There are options but their accessibility wildly varies (largely just by nature). Many Guilds predominantly make use of “Bubble RP”, communities vary wildly due to size and scale (allowing for said issues of headcanon to seep into them with ease and become widespread) and most events rely on the previous two options to be accessible. Established contacts; friends, is really the only and ideal way to get your moneys worth and know that the RP you’re doing will be enjoyable if we’re being honest with ourselves.
On Alliance, these things are conflated both in availability and in issue, because Alliance is a good 70-80% of the realm’s population now, but the points are still, I feel, valid ones in that inaccessibility to the solution is actually the biggest problem for RP in general nowadays (although arguably a better problem to have than the various former ones that used to plague AD).
I still need to finish transferring my lore bible to the not-excel document I’ve got running on my computer.
Also when your masc character is shorter than his partner (who is nonbinary but I’m sure there will be arguments over whether they are male or female.)
I somewhat disagree with this to be honest. If you don’t have the time to invest in a guild and get in with the assorted bubbles/cliques present in those, that’s pretty much exactly what you have to do until you might finally win the lottery ticket and find a person or several that you can start planning repeat encounters and adventures with.
To some extent I believe players can write better, with the caveat that some players care a lot more than the writers about the setting’s consistency, logical framework and its history.
You just can’t trust the prevailing attitude to produce that kind of quality effort…
Finally sitting down to look at the changes to healing in WW and I can see where some designers are wishing to go, they just aren’t putting their full weight on it.
Just do it. Get rid of the spiky dmg already. No one likes it. Do the thing. Make healing about decision making again >I
Don’t make me draw that with the correct height distribution out of spite
