cheers. iâm about to pop off on twitch thanks to this
Ah. It seems my Display Pic has entered the Shadow Realm.
Well then.
Omega seems quiet as a crypt compared to Balmung, no cap. Thatâs todayâs observation.
i was slouched at a weird angle and sat up because i thought this was wooper
my disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined.
Could my health stop being terrible/being very potentially scary for a while? At all? Please?

Chaos DC RP has been monopolised by a cabal of players who think tavern roleplay is the ultimate pinnacle of narrative and character development.
Good luck finding anything beyond Second Life RPers there.
Loras confirmed coomer
Can say the same for Light, all we have is nightclubs and bath houses and we all know they come with an 18+ tag
And even the tavern tavern ârole-playâ (imagine me fingering the quotations out IRL because I donât believe that playing yourself embodied in a virtual character is role-playing) is just an attempt to ground their ERP in the community.
Of course, if you do not partake in their cult behaviour you are immediately shunned and God forbid you attempt to foster some actual RP in the community.
Ngl anyone whose first instinct is to go ânyeh tavern roleplayers!!â probably needs to touch grass. If thatâs what people enjoy, then thatâs what people enjoy and thereâs precisely nothing wrong with that.
Gatekeeping what is/is not good roleplay is very 2015. People can do whatever they like, provided they donât force it on others (and nobody can be forced to go into a tavern to do âsecond life RPâ).
I really donât miss the old days of gatekeeping.
Tavern roleplayers are the ones gatekeeping people wanting to play you know
Adventurers in a high fantasy universe.
Proper roleplay is what I personally find compelling and nothing else!!
My only problem with FF tavern RP is thereâs always someone trying to get some ERP out of it. Doubly so if you make your stance clear on it being a hard NO to that, it wonât deter them.
I think tavern RP can be fun, but I think going out in the world instead of someones basement is more fun personally.
They can be coerced. Come on, you know what itâs like when a certain group does their best to foster a specific kind of behaviour and dismiss any other. Itâs genuinely a cult-like system, itâs like the PCU if they were the only community on the server. Speaking from experience here.

Surely people are allowed to prefer what they prefer.
Yeah â unfortunately, people whose sole objective in RP is ERP will always be around. Itâs just a matter of learning to notice the signs and curating your experience as best you can.
But that doesnât invalidate that tavern RP is a tried and tested way to encounter other players, engage with new crowds, and get an easy source of interaction for your designer blorbo.
Well, thatâs my whole point. Banging on about second life roleplayers (silly term anyway) when all theyâre doing is what they prefer is just a pointless and petty exercise. Theyâre not doing anything wrong.
I wouldnât even go as far as that.
Roleplayers are on average very lazy and want to be fed RP, so they go to where the greatest concentration of people are which happen to be the taverns - because that is the only thing you are allowed to promote by the cabal.
What happens? A bunch of people who donât really fit together in a Second Life tavern.
Iâd forgive them if there was no way to actually RP in the game but thereâs literally addons that make RP in FF14 easier and more accessible than anything in WoW. Square Enix added âExploration Modeâ to all their instanced content for small party focused adventures.
Nah iâll sit in my Doman noodle shop in the Ishgard housing ward watching the same three cat girls do /rollplay fight club âduelsâ.
The old town brawls now resemble old kaiju movies. Big means I win.
I donât know much but the discourse reminds me of the obnoxious âorcs are black peopleâ tripe from a couple of years ago. Iâm listening but it seems like another excuse to get mad by people unfamiliar with a given thing aside from the controversy the internet decided on.
Itâs stupid, basically denying yourself a platform and mocking others for using it. Cutting off your foot because of these hoity-toity people and their low effort âwalkingâ.
