[LiefDeltora]

Greetings my fellow SL2 players.
Some of you may know me, for better or worse, but I believe presentations aren't important in regards to the matter at hand.
But Lief? What in the hell are you talking about? You guessed it. State of the game!
I have been watching pretty much all decisions and changes that happened in the past months.
Well, this is less about the 'state of the game', and more about what I truly believe with no real restraints to my words, no passive aggressiveness which by God, is a big thing within the posts I see here that try to go around the problems instead of saying it already. Perhaps people are afraid of saying things and want to look good in the eyes of others, being it admins or their friends, but that is none of my concern.
The game has no content for roleplay, and rewards the lack of such.
That was one of the topics I brought on DM’s with Dev, and some players as well, but never really delved a lot into it. That by itself, is one of the main reasons why I distanced myself from the game, until I finally stopped playing it.

If we compare Sigrogana to any other RP game, being it Eternia, Age of Gezo, any of the hundreds of Naruto’s ripoffs and even some Dragon Ball based games of Byond, Sigrogana Legends 2 does NOT reward Roleplay.

1 - You can be OOC, forever.
The game already has issues when it comes to finding people to roleplay with, which is already a major problem by itself. The ban of OOC corner was a good move, that much I can admit, but people being ‘OOC in places’ is completely nonsensical.

By being OOC you can enjoy the only true content of the game, which are the dungeons. Tell me, what else do you have to do in Sigrogana other than ‘grind’? And please, saying that RP by itself is a reward is a lie. Discord RP exists for that, if you really were looking for it.

2 - Mechanical Advantage > Being IC
Some people, that I truly respect, do bring their characters IC before powergrinding them into oblivion. But that’s it, the one true content of the game is that you get stronger from both IC and OOC perspective, by simply doing BDPs. Everything should be IC, like those hardcore characters were doing a month or two ago.

3 - PVP over Everything
Many of you, or perhaps even most of you, stick and play the game for the PvP. You either really enjoy the FF Tactics feel it gives, or you just find it overall fun for whatever reason. And that is something that converges the prior points into.. This. 
Your build, your min-max, your almost everything is about how well you can win against a player, and your IC barely even matters when it comes to the classes.

Ghosts are literally using blood to fight.
Hexers utilize the bad emotions to increase and utilize their power.
(Side note to the obscenity that is utilizing Boxer / Hexer, how does that make sense to you?)

I am sure we can find other examples, but do we really see people roleplaying the canonical things of said fighting styles? If you RP it as ‘something else’ I really think some common ground on what truly is IC and what isn’t should be.

TL DR:
The game is a MMO with an ‘Emote’ button slightly stapled on top of it.
Like FF XIV or WoW but with less things to do.
You may now salt in the comments if so desired.
