkly, I was a werewolf gal huehue)
 
I believe the vampire role-play has been getting very crappy lately. Isn't it supposed to be secretive ?
And I do agree that they're trying to give off a modern emo look, but thats not at all what it is. People forget this is medieval.
 
Maybe, have an application for being a vampire? Where players answered certain things and must have a vampire looking skin.
 
Agree with Sir_Sherburne...you apply for it AND you have to do a quest/instance (like those fun quests ships) to make it more challenging to become a vamp and not have new players use their spawn silver to "buy" vampire blood

(And make it removable some how so vampirism becomes a secret and rarer...everytime they lose it.. :D time to head to the forums and quests ships XD)

PS: maybe to hit with a torch, burn, and then stake them or sword them with iron? (burn, stake through the heart, behead: to effectively kill a vampire and stop them from raising back) just some ideas, because there are a lot of new
players who run around "GIMME YO BLUD!!!" or " -bites his neck draining all his blood and making him a vampire" OR " - gets on one knee and says to the woman- Will you *SSHHRRRIIIEEKK* me? </3"
 
There isn't really such a thing as a 'vampire looking skin'. Vampires are only distinct physically in that they should be paler than the average human and have fangs.

Part of the fun in being a vampire, is that they aren't supposed to look completely obvious. It is supposed to be secretive-not the Emo, goth look that screams 'I'm a Vampire!'

I know that Aria dressed darkly as a vampire and somewhat had that look when she was one, but it was the first skin I had ever attempted making/ playing with xD

As for roleplay- People should be more secretive as vampires. Even though Aria LOOKED like a vampire, the majority of the time she was able to convince people she was completely a completely normal human. Vampires don't necessarily have to act evil, but people should be able to play their characters smartly enough to recognize when vampires instincts should be triggered, when they should hunt, and to not go burning to death in the sun in front of a guard -_- or in general really...
 
I think people think vampire roleplay is crappy because good vampire roleplay isn't obvious. If you're doing it right, they won't immediately know you're doing it at all, etc. etc.

As far as good or evil, I think they can be generally good individuals, but if drinking the occasional human dry is considered "evil" then oh well lole. A conflict of interests I suppose.


I'm not really into the idea of making actual restrictions and formalities on who gets to be one though, personally. As painful as some of the RP is, I prefer the freedom over making an ordeal out of it.
 
Honestly I know people say that the fact that I am a vampire its obvious due to my mc skin, but truth be told, I would use the same style if I wasn't a vampire. I make it to where people suspect and strongly feel Blake is a vampire but no one really has any proof and asking someone if they are and it turns out they aren't, you could really offend people like this. Sides thats just how he dresses.

Now aside from the vanity I just spoke of, I do agree with the fact that vampires should be evil bloodsuckers, with methods close to Dracula's for example keeping prisoners without them even realizing they are prisoners, vampire's victims should feel welcome and safe, possibly even to the point where they are being killed and don't even realize it.
This is a reason I like Crimson RP so much, it can help prevent vampires from being so open and truth be told, if you compared the amount of open vampires there are now to the ones there were back in the days of SilverEdge, the amount of open vampires has seemed to have dropped a bit due to fear of Crimsons.

I love posts like these but they feel rather ineffective due to the fact the people who are really bad at proper vampire behavior do not use the forums and therefor do not see things like this. Perhaps if certain vampires can get a good enough reputation they can be well spoke of in game as rumored vampires and can be seen as feared by most people, thus raising their popularity, this can give these other vampires something to look up to as a vampire and inspire them on how vampire behavior should be. "Hey that guy is well known, he must be doing something right..."
 
I have said this before, and I'll say it again. There can be no "good" vampires. A vampire's very existence gives power to MrsBaver. This is the case whether the vampire wants it to be so or not. MrsBaver also has the power to control vampires if she wants. That said, no good person would be willing to condone this, and would want to be cured. There is a cure, it is easy to access, and if the person does not take the cure, that is their problem and they will have to deal with the consequences. Vampires are supposed to feed on humans, not so much the other races (which they have no power to infect as it stands anyway). The problem is that while in role-play technically humans greatly outnumber the other races, player-wise most are anything but human. This removes a lot of player-based fear towards vampires, for they cannot become infected. Why should a elf, dwarf, or orc player have any concern towards vampires when they cannot be infected?

Then of course.....there are the nub-vamp-trolls. These are the people screaming in global that they want to be infected, or that they are a vampire and are willing to infect others. Even worse are the ones screaming that they are the exceptional vampire, one of the "few good ones," which as I explained above doesn't exist. These people frustrate me to no end, and telling them to go read the lore is the only way to keep myself from searching the online map and going nub-vamp-troll-hunting.

Very few factions, let alone people, seem intelligent enough to actually read the lore and play a vampire correctly. A shining example of such excellence can be found with Techpack and his faction. Though an evil faction, I am more than willing to call them allies, for they play evil correctly.

I won't imply vampires should look like this. At least, not all the time.
 
I think the majority of the horrible vampire RP comes from new players who decide to become vampires before they can sustain themselves. Which usually leads to them begging for blood on the street whilst screeching obnoxiously.

Exactly.

When I roleplayed Aria as a vampire, I roleplayed her as a good person. However she disliked being a vampire, yet couldn't understand why she couldn't bring herself to get cured. The moment she recognized how the dark disease was truly affecting her, she took notes on it and then cured herself. She was never a vampire at heart haha.

if I ever play another character that is a vampire, I would not roleplay this way again. It was just specific to her character
 
In my opinion, the vampire plugin is an incredibly well done one, especially for something like a mythical creature (compared some of the werewolf plugins out there) but it attracts the wrong king of people, twitards and weeaboos are scurring to the server so they can be a KAWAII DESU VAMPIRE-CHAN ^_____^, they make commotions in regalia on a regular basis in some kind of equal rights movement, i know there are loads of good vampire RPers out there, but the "hi im lyk soooo vamp :-) XDD" type vampires are making all vampires seem like them, the kind that shreiks in the tavern, the kind that flaunts their vampirism and can do so because PvP is disabled, the kind who makes their skin an emo hoodie with pale skin and red eyes.

Its starting to become a problem
 
Midnight Mass is a horror novel I read a while back about vamps. I personally loved it. They want nothing but blood. They'll be civil and speak to humans, as long as it gets them blood. They need little to survive, but would bathe in it if possible. They are quite plainly, filled with greed. For blood. They look somewhat paler than humans but otherwise normal (like your photos). But with one exception, if one vamp infects another, that one retains less intelligence/civility/etc. So as you go further down the line of vamp heritage... they get more and more savage until finally they're just an animal used by their intelligent brethren as cannon fodder to spread terror... On a side note- almost all vamps drink human blood. They just ask a friend to give 'em a drink when away from the livestock.
