hey I have an idea! when we get rich or have lots of stuff we don't need but wanna sell as soon as possible, not only do we have our shops, but we can also kind of make use of what's available! http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif


okay so like you look around the cities, and don't understand what I mean. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/anime2.gif

One idea is the waitress/waiter theme! You could go like to places like where those tables and chairs are at in Parum's city, or the bar in Moatoob, or something like that, with another created character named '*WAITRESS*/*WAITER*' or something that makes it clear what you're roleplaying as,
and like hang around there and offer players who are sitting down by the tables some items you are currently carrying for quick person to person sales/trades and stuff (transferred from your main character)! http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/anime1.gif

and if you're really generous, you could make stuff up like a '500th customer' prize and give the next person who sits down a free monomate or something! their reactions may be priceless and friendly! http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif


lighthearted fun fun! http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif

so ya another idea is the security guard theme. like make a separate security guard lookin character named something like *Security Guard* (so you get the point across that you're a security guard.)
and help newcomers who seem lost or need information.

well of course this sort of thing gets more interesting depending on your interest in role playing and being creative.

but of course these are good ideas to experiment with when you're currently maxed out or bored or whatever. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/anime1.gif

I think it's a great idea. Hell, i'd give them a tip if they did a good job roleplaying.

Well, this is a good idea... But after my traumatic experiences on the xbox version of PSO I'm not so sure people would be friendly toward it. I would http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/cat.gif ..... but "other people" might not be... http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_eek.gif

I dont think anyone could have the paitence to do something that tedious or would just get ignored anyway.

I envison the city blocks filled with afkers , spamers and groups of random people chatting. I can imagine ppl doing some form of RPing in the Pub/bar's.

I thought this topic was gunna be about crafting items & the affect on the econmy lol

Just now I stood in the middle of Dagora City ranting about "an unseen foe" and the coming apocalypse like an insane street preacher. Most people backed away, looking rather frightened by my very presence, but one particular male human found it utterly fascinating and sat down in front of me. I declared myself the Pirate Queen of France and told my subject to go make me a sandwich, but he just kinda sat there with a vacant smile and started playing /dice.

I like both of those ideas. The waiter one may get annoying after some time if people are constantly doing it, but the Security Guard or w/e idea is great. Many peoply ALWAYS have questions of some sorts so why not dedicate a character to being an information desk? The polite thing to do ofcourse would be to tip them depending on how helpful they were. Now, only people who actually KNOW a decently large amount of PSU information should become this.

Ranting aside, good ideas Saner.

I haven't been on these forums for very long, but I've come to enjoy reading Saner topics. I'm sure there will be people who will RP particular roles eventually in certain locales. RPing a bartender comes to mind.

I'm surprised, that's actually a really good idea Saner lol =)
I probably wouldn't do something like that cause I don't RP, but it would be cool to see Security Guard Joe making his rounds and helping people out ^_^

You'll never see the day, that guy/girl is always bitchy.

Any way, I can see it beeing a nice idea if there were a few of them...But if it gets out of hand and you have morons running around bugging the living hell out of people, it might get annoying.

I guarantee that there will be some forms of making money on the side like there are in every online game. An example in FFXI would be tele-taxis. Alot of people tend to have spare time and already have maxed out chars, so, why not make a little more extra $ by messing around? I see nothing wrong with that.

O.O...This was an interesting topic to wake up to...
Well, I wouldnt mind trying something like this...maybe being some type of trainer or some sort, helping people out and having them practice PAs and stuff. "PUSH IT TO THE LIMIT!"
*breaks out into a dance*

Sometimes i wish i lived in the strange little world in your head that is...hm...bubbly and fluffy?

ya ppl will find it fun, and of course ppl shouldn't overdo it in the manner of wanting attention, but if you just play along and let ppl come to you (instead of the other way around), then it can be fun without being annoying and overblown. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/anime1.gif

but ya it will depends cause the community atmosphere may be different for each server. so ya aside from the sour grapes there will be fun people who will find this welcoming. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/anime1.gif

Hrm, that reminds me. As far as community activity goes, what kind of goodies that they have in PSU? I remember that in PSO, we had Go-Ball. Did we get anything in PSU to compensate for that? Or no?

lol Saner, where do you get your topic ideas from? They are so... numerous... and...interesting... to say the least...

Its not a bad idea. I wouldn't disapprove of people doing it. I could even see doing something like it myself from time to time...

Original, Ill give ya props for that =P

Ill prolly have 1 RP character Ill mess around with, but it will probably end up just being a streaking cast.
Hell, now that I think of it, I need about 10 maybe 20 other people to make streaking characters and we'll riot on the release date =)

Seems like a pretty typical online idea. I've nothing against it.

I'm sure as hell not participating in it, though. Been waiting for PSU too long to sit around and not fight stuff.

On PSO I used to sit in the lobbies all day and chat to people there for hours, about nothing in particular, so I would love to do that again in PSU!

If you really want to weird someone else just go in one of the pubs/bars and say it's gay bar! :3

As for the idea, prolly not my style, but I would be amused (in a good way) if I saw something like that going on in-game. Pretty cool, actually.

I would do something to help out the PSU community, Back on PSO my friend was duping weapons and I would always get lots of extras, so to the people I knew were just starting out, I would give them stuff, so when I get enough stuff I would like to open a store for cheap/incredible cheap items.http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif
