Getting off topic. This isn't about the server exp system. Its about telling us how you spend your time. Do you spend most of your time adventuring, advancing in levels quickly, or do you spend it RPing and moving somewhat slow through the levels? Definitely rp. I love developing characters and seeing where they go, how they respond to other PCs and how they’re responded too. They always surprise me and it’s lots of fun. One of the reasons I write so many journal entries. It really helps in the development to see where my character is heading. I’m very slow with level, but for me the fun is in the rp.

Ok I deleted my first post in this thread because I when I just re-read it, I realized it came off a little whiney and not so clear.
I think I was having a bad day.
In any sort.
Yulena is leveling slow. And the majority of the time I spend with her on this server is socialization with other characters.
This is slowly changing over time though, as Chapter Azure forms up- and we do more expeditions.
Still though- started her in January of 06. She's now level 12. (11cleric) I took roughly a four month break- which puts me at an average of 1 level a month.

Grokan and I (Shade_81) had a long chat about this after we read this, and we both have to wonder about a few things.
I hear time and time again that it's not about the XP, it's about the RP. I tend to agree with this a little more than Grokan does, but both of us agree that for any amount of time put into the character, there should be some sort of advancement, either character development, equipment, or experience. Experience is a no-brainer to figure out if you're gaining. Any step closer to that magical number that indicates an increase in level is a good one. Equipment is easy to figure out as well. Having a +1 weapon or armor where you had a mundane before is always great. Character development is a little harder. It's really hard to RP by yourself, and I and Grokan have both found that it's often difficult for lower levels to find people to RP with.
Now, both of us have experienced this, so now I know it's not just her, and I wonder how many others have experienced this as well: Sitting around in Isinhold is dull as watching rocks grow, and the players that hang around in Isinhold are always in their tight knit little exclusive groups and tend to discourage anyone from outside their little clique from trying to join up with them. And yes, we're probably both guilty of this as well. I started hanging around with Lindora and Naralia when they were around, Grokan was hanging around with Entori, Vestele, or Korista, depending on which character she was on at the time. I'm going to try to get better about it. Expect that if you're pulling together a group and I'm around, Junei is going to make a very cheerful but insistant enterance into your group.
I for one would like to meet more people with my character. I'd like the chance for RP and character development that comes with spending time with other people. Hell, I got a pixie familiar for JUST THAT REASON! If I got a panther, or a pseudodragon, I could solo more easily. I didn't want that. I wanted a familiar I could RP with, and having an intelligent familiar (pixies are int 16, I think) means that I can have her carry on a conversation. And IMO, it's fun as hell to have Junei and Yonia get into arguments while other characters look on, or giggle, or join in or whatever. But it's no fun if I'm doing it by myself. And I find myself by myself all too often, sitting around in Isinhold.
People keep telling me that they love the way I RP my character, or they love the accent, or whatever. But that doesn't seem to translate into wanting my character around while they go out adventuring. So right now, I'd like to ask a question and a favor of the general population of the server.
Do you really like the way I RP my character, or do you just say that? If you're just saying it, don't. I don't RP because I want to get pat on the back for my RP. I RP because it's fun. And it's hard to RP when I'm in the confines of Isinhold all day, which brings me to the favor I want to ask.
If you really do like the way I RP my character, give me a fricking chance! Take me out somewhere with you! Give me the chance to get my pixie familiar out and really get into my RP! I'm a level 6 wizard, and I do know how to keep my vulnerable rear out of combat and out of the way. If you bring me along for *any* reason at all, just bring me along so you can watch and laugh at Yonia and Junei's antics! Just please, not in any huge groups. My computer can't take more than groups of about 5 or 6 (I might be able to stretch that to 7 or 8 if I turn down some of my graphics settings).
---------------- By Grokan:
Um... Yeah, I think Shade summed things up pretty well. And I'll have to admit, I'm a little bit of a powergamer... she's a better RPer than I'll probably ever be. Anyone that's grouped with me has probably noticed that I'd rather not be in a group where I don't get any experience, or get very little. It's because I really do always have my eye on that experience number.
So, it's probably been noticed, or Shade's already told you, I'm on hiatus for a bit. My other roommate finally persuaded me to get back into World of Warcraft, and I've been grinding away at my character there for the last month or thereabouts. I can't really split my attention between two games, so FRC has gone on the back burner. I don't really have any plans in the works to come back to FRC until FRC2 comes out. But when that happens, Shade and I are probably going to be fighting over the one copy of NWN2 we have, to get in to FRC2. I'll probably win, though. Her computer just can't handle it. I've done everything I can think of to get the thing to run on her computer, but it's just doesn't have the specs to run it even minimally.
My apologies for powergaming. Level 10, 8, and 5 after only a few months seems to be a lot of levelling from what I've read here. If I do come back to FRC, expect that I'll be taking notes from Shade, and taking a more laidback approach to levelling. Probably be levelling right alongside her. (Geez, a month to level 6, a week of that level 5-6 alone... It only took me a week to 6, and a level a week or two after that until 9. I guess I really am a powergamer. I just hope that wasn't Metagamer too, though)

