Ofcourse you can continue to write stories via the in-game messages. But you will not get rewarded for them.

So if you wonder why you didn't get any points for writing a novel via the in-game message system, this is why.

So no more stories......

:(

I might have to start doing that, better then what fizban keeps sending me!

My lord! From the deepest of my heart, I swear that I shall not take great emphasis on mere words, for MORTAL COMBATS speaks louder with actions. I shall claim the title of Paladin by delivering honour and courage in battles.

I shall become the greatest strategist that will have walked these realms (General) or I shall become the wisest (Sage) however, know this Sun. Thou shalt not be a paladin through claiming it, it is bestowed on you by the higher power that you serve.

I'm going to be AWESUUUUUUUUUUUUMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!

Why cant you earn them with stories anymore?

but there is no point in writing them any more, sure there fun-ish but there's no reward.....

Well Pooey.

Back to the way I used to write RPs.

Personally I think a novel style required more creativity and thought, and thus more rewardable.  It's all too easy to spam out a letter like Zeta's example.

The example the admin is giving, if you would keep up with those, I agree with Lady Lacewing, it will become more like spamming instead of RPing. I tried this 10 messages long and in the end I was making up that there was going to be an uprising in one of my cities, and believe me, I am full of imagination. The novelstyleRP's required more of a player and were more fun!
I really disagree with this change.

Why actually? Why is it being changed?Or has been changed.

I like this way.....it's roleplaying, not story writing o.O
Plus, RP can be very interesting stories. VU as a game has a pretty massive scope if you think of it as a story. I have an important question though, can you get RP points through writing of your history (if it fits such criteria)? I sure hope so lol...

For how long do you have to roleplay before you get rp- points? I have done it for almost the entire era and I haven t got even one....

:)

Do we have to start using I's from now on, instead of talking in the 3rd person?

Would this be considered telling a story?

As Edy walks out of the tavern he states loudly to no one in particular "I'll be leaving in 2 days if you want to join me you should probablly meet me outside the west gate" earning a couple of wierd glances from passerbies.

Edy strutted with a purpose toward one of the alleys of the town. Where the scum of cities lived. The Blacksmith known as Garganoth had asked for this place as there meeting point to give him the weapon he had asked for.

Edy's mind worked out what he knew about the man Garganoth.Garganoth was a friend of the the Dark but an enemy of Gadriel. He was a rather well known blacksmith but he had always followed the immortal.

As Edy walked though he felt more nervous, there was a certain oppresive quality to this alley that shouldn't be here. As he walked it began to get stronger until unable to stop the nervousness in his mind he began to sprint.

Edy got to the small house that would be there meeting place. Nervously Edy opened the door. As he stared at what he saw he felt his stomach heave. At seeing what was left of the man known as Garganoth.

First person? Really because that's to easy, Third person Omniscient is far more interesting.
