I'm a lurker on the forums. Play CF off and on. Come back every few months to play a char, usually a lowbie pker that ends up rage deleted, but sometimes I rank up to hero. I rolled a felar shifter a few days ago, log in, level up with some drow guy, end up in a group with a couple other felars. We spend several hours together, RP as a "pack", generally having fun. Land a few PKs, I log out. I log back in and I'm in the fucking ROTD being accused of being in a permagroup with these two dudes.
Keep in mind the only person I talk to from CF OOC is a guy who doesn't even play anymore.
So anyway, I'm annoyed as hell that I've been ROTD'd over this, and I express the fact that the whole experience makes me feel like the character is marked as a nuisance and there's no way I'm going to end up with any immteraction or imm rewards. The imm is trying to play it off the whole time like this is no big deal, as though everybody logs in and is in the ROTD. Simultaneously, he's basically saying "it would be a shame if something happened to your character" with regards to me grouping with these dudes. So I'm supposed to suspend the RP of my character and avoid two other chars (on a mud with a tiny pbase, even, where there are few enough people to group or interact with), just because some imm got it into his head that we know each other OOC?
I told the imm flat out that I wasn't going to change the way I was RPing my character, or avoid the two other guys if they happened to be on. He transferred me back to Galadon or whatever without punishment, but suffice to say it soured the character and my experience. I ended up doing a little more lowbie pk and then deleting. Frankly if this is how CF is these days, I might not be back again. How in the fuck is it even possible for a character to be like ten hours old, spend half that time in one group and half that time in another group, and then immland just arbitrarily decides they're in a perma?
Fuck that noise. Seriously.