One problem I see with Character Development is that people come and go very quickly. Or change characters often. I know I have at time felt discouraged or disappointed in my characters and his direction / development from time to time. I have three other character concepts that I want to do eventually and I have at time been tempted to drop everything and make a new character. However, I stuck it out, kept him going through the bumps and bruises. I lost sight in the middle for a while about where I wanted him to go. But to me that wavering around just makes him more 4D. The longer I am here the more people begin to interact with him. That has nothing to do with his level but instead the time invested in him.
Here is the rub, how can you have any depth to a character if they don’t stick around. I get tired of talking to new people. I don’t know how many I have asked. Where do you come from? Why are you here? Only to learn something about them and then never see them again, usually because the player decided to leave or create a new PC.
I will mention one character that will know who I am talking about but I won’t mention the PC’s name. This PC is a warrior type and as such the stats are probably pretty poor to turn them in to a caster type. If I where going to do that I would have started a new PC and made it more suitable.. However this player choose to change the fighter into a caster and RP the evolution. I think this is pretty admirable because lets face it that is going to be a hard road. The PC won’t have perfect stats but it will have a nice background and development and the time anyone has invested in the PC is not lost.
You see we all have a limited amount of game time and its no fun to put forth character development effort in to another player/ PC that is here today gone tomorrow. For example. I spent this past weekend Rping the entire time with basically one other PC. Now if that PC left tomorrow and where never seen again. That would have been wasted development effort. Sure the RP iteself was fun and very rewarding to enjoy, but it was a building block a starting point. The real fun is going to come seeing where that leads.
That is the main reason new players have a hard time getting someone to engage them more seriously. If you want to have you character develop. You have to have a commitment to play them and keep playing them even if you are unhappy with them at times. I mean if you get torn up emotionally and are thinking of quitting. Then take a break play an alternate character for a while. This is just a game, but it’s a game that gets more interesting as each character gains depth. It gets more fun when strangeness happens and someone does something unexpected and you know its because of RP background issue rather than a stats, alignment or class issue.
So about advancement… You want your PC to be taken seriously you have to RP them. I don’t care if the character is level 1 or level 20. I talked with Shade_81’s character Junei briefly the first time I saw her. Then I talked to Junei again a few days later. Then again a few days later. I noticed the player seems committed to playing her PC. I noticed the player posting on the forums, so I decided to give up some of my game time to this player and took the long slow RP walk from Isnhold to Suzail. It was pretty good walk and the player did a good job during that time of developing the character. Stick out the lonely times and show a commitment to your character. Its what I look for and what I respond to.

I thought I might have been going over the top a bit with having Junei nearly catch a cold from the ogre mage's cone of cold, and then it started raining, but it was still fun to RP. I should have brought Yonia out, but she would have likely died from said cone of cold.

Na.. Its those over the top things that make a trip memorable. Other wise that would just another forgotten walk...

Kinda have to agree with Savage in some ways. It does kinda bite when you rp with someone and then they go 'piff'. Sometimes we can't help it (stuff happens). Other times you make important decisions at 3am (never a good thing). I know I am guilty of such in the past ( and got talked out of doing again...after all who says you can't juggle four and five characters around...I'm doing three now...may end up with a fourth.)
On the note of more characters: I like to play multiple characters and personalities. Its fun. When you have a mind going 90 directions at once, might as well attach a character to a couple of those. It also helps when people who you rp with with one character aren't around and others are.
I had a point somewhere in there. I'll remember it later.

Feel free to correct me here, but I don't think that the number of characters you play hinders anything. Personally I have two characters that I'm playing strongly at the moment and a list a mile long of a few others that I haven't felt like playing for a while now. When one character feels like they're starting to stagnate, I switch.

