A ceasefire environment will never happen.Leshpar wrote: ↑Thu Apr 05, 2018 5:08 pmI really dislike the idea of further segregating monster race players. If anything I think the factions (andunor and Cordor) should be more exclusive. Right now anyone from Cordor can walk into Andunor seemingly without punishment. If someone like a gnoll or kobold tries to walk into Cordor not only would the dms be upset (rightfully) they would be killed on sight. In fact I've seen drow outright protect surface humans from those of us who were not so welcoming as I understood the rp should be.
I think things like this are why the cities server is more popular than surface. More interaction with more differing people.
Maybe the solution would be the opposite of what I posted above. Maybe we could have a ceasefire or something where those of us who are known Underdarkers could enter the surface and interact with them without immediate threat of death.
A few issues:
When you play a monster race, you are playing a MONSTER. Imagine people in prisons, incarcerated for life for murder. Now imagine someone saying: "We should allow them to enter our home town, not keep them in cells."
Would anyone be comfortable with that?
A surfacer going into the underdark, a human to be precise, is taking a risk by being in a setting with more crime and less sympathy for those who are victims. Humans may be able to slip by with care, but a hin might be looked at as a resource, or commodity, and a surface elf might be grabbed down an alley to be sacrificed if they aren't cautious with hiding themselves.
In other words, there is a greater threat of death in going to Andunor. Sure, maybe not as much as the immediate threat of the surface, but that's because again, these are Monsters. A race where 99% are terrible murderers, and trusting one is akin on taking a gamble with your own life.
The places should be seen as different environments, rather than trying to equalize everything, we should see that because they are different they can cater to a variety of tastes.
It's too early to do a UD Server on its own, in regards to the OP. Maybe if numbers keep growing.
