Some updates i would like to talk to everyone about.


 * 1) Metagaming
 * 2) Powerplaying
 * 3) Character Development.

Metagaming Metagaming.

Metagaming means that you're giving OOC information to your character. You may have seen me (Jordie) doing it. Or well, so you think. My characters: Most of them are overpowered yes, but all have an IC reason for doing it. Now, you may think... "Well! That's unfair!" Yes, you might think so, or even say so. But i am the one creating the character development in Surenia. I make the roleplays which directly impact your character in the ways of shocking combat, or even horrifying moments. Sometimes even good moments. But even if you see me or my characters doing it, is not reason for any character of yours doing so.

Powerplaying Powerplaying.

Powerplaying means that you're dodging every move, that your characters has eyes all over his body. This is not true. I've seen multiple people, doing this. And yes, i am doing it. But the difference is most of my characters are godlike. Reason is explained in metagaming. Even little things can be called powerplaying. Not being scared of something while never having experienced it before. Take the example of the roleplay of yesterday. Everyone has read it. Ryan, Blaze, Lorenzo and Me. The one in the pub. Ryan in this case was roleplaying his character awfully. Completly out of character. I've seen him roleplaying better. Even for Goblins he was scared at the start, but when two godlike characters are engaging in combat he simply raises his hand and makes a comment about it? No, an unexperienced character like that should be horrified. Especially after witnessing something like this. Hell, even Blaze's Character Richard 'Lonewolf' Darkblood should've been scared. Now, i will not do anything serious about this. But i do want to warn everyone of focusing more on roleplays. If you can't roleplay properly. Or not even try to get into an RP, do not roleplay. It's simple.

Character Development Character Development

Character Development is what makes your character. Think it through each time you roleplay. If you can't remember what your character did, it's not made for you. Delete your character. Now, what i am saying is. Experiences. Take a regular peasant who has never seen magic before. He may even believe Magic is not real. Because he had never seen so. Now take murder, imagen how shocking it would be if someone would suddenly get killed right next to you. These things are important. And your character can change everytime he sees and learns something new. Keep in consideration how your character is. This is Important!

Conclusion I would like each and everyone of you to think these words through, because everyone has made mistakes. And i'm talking about everyone. Now, all i ask is that you see your own mistakes and try to improve your roleplay from now on!