I been here since May 2006 and this is the first and only server that I have played on, so all I know about Online NWN and RP'ing in a game like this has been learned here. My main character (Lynarra Bearslayer for dem dat dont know) is now 17th Level and probably should be higher (7 respawns and counting this level so far ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png) ) as a person I came up with is in the twenties. Now I get to play all day as I have no job and am old enough not to have a mother moaning about me straining my eyes in front of the computer and my long suffering misses has long ago given up trying to wean me off of anything to do with role-playing games. Because of this and because I like variety I have a number of characters or a variety of different races/sexes/classes/aligns and also different levels. So another reason Lyn is not in her 20's is because I dont play her all the time. All that said I do notice when people rocket up levels and I would say that the rate of advancement has increased since I joined. However I also know I could pair Lyn up with a couple of others and go and hunt giants every now and again or hit advantures I know have good quest xp...and I do if there is a valid RP lead into going. Its the same with my other chars, yes you will see me soloing some of them to get them xp and levels but its not at the exclusion of RP or partying with people, its because whatever rate of advancement your using you still want to advance. Most of the people I share time zone with dont get as much time as me and I will frequently find that I am the only person I know on the server or everyone else is higher level that what I am wanting to play. Now I cant complain about DM rewards, I have seen my share of 'DM Granted Role-Play Bonus' in the time I have been here and a couple of times I been on DM run/intervene quests that have ended in items. But all the awarded XP in china is worth nothing when compared to one of your fellow players sending you a tell and thanking you for the great RP. Mostly when it comes to items I have earned them all myself through adventuring, Lyn being my most item heavy character. Its been a hard slog getting that much gear together and to me its been as much fun as all the levels and whatnot, even though its just stuff you can get in the shops. But all that gear is held on my char inventory, so when after the Redmist riots Lyn was in disguise 'checkin' out the city and could have been stopped, search, confiscated....you know that just added to the experince of playing the game..knowing I could lose it all (and no that is not some hint for a DM to clear my inventory for me ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png) ) I have found that playing on the server that after level 10 with my chars is when I start looking at gear rather than levels, which changes my subconcious 'Metagame' view of the character. But all along the characters life I am RPing it and if I am not happy with the RP of it then I dont play the char. Yes I will also admit to thinking 'who shall I play' and then picking chars that are near to leveling. Yes I will also admit to logging as one character to bring on another because it fits better with which ever mate has just logged in...I get to play all day I dont mind adapting to there 60 mins online. I hate being in parties that dont role-play...just running around and killing things in a party with no interaction is just dull. I been waffeling but thats all stuff thats been through my head while reading through this thread..hopefully it will give an DM's a better understanding of my limited abilities. Oh and for the record as we on advancement in the year I been here: Lynarra Bearslayer 17th level Beladona Almar 12th level Bubble 10th level Ivor Getz 9th level Saranon Kane 9th Mongo Bung 8th level Helga Stoneshaper 8th level Snake 8th level Kara Sandril 7th level Jani Darkeyes 5th level Boris Broadroot 4th level Ferian Rasta 3rd level I make that 100 levels in a year...I am the ultimate powergamer mwahahahahahah *starts coughing uncontrolably*

Let me put it in the most simplistic terms when coming from a DM perspective.
If the first time the DM crew happens to actually notice you and your character is when you're just hitting level 17... then you might want to consider just how fast you're leveling. I generally don't see it as Good Thing and will eye you with suspicion rather then open arms.
Both as a DM and a Player, I will notice someones roleplaying style faster then I would their levels, classes, equipment, or what sort of creatures they can take on. If someone can impress me as playing a character with some depth and personality to them, then they will stick in my mind far quicker and more solidly then someone who's not said a word the 14 times she's passed by, but has 10 levels above your character.
Stick in my mind and I will be more inclined to gravitate towards you while playing in either form. For me, that's what it all basically breaks down to.

