This idea sounds very good and I would be all for it but I know a good few players on these forums strictly going against anything which would require indies to get their arses on the forums, and conduct any RP to have something in-game, because they think those indies should have them toys by default, so expect them coming over for a rant or two against your idea
Heh, well that may be true, but it comes down to a real simple argument:
It is really too much to ask, for a person to make a small amount (minutes) of forum interaction in regards to something that takes players months to build?
I'm all for protecting the rights of the indies, but if you dont protect at least a small few rights for the serious RP'ers, we have a problem again with losing population (and these guys are the good ones :/ ), and this server will be much worse off because of it. If we make a rule like this, yes we might see a few indies/lols whine or leave because they need 5 minutes effort instead of just saying engaging. But with the alternative, which is currently the norm -letting anyone engage at will in what is often very ooRP fashion- is we might see a RP'ers/Vets leave because lolcaps have hours of time and a 3-minute attention span.
And i mean really, on an honest note, are there any of us here who really want to play this game with someone who would rather not play Disco then take five extra minutes once every few days to check out important info? I dont. Folks should at least have to go read the rules---everyone can agree on that----and then noobs will know they must either spend a few minutes on the forums before they *%#& with POB's or to stay the hell away from them
