Usually several hours per day

What is your prefered playstyle aside from Roleplaying?
Playing Tamers, Archers, Mages, and helping others

It seems disorganized currently, perhaps many are apathetic, just guesses

Not near enough genuine roleplay, but times are hard in Sosaria these days

What do you enjoy about EM Events on the Baja Shard?
Enjoy them most when part of an interesting story, when outcomes are not predetermined

Dislike when some reap "benefits" others do NOT, when opponents repeatedly insta kill everything

Meaningful ones, and obviously fun, enjoyable ones

Would you like to see more spontaneous roleplay?
Yes

Scripted as in forming a sensible, interesting story, yes. Predetermined outcomes, less so.

To date I've received two responses. I could use more.

Select those questions you have an opinion on.

I also have a couple more.

1. Would you be interested in roleplaying a Town or Royal Guard?

2. Would you be interested in joining or forming a Player Run Village? If so what do you look for in a Village?

3. What is your prefered genre? Why?

Low or Heroic Fantasy? (Conan the Barbarian, The Song of Ice and Fire, et. al.) The emphasis is on character development. Good and Evil are relative.

High Fantasy? (Elves, Dwarves, Faeries, Lord of the Rings, et. al.) There being numerous fantasy races. Tends to have one great evil. (Sauron / Mondain.)

Historical Romanticism / Realism? (Emphasis on Medievalism and reconstruction of cultures such as Dark Age Europe or Feudal Japan / China.)

Gothic Horror? (Vampires, Werewolves, Zombie Apocalypse, et. al.)

Post Apocalyptic Fantasy? The world has just survived catastrophe and the emphasis is on the struggle to rebuild and survive.

Other.

4. Have you played a previous Ultima Title?

5. Do you enjoy events that are structured and include prizes (i.e. Scavenger Hunts, Murder Mysteries, etc.) or informal roleplaying gatherings? (i.e. Tavern Nights, Festivals, Spontaneous World RP, etc.)

6. What was your favorite part about the War of Shadows Storyarc? What was your least favorite part? Were you satisfied with the outcome?

7. What was your favorite part about the Britannian Purity League / Prophecies Foretold Storyarc? What was your least favorite part? Were you satisfied with the outcome?​