Wow, well this thread certainly knocked the wind out of me a bit. 3 Friends and I have been playing again for a couple of weeks now, and we're all pretty much around the level 8 mark. Though obviously things have started to slow down greatly, it seems this is remarkably fast advancement. We most often travel as a party and I'd say that as a group we seem to compliment each others abilities pretty well, though we didn't plan this specifically out of the game and there are definate weaknesses in our strategies. I won't deny that we spend a lot of time travelling around killing stuff. However, mostly it's exploratory - we find new areas then decide to go around them, see what there is, explore further, then enjoy the spoils. IC, as a band of 'adventurers' this makes sense. OOC, we all find it great fun to explore the server, never knowing what's around the next corner. One of my friends said 'I love doing this, reminds me of Baldur's Gate 1'. I'm sure you'll agree that that's one of the highest praises possible to give to a D'n'D game ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png) So yeah, we kill monsters a lot. I'll say this now - our party is generally pretty nasty. We're all not nice people, though some can pretend to be. All our characters get a kick out of killing in some way or another. Two of them are driven by immense greed for material wealth, which comes with the territory. Again the best way for the party to live out these traits is by going around killing things. So we've levelled pretty fast up until now. However, does this mean we're bad RPers? I'd be insulted to hear it. Between our group of four we've already got a heap of conflict, begrudging friendships, and amusing escapades that we play out during these 'crawls'. The greedy ones are always willing to do anything for a quick buck too, and have found themselves getting the team involved in several excursions accompanying others. However, once again I say that evil largely doesn't get along with 'People of Obvious Good + 5' and so these interactions are sometimes difficult, and my character has diffused several situations that ICly would have led to some real nasty fights. During our time we've kept the origins of two members hidden from Thay (to the extent of employing disguises all the time while in Redmist), tried to establish a small information network, attempted to sew seeds of discontent among other PCs, escorted several people around purely for cold hard cash, bluffed our way out of getting killed by a paladin and ending up taking him for a friendly drink, had several drink-fuelled confrontations, become suspicious of what's going on in the Redmist sewers, spied on many-a-person, helped wizards with their mysterious 'research', and countless other things involving other players albeit in mostly subtle ways. Behind all this we've got a metaplot for our guys (a short history) written up and ready to be posted eventually after some fine tuning. So far all this has been with the bare minimum of DM attention - most of the time I think it's a time zone thing, but also because we don't attract it nor ask for it. And we still level fast. And yes, occasionally, we have been known to actually run through parts of a dark dungeon that IC and OOC we've been desperate to get out of. We've also gone through areas where we could dispatch all the monsters extremely quickly with minimal effort... why? So we could see what was at the end of the tunnel, perhaps it would lead downwards, or out into some other area, or give us a key to a door we couldn't open previously, etc. So I'd like to think that while we advance fast, it's pretty much all been completely in character. At the end of the day our characters are nasty bastards concerned with coin and, in a couple of cases, power, and as I said earlier aside from grinding fetch-and-carry quests all the time, killing monsters is usually the best way to go about it. I'd hate to think we've ruined the game for anyone by playing our characters, and once the plan we're formulating IC starts to come together hopefully things will only get better.

I have decided to respond to this thread as a few players have brought up Mencius’ level advancement up in game. Firstly I’d like to say that above all else I prefer Rping, especially as if it advances your characters personality, role in the lands, plot and such. If I didn’t, I’d just play single player. Makes sense to me really. Last thing I want is for a Pc to be a mindless automaton that just runs around killing things. (Though hands up I have been a bad monkey and run about once or twice without bothering to RP while soloing since I have returned to the server in the past few weeks. Sure a DM has spotted me on one of those occasions and I give my apologies to them and everyone else as well. Its just not cricket). On regards to the level advancement, most think Mencius is gaining such high levels easily because of farming, though that is most definitely not the case. I couldn’t imagine anything worse in a server that has so many exciting areas to explore than going over and over again in the same area. Only reason you would catch me in the same area relatively close to the last time I was there (give or take a few RL days) is because he has either mis-teleported there, or I want to explore that area further as I didn’t have a good enough chance beforehand to do so. I feel that some PC’s might advance more, besides the stated reasons in this thread, because of some previous knowledge of the server and knowing your characters limitations. So far Mencius has only died twice (once at lvl 7 I think and the other at level 9 and that last one was PvP and Mencius was “raised” by the player and left near the druids for them to find his body and raise him). I treat any encounter in this game as Mencius would, as if it was life or death. Afterall, what sense is there trying to kill something and risking your life for just a few xp? I will admit that I don’t do the same type of RPing that I used to before I left the server, i.e. sitting in Isinhold and chatting to random strangers but that is because it would be OOC for him to do so. And its also my first time as an evil PC ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) As far as character progression is going Mencius is making good progress ranging from befriending a cabal of necromancers that are actually plotting against Redmist and therefore Thayan interests, to influencing a young elf and causing many to confront and despise him because of it, to having to liaise with Redmist guards about problems that are occurring and also discovering a hin that is an escaped Thayan slave. All in three weeks of play so I hope that many don’t instantly assume Mencius is just running around building levels. Far from it, I have spent hours just sitting and talking to people that deserve his attention is all. Sorry if any feel he isn’t bothering to talk with them whilst in Isinhold because he wants to go out but, well …. he just doesn’t care about you ![:P](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/tongue.png) If any DMs have a problem with Mencius’ level advancement please PM me. I would hate to return to this server on a bad note and I would prefer it out in the open than letting it stew for a while. Enough of my rant I suppose. Just my two cents.

