Umm... what?
'Cause people enjoy being in it.
'Cause their magic is beneficial in hunting groups (assuming a lack of barbarians).
'Cause they're dang fun to have around.
'Cause they make RP in DragonRealms more flavorful.
'Cause they make it so the game has a more robust instrument system, which would simply be a interesting diversion at most if it weren't developed fully because of bards.
'Cause they have more access to the rumor system than other guilds, which, again, wouldn't have existed without them.
'Cause every town needs a drunk.
'Cause stories about Elanthian history should be known by every character, young and old, and who better than a troubador to tell 'em.
'Cause they can make your backpack insult you.
I can go on, I think.

1b. - because with a single enchante, we can make a papercut on the cuticule of your right thumb turn into a bleeding wound the size of the void itself, draining your life force and will by the second, blood flowing out of you like mana in an elothean newbie moon mage while holding mana for a moon gate, for the very first time.
1c. - like the guild spelled like us [barb] we can also blow your head up with a scream of defiance, in such that our guild has used for generations, keeping the population safe from the minions of every archenemie the realms has ever faced... beginning with tiero.

because bards are even less popular in TF than in prime? that, and to my knowledge, the TF bards who post over here haven't ever played bards before...and i don't think many of the known bards over there ever did play bards in prime. there's no knowledge-base for them to draw from, really.

<<T- I always wonder why TF folks post here? Are there not forums there?>>
Because a lot of us have prime characters first off. Just because we dont say so, or post with our prime names doesnt mean that we dont have them, and even play them occasionally (I know someone actually was playing TF as a sideline while playing prime mainly for a while). Secondly, our boards are a bit more incomplete than these, without as many GMs reading the boards there (since there are no BMs, some of us assume that a lot of things dont get passed on unless theyre in the bugs folder). Third, sometimes we have (or believe we have anyways) good information to bring to the table. Theres a lot of things dealing with training, weapons, armor, skill vs skill contests, critter difficulty, scripting, and guild in and outs that I wish I had known about when I primarily played prime. Lastly, to confuse people.

I don't really see why it would be a problem for a TF bard to post here. As Sanya said, getting answers or giving information on the TF boards can be quite problematic. I play a bard in TF and am enjoying it, although there are a few issues I think should be dealt with along with questions I have. I have tried to learn to do it all myself, and rarely ask questions as far as being bardic goes. Sure, we don't playact or perform like Prime bards, but that doesn't make us any less bardic.

I don't mind seeing questions/comments from any bard. The only thing that irks me a little is when TF bards start bragging about their gazillion ranks of lore :) But that's a pretty minor thing, overall.
I'll also admit that it's sometimes hard for me to answer TF bards' questions because they tend to be skewed heavily toward lore - I tend to be pretty balanced, so it can be hard to get a sense of what the problem is at times.

This is the ONLY place we can ask question and get some semblence of an answer. Besides you're just mad b/c we are better looking in TF ;D

I've been a bard in prime. OMG COMBAT BARD. COULD U GUESS?
Was like 4 years ago, but whatever.
So yes, there are bards (or a bard) in TF who's been a bard in prime. And yes, all the bards in TF know exactly what they're doing as far as being a bard is concerned. And we get offended even more so when someone says bards are weak. We get the pure, insanely over-scripted weapon ranks (HT/Log) + DMRS.
I had 0 ranks in HT and dropped an unyn in like 3 throws. Its all about the resolve. :)

Concidering the numbers and situations are extremly different in each game (Gee thats probably why there are different games)
I would think the community you choose to play with , would be the community you have dialog with in this forum. Obviously not everyone thinks like I do. Curious is all.

With the exception of scripting and PvP how is one "world" different than the other prime-vs-TF? The only major difference is the amount of players online and the number of GM's that monitor. The fact that the GM's don't normally look in the TF forums is the main reason we come to prime forum although that's the beauty of DR...I can post pretty much where I want as long as the information is relative to the folder.

A lot depends on the situation and the kind of information we're looking for <shrugs> There's so few bards in plat (and TF, I believe), that often the prime boards are a better resource to find out how something works.

In a perfect world, we'd have others to actually have a dialog with. Considering there are only like four active bards in TF (or less...Mattrim, you got a number on this?) theres a lot of things that people just wouldnt figure out if there wasnt a bigger resource for help. Its not that we dont talk to each other over there, but there are only so many of us, and only so much information that we can come by on our own.
Besides, most everyone there had a prime character at some point. I'd say all, but I cant verify that so I wont. I've had more than I can remember their names, and the only difference that I've found at all is the rate at which I learn. Mibe, one of the most vocal TFers was only in his 60s (somewhere..can never remember). I dont keep up with highest circle, but I'm fairly sure there is at least 1 other bard on the prime side over 60th circle.

I've got two scripts that I live and die by. The first one is by Squall (the former l33t TF bard) which works mad lore. And the other is a combat script that works 2 weapons. That's the extent of the scripts that i primarily use. Travel ones and favor ones sure but when it comes to training that's it.

Hi hi hi and hi,
I felt inspired to get Willy to second circle in the fallen today. My script kerplunked at some point and unfortunately my lore was less...than...mad. You can script combat? What do you do when you croak? Just lie there? (I always end my day of hunting with a death.) I need a better lore script. All I've managed to do in the Fallen is to get my stringed instruments to a bajillion. (snicker) Though it is particularly fun to look in and see your skills 20 ranks past where you left them!
Maybe we should have a 24 hour free script off in prime! (kidding...KIDDING I said.)
Ok...Twinkly...and Willy sometimes...
