Just like when you watch a movie, roleplaying in AR is a state of suspended disbelief, where you forget about the outside world and you're captured by the game. You forget its not real.
I'm looking to eliminate things that break that state of disbelief in the game world, and reminds you that you're in a game. Like for example "Catholics Rule" on a wall some place, which I'll already fixed by now, so dont need to repost that. Especially in the areas, but anything else that does that to you, please bring up in this thread.

You're sure you removed 'Catholics rule!' off that wall? I was in there around 5 hours ago, and I noticed it. Actually did 'un-immerse' me. |

Pretty much the whole Castle Strangelove area of Dwarven Kingdom... birth control pills, and descriptions like this:
Code: |
Here there is a door to the castle to the east. The castle is well-lit and
elegantly designed, and looks much like a roll of toilet paper standing on
end. You can make out a sign that says:
******************************************
* WELCOME TO THE CASTLE OF STRANGELOVE *
* Here, celibacy is uninvited *
****************************************** |

Ah, that place is funny. That's gotta be the comic relief for AR. |

No more ramses? No more pyramid? Im just glad that in my whole career in AR I never bothered to learn the stupid Pyramids. Rofl.
Socials.
lightbulb.
bullshit
I realy dont like the fart one...
Nor any of the stupid groping, stripping, ass slapping ones.
Laces IE tying someones shoe laces together.
liver
You look angrily for someone to disembowel.
Hahahah. Never tried that one before.
Anyways, yeah. The crappy socials. |

- The pizza in the High Tower of Sorcery, but I think it's gone already.
- Food items that don't have a place in this setting - donuts, for example.
- Wearing mushrooms on your head... was that a Mystic thing or what? Reminds me of Smurfs, and it's just plain stupid in my opinion.
- 'gimp' social (You have been GIMPED!!)
- Gnome warriors. They totally take me out of the game. |

the sword Excalibur. or however you spell it.
the pizza crust in solace??
half of solace-....
all of solace?? reminds me too much of Dragonlance. especially the bar.
the ones searching for the crystal staff.--- laudwin and the other.
the hobgoblin flunky. searching for the crystal staff.
crystalmir lake.
Moria? at least rename it. Lord of the rings?
And we already thought of shire.
If I think of more I will let ye know. |

Deadzero...wtf?
I mean...the lake? The ice staff searching? WHY??? Give reasons. I mean, the ones named previously are sort of obvious. But why the not so obvious ones?
I resent that Sebryn. |

excalibur gone
pizza gone
chocolate donut gone
mushroom fixed
lightbulb gone
laces gone
Solace/Shire/Shadar are all areas that need rename jobs. They're highest on the to-do list after getting out another new area.
I dont know what to do about moria yet, daycare seems shitty as hell too. We'll think of something though. |

Possible solution:
1. Lop off Moria/Dwarven Kingdom/Dwarven Daycare completely.
2. Replace with area that still has a cavernous section to attach to Plains to the North (or possibly Ofcol, etc.).
3. Throw large hobgoblins somewhere else, or replace with equally accessible low-rank purple-holding mobs. |
