I challenge each and every one of you:
For one week, when you log into UO, you will close down every messenger you have. Ventrilo, ICQ, AIM, MSN, IRC, Skype, Yahoo, everything. While the game is running and you are roleplaying, you will have no OOC contact with the other players of this game.
This includes party chat, guild chat, alliance chat, and OOC brackets. Don't accept party, disable guild chat and alliance chat in your options menu.
One week. Post if you are going to do it, post when you have done it. I am thoroughly intrigued by this concept and want to see who does it. |

I'd do it if I still RP'd in UO. But this is basically going to happen in NWN2 as is *cough* _________________

It's impossible. I tried it last Summer. I ended up living in someone else's house in a land claimed by an active guild for a week, idling in it ;( |

Well.... that's how I rp already. i'm usually not in a guild, people rarely party me unless it's important... and look at me, I rp cause I like to, not because I like the people i'm rping with (no offense, of course, I don't hate anyone, except for spawn ) _________________ Stopped by January 2022, technically on the discord server. |

I would do it if I was online and in game at a normal prime rp time.
I have long said, that outside communication has caused more harm than good for this rp community.
Doesn't matter, though ... few listen to me. _________________ "He's been fired from the Shrimp Boat?" -- Charlaine Harris "Living Dead In Dallas." |

I tried to do that as much as possible simply to avoid the OOC problems that were between the roleplayers of this community. It helped, but it also sort of left me out of the mix. Suffice to say, apparently your only a roleplayer if you pick a side.  _________________ AKA: Gryss ab'Arawn

Personally, I don't understand it. I've never, NEVER, had ooc problems in m time playing. There have been minor bickers, but never complete problems. I've always gotten along, and I simply don't understand how some people can hae somany problems. |

Is that because I live in the same county as you? Anyway, I'll give this idea a swing. Weeeeeeeeeeeeee _________________

hehe!!!!
I have drown a few times not paying attention.........
Actually I have done this on occasion.. shut down everything and just played for the pure enjoyment of it and it was very nice. I personally feel I need at least icq up if for no other reason then to keep up with my members and be able to be contacted by other gm's if there is a problem with any of them. If I get icq's about any of the drama or gossip about other players I tend to ignore it unless it directly affects me. I have otherwise removed myself from vent servers and chatrooms that feel the need to dramatize or gossip about others 24/7 and basically remove my headset if I feel something being talked about is headed that way. I dont have many issues with the ones I do use as they are more or less general chatter and friendship, offer some help in cases or information that is needed to be conveyed and tend to be postive most times. If I feel bombrded with the bs I just shut things down and go on my merry way. I have noticed though that if you ignore the bs, drama and gossip icq's eventually they stop being sent to you ....
Just my opinion. |

NWN2 is out.
Playing it is free, other then the buying of the game. Hense the appeal of it for many. _________________ Good friends are like stars. You don't always see them but you always know they are there...
