Teras in the shitter?

[allen]

Is it me or does it seem like Teras is quickly spiraling down? Seems everyday people are, not so much fighting, but just doing gld skills, casting harmless spells on each other, for amusement, at the statue. It seems I'm the only one that finds it annoying. I guess that's just the way it's gonna be, makes me not wanna stay, oh well. Was just wondering if anyone had the same feeling as me, or if I was just too uptight.

Some of the stuff isn't that big of a deal.. it'when when known trouble makers move in that make me want to leave. As for the other stuff (guild skills, casting harmless spells, getting boxes picked and chit chatting) isnt that part of what a rest area is for? Granted it gets busy.. but the only thing I saw in all that that annoyed me was those idiots Nikihiln and Revon. Maybe thats just me.

[Edited on 4-24-2005 by Kainen]

You must be easily annoyed because I only casted two spells. One was by mistake and the other was at Nikhilan to stop him from tackling Phye.

What I also realized was that you easily looked over Celinaye's constant casts at Nikhilan. I guess it just depends on the person doing it.

Vaalor really isnt that bad.

Xand grew up there and still hunts there. It has it's share of morons, but then again every town does. The only difference is Vaalor's morons are generally low level.

[Fallen]

Pity, I had some plans to move here. Does there seem to be any worthwhile roleplay taking place within the town?

[allen]

Lockpicking and the chit-chat was just in the mix of all the attacking, my post was generally about the senseless attacking. Had this happened a year ago, these people would of been bound and silenced, maybe even killed. Seems like noone plans to keep the town in order anymore. And it is a great town to live in, just not so great at the moment. Hunting is the best I've found, nice and close, people spell ya for free, rescue ya most the time. Just few people ruin it for the bunch, you know how it goes.

[Burnt out Priestess]

Teras is a great town and granted i would be there right now if they had higher hunting grounds for those of us Teras residents that are past hunting age there,I hope to hell the gods bring in higher creatures there so we can all return home and restore the isle to how it once was.

Is this the proper "RP" response to other people casting spells at people. I dunno seems kinda hypocritical to complain about people casting and being a nuisance and then wish for times when older people just cast spells on those people.

[allen]

There's a difference when someone binds you once for failing to hit someone with sleep 16 times in a minute.

[TheRoseLady]

That looked alot like the dais and even the cavern in the rift. I watched an empath trading spells with a bard last night, they were playing. I see guild skills going on...

Truthfully the most civilized I've seen gatherings of late was in RR, but that place is low on people. :lol:

[Czeska]

RP on Teras depends a lot on when you're there. Just like anywhere else. If the statue gets like that, I just go camp out somewhere else if I'm not hunting. It's still a good town.

[Showal]

I think it's funny that Revon has 3 posts ... all of which are to defend stupid things he's doing.

[fallenSaint]

While I was out there the place wasnt too unorderly, a few kids thought they'd be cute and harrass and annoy. One was killed a few times and the others just died out. But generally people are usually quite helpful with one another there.

Oh and theres the one Empath who thinks the world hates him when his antics aren't appreciated but easily ignored in my case.