For me it depends on who I am playing. I got my Necromancer(Elbraxus) to lvl 6 in 2 days but only because I need him to be somewhat powerful before he starts RPing alot because not many people like him. On the other hand I have a lvl 1 Fighter I have had for about 2 months that has next to 0 XP because all he does is RP. So in My opinion it depends on your character concept wether or not you adventure more or RP.

Level is never a reason to avoid RP. There's no reason you can't RP with people. Have your character make friends. Do something. But do not just say "I'm not going to RP until I'm a high level". That's really poor policy, espcially considering this is a... roleplaying server.

That's really poor policy, espcially considering this is a... roleplaying server. I have to agree with this, and it is something that took me awhile to get through my head. But now I understand and embrace it and will happily travel with someone even if I don't get any xp due to level difference because its fun rp. Seeing how often I have trouble finding people to travel with actually having the opportunity is great. As an example, the person my character Rhondra, my currently level 6 druid, has traveled with the most last few days is level 16. In this case I am lucky enough to get a little bit of xp but the real fun is in some of the rp that happens, not to mention my level 6 druid throwing call lightning for dear life at a bunch of Gray Slaads we accidentally ran into ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) I want to rp, and when i travel I like to travel with others. When I start to get annoyed with NWN (like I did earlier after having to respawn really close to leveling thanks to the random number generator proving that it isn't) is when I travel alone. When I am able to get into a party of people who are RPing and doing a good job of it, no complaints I love it! Even if they are more than 10 levels over me.

Well I like rping and adventuring sometimes I come on and just stand around in isinhold and chat to whomever with whatever character I have sometimes its fun sometimes its quiet and yo do more standing than talking and that gets old fast. Most days I come on and just go out adventuring, I hook up as fast as I can with somebody anybody because interraction making friends for your character and seeing new things is a lot of fun. As for levelling well Nuras 18th, Zens 16th, guldas 16th, ranalds 12th, elisas 12th, parsifals 11th, braks 10th, varrrus 9th, bran 8th and larn 8th. I dont doubt If I only played nura she would be epic now as I tend to play around 12 hours a day 7 days a week and been doing that for about a year. That said there is still a huge chunk of the server I simply havent explored theres quests I havent done dungeons havent explored and thats great, main thing is I have had fun. If any my chars stalled and dont seem to get played thats either because their friends and allies all simply levelled to point playing with them wasnt reasonable or themselves stopped showing up. Those chars are still available to join if the server when I come on is stuffed with low level characters I can swap and join in the fun without being too far from average group level. Suppose what Im saying in my own rambling way is levellings nice but its not everything theres a lot of sheer fun romping around the server with pals new and old trying not to get killed ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png)

That's really poor policy, espcially considering this is a... roleplaying server. Its not that he never rp's its just he doesn't rp alot yet... Also I tried to make friends and succeded in making one, everyone else either shunned me, killed me, or just flat out ignored me.

People don't react well to characters who are described as looking and smelling as close to a lich as is possible without actually being one. Just saying.

Sometimes being shunned comes with the territory. You just have to find the right people.

And powerleveling to get the ability is absolutely what the server is about, not perhaps role playing and creating alliances with those who want the same people dead or are willing to protect you... not at all.... and for the record FRC is under the Arena list in gamespy, not RolePlay *nodnod*

I think either Sloth should use the direct approach and say that PG'ing is NOT what this server is about or someone needs to look up the the meaning of the word 'Sarcasm' and then needs to reread Sloths post lol.

I have locked this thread because of its potential to turn into a flame war.
The final note is this: all players must reflect on themselves to keep themselves in line with making the game fun for all. We want all our players to have fun so long as it falls within the rules of the server. Don't be concerned with others, and just ask yourself, "Am I having fun because of the RP I create?" All players should ask this of themselves before getting on their high horse and throwing stones in a glass house.
