Facebook can only be so active. Commenting on photos, statuses, walls, etc., you are only talking to one person at a time. HogwartsLive is weird because there's a chat in which a lot of VERY different people participate -- and they think about the game in various ways. Some people see it as a way to make friends. I don't, because I have RL (real-life) friends. In fact, 4 of my real-life friends are on HogwartsLive which I will refer to now as HL. My goal is to get to 200+ Voldemort encounters and get a Ford Anglia as my mount. But others don't see it that way. I have the sneaking suspicion that many HL players have very few real-life friends and a disproportionate amount of HL friends. My evidence is that people who have been on HL for a smaller amount of time than me have waaaaay more Voldemort Encounters than I do, and seem to take HL "drama" much more seriously than I do. This can only be because they are on a crazy amount more time than me, because I am on a decent amount and I rarely chat, I usually just fight in the forest.
However, I am relatively hated on HL because of the way I chat. I make fun of almost everyone on there because of how seriously they take the drama. I like to cause the drama because it's funny as hell. If I am out of forest fights and have nothing else to do, I will be contrary to anything anyone says on HL just to start a fight.
Because what is the fun in an online RPG if everyone loves each other?
Is there a 20 sided die that goes along with this game?
ReplyDeleteNo dice. At least none that you can see. It's a browser-based RPG non a pen and paper one.
