• 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.

Hello there!
I've noticed quite a bit that some people (not naming anyone) take RP a biiit too seriously. What I mean with that is; They start disliking someone or hating someone OOCly for something that happened in RP, which isn't right. What someone does in RP does not reflect what they would do OOCly. As in- If someone, let's say harassed someone in RP, that doesn't mean they are harassing you. They don't have any disliking towards you as a person, just maybe some spite towards your character.

So, if anyone is doing this, please keep in mind that you can't hate someone for something they did in RP. If they were rude OOC, or you don't like them OOCly, that's fine. Just don't say that if someone is for example playing a prostitute that they're a whore OOCly as well. That isn't right.

RP does not reflect someone IRL. RP is Roleplaying. They're playing a character, they're not hating you. Their character can have a grudge against your character, sure, but that doesn't mean they have a grudge on you OOCly.

Keep these points in mind when roleplaying. Rp≠OOC/IRL

Anyway, t'was all. Enjoy your day and Happy Thanksgiving!
 
Aha. Lucky that Ghirk isn't like that, or we never would have talked. I mean, I still aplogised, but she was so lovely about it and now we're friends. @Ghirko
 
What I always recommend is that if you are going to form a long standing IC rivalry to reach out to the person OOC so that way you both can develop some sort of positive relationship so that throughout the course of the rivalry you both can remain calm and happy as the story progresses. Sometimes just knowing someone can take the edge off.

I wholeheartedly agree with this. It is important to have some kind of positive relationship through rp grudges-be it that you are friends, or that you split the rp up with lighthearted comments in ooc chat, just so that there is no harsh edge to the roleplay. If you feel a negative relationship is building, don't let it continue. Message the person and clear the air. Don't let your characters affect how you view people oocly. They are characters, and they are not the same as the player.
 
i always seemed to meet people that got mad at my characters just being assholes who then decided that any new characters they make will hate my character no matter what. i loved it.

Awww ;-; We should RP sometime then, I don't hate you

Also yeah totally agree with this, I totally have felt like this in the past until I realize their char is just salty about everything or something to that effect, lol~
 
I have had a couple situations in which I've held distaste toward people due to RP situations. Conflicts and arches ended prematurely just because someone wanted to win, a couple nagging doubts at a character's abilities when they clearly don't make sense, people who want to RP with me just so they can use and abuse my characters, stuff like that. However, I have yet to see someone actually act that way toward me due to RP alone (I usually annoy them OOC too). I've seen it happen to others, which is very unfortunate because both parties usually refuse to admit that OOC hatred and sarcasm stemmed from a sour situation that came from one or both of them not wanting to be considerate. Someone then makes an indirect, snide comment directed at someone in a public setting, and then it all blows up from there because they can only act in private, or they call them out then and there with their friends hopping aboard when they really shouldn't. As far as rivalries and full-scale nemesis callings, I've found them impossible to have without finding some great respect to the person behind it. It's such a wonderful thing to befriend your IC enemies, especially because of the collaboration that then can happen because you're able to speak on good terms. The best role-play I have ever had, which only happened a couple days ago, was between someone I'm now becoming better friends with, given that we both were willing to push back our schedules by just another 40 minutes so we could reach the resolution to our interaction. If that's not something I'll remember throughout my time here, I don't know what is.
 
roleplay can definitely impact how I view someone OOCly- but that's only if I feel like someone's character is disrupting roleplay instead of fueling it or something. I've also found that people commonly break the the 4th wall IC to address OOC issues with another person's roleplay. I'm definitely guilty of this in the past but I've since realized how passive-aggressive and counterproductive it is. especially since people commonly do this with less experienced roleplayers.

I'm happy to have IC rivals and conflict though! I don't mind a character being an asshole or being attacked at all, in fact I welcome it. hopefully I haven't ticked anyone off much due to my IC actions omg. no one's seemed to be mad at me for it- I've made some mistakes before but people are usually nice and forgiving.
 
Well this blew up a lil bit during the night but damn, seems more people have noticed it! It truly is something that needs to be spoken about, so if anyone has another story with a situation like this then go ahead and tell it if you want! Did it end in more conflict or did you resolve it?
