You would also have read that this is real play and not rolelay, and that radar huds to track down women are not allowed. And being selfish for capturing 2 women? The sim is all baout the straongest survivor, if you can handle two then keep two. And much more in this review that made my skin crawl.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-840090857326641450.post-45698189009499548712012-09-11T06:06:56.046-04:002012-09-11T06:06:56.046-04:00Again someone not bothered to read the notecards. ...Again someone not bothered to read the notecards.

The King calls it Real Play, that means everything has to be played out, even drama's and such like. He evens says that the sim is not ideally suited for para roleplay. You are just the typical sl resident who goes somewhere, refuses to read about the sim, wants to play his/her own little game and then gets upset when it turns out different.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-840090857326641450.post-34444520626647535332012-08-15T03:54:42.451-04:002012-08-15T03:54:42.451-04:00While there are a lot of good things to say about ...While there are a lot of good things to say about Agapeo Seas, there are some problems with it. If you are looking for a genuine RP sim, this is probably not the first place to look. The idea is supposedly that Real Play allows for a more immersive RP experience by eliminating the IMs, maps, name tags, and avatar names in chat. <br /><br />What happens instead is that, for those who enjoy detailed paragraph RP, the Brandeds (a high level role who can shoot at the men without being shot at first) will target men standing and RPing a conversation and knock them out; the bulls do this, too. When a Para-RPer complains about the scene being interupted, they are told "This is RealPlay, not role play." This usually happens, of course, after a scene has been ruined and a person knocked out or killed, often before they even have a chance to draw their weapon and defend themself.<br /><br />The sim is beautifully designed, yes, and a lot of RP potential has been built into the design, backstory, and laws. However, while there are a number of excellent RPers who play here, there are a number of mediocre ones who hide behind the laws of the land to cover their lack of effort. Many of the offenders do this, until their own scene is interupted...at which point they use the laws to slap the person or people who dared act like them.<br /><br />Because of this, I would say that, in many ways, Agapeo Seas is just a moderate improvement on your run of the mill, fantasy-based hunt sim. Serious RP is discouraged in favor of the hunt theme rather than utilizing the tools to develop a more thorough, comprehensive, erotica-heavy sim. If you are looking for a serious place to create broad story arcs, you may end up being in the crosshairs.<br /><br />Additionally, some of the business practices are a bit questionable. The initial pregnancy HUD that was developed for the sim was returned to the developer and that developer banned, without warning, in favor of the more well-known Mama Alpa. While the sim owner certainly has the right to change vendors, the tales of Agapeo Seas owner acting unprofessionally toward others (including his players) are numerous.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-840090857326641450.post-13146836749961104232012-08-15T03:40:45.689-04:002012-08-15T03:40:45.689-04:00What the writer of this article didn't know ab...What the writer of this article didn't know about, was that Apagepo then screwed over the people who helped him get re-started, banning them from the sim. He routinely causes drama in the chat that makes it an unpleasant place to be. I personally was banned because I dared to ask the "King" a question directly which he refused to answer and instead stood there watching the drama roll, and I think he enjoyed it. The king has says repeatedly in his rules that this is not a Gor sim, yet now this article claims it is. So which is it? If you are a GOOD roleplayer, a paraposter that likes to follow the rules of decent RP, and not have people just start firing into a hut where people are having an agreed upon RP without giving any warning, this is NOT the sim for you. There are better ones out there that have moderators to help you if there is a problem and keep the drama to a minimum. However if you like drama, posts like "F**k me please, Oh baby oh baby" knock you self out Agapeo is the place for you. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
