No, I’m saying people who shut their threads down after suffering the usual critique do so out of a feeling of not being welcome. It’s a bit of an overreaction. People can do their pve’s and pvp’s but in the context of knowing, accepting and to at least some extent participating in what is intended to be a RP server.
We’re protective of our server because it’s functionally the one last roleplaying server in the game after every other was overwhelmed by the pve and pvp people who had no interest in participation, viewing roleplayers as quaint entertainment to watch at best or nerds to be bullied at worst. We don’t want that on AD. Many of us migrated here to get away from that and keep a community. That’s all it is.
If you join a pve server you’d be expected to pve. On a RP server you’re quite reasonably expected to RP.
