So people who do not RP in dungeons should migrate off of AD?
Maybe if you fantasize up a scenario where someone has said you need to rp 24/7, yes
But in actual reality peope with 0 interest in the hobby at all are just unwanted

If an RP server means you’re supposed to RP, and you want everyone who doesn’t off, pretty much means you want them to RP 24/7. And that’s just stupid.
But even if we don’t go that far, the gatekeeping is equally idiotic. It’s nothing more than a circlej*rk, that prevents anyone else from joining. It makes you nothing but a toxic, elitist prick.
A true roleplayer will not gatekeep, but try to show how RP is fun. Trying to keep people not (yet) interested in it is counter productive.
So go take that attitude elsewhere, and let AD be a welcoming realm.

Certainly.
To people who are interested in RP.
People who have 0 interest in roleplay whatsoever simply have no place on the only roleplay realm on EU that still has more than a double digit number of RPers.
If basic standards to you are toxic elitist gatekeeping then I don’t know what to tell you other than get real

So, you gatekeep. Instead of welcoming everyone and showing them how fun RP can be, you tell them to just go away.
Well done. That’s going to help lure more people into RP.
And people wonder why the number of RPers diminish when we have people like this.

Huh… What the heck is this dumb logic?
100% gatekeep from people who have NO interest in rp

It’s the same logic used to make dumb statements that you MUST RP on an RP realm. Just go a step further in the idiotic gatekeeping.
Right… Like you would go to a chess club to… Not play chess?
No one is saying you have to rp 24/7
Not quite the same thing, but yes, I would, if I had friends there, or the coffee was good, or for a whole lot of different reasons.
In fact, a little personal story to show how stupid and harmful gatekeeping is: my own.
I came to AD with 0 interest in roleplaying. I came to AD because my girlfriend wanted to roll a char here to RP, and I followed. For quite a while, I did not roleplay, but I watched her and others engage in it. Eventually, I figured I’ll try this RP thing too, it looks fun. So I joined in, became IC in /s, acted as my character would, had lots and lots and lots of fun. Attended events, even organized some. Later on, this evolved into roleplaying outside of the game too: I started to play D&D, even learned how to DM. All thanks to roleplayers of AD being welcoming.
But sure, go ahead and drive people away.

We are according to the druid here. Shrugs

Sorry but no, you would be asked to leave if you weren’t planning to participate. It’s a chess club not the local bar.
Sounds like you’re just mad because you’re on the wrong realm mate

Nope, I wouldn’t. How do I know? I’ve been to plenty of chess club meetings with 0 intention to play chess.

Right, and you calls us pricks… You know you are portraiting yourself as a egotistical jerk who cares little for the space And people around him right?
“I give zero f for chess I just want the free coffee.”

Not having an intention to participate does not equate having no respect. I was invited by friends to watch, talk, have fun, even if I don’t participate in playing chess itself.
Quite similar to how I ended up being on AD, and how I was turned from someone with zero intention to RP into a roleplayer.
Because the people were welcoming, rather than gatekeeping.

I’m welcoming to those that use the realm for their intend porpuse, or plan too. Those that don’t, there are plenty of other realms.
I care little for those who are just here to take advantage of rpers goodwill.
So you have absolutely no intention of showing people who aren’t yet interested in RP that RP is fun?
You’d rather keep potential roleplayers off the realm, because you’re too lazy and too elitist to spread the love for RP?
Good god.
