Rp server help

[Materius]

There's a small RP community on Siren that's been trying to take off for a couple months now. Outside of the FCs that have light RP, there's a RP-focused FC called Neo NOAH, as well as several Linkshells. Mostly they are made of people who couldn't get onto Balmung due to the lockout, so they are trying to create a similar community on a more open server.

You'll have to make an alt on Siren and find someone to contact though, I'm not sure who you would need to speak to.

That would be me, for Neo NOAH, at least. I'm a tad tricky to get ahold of for a lot of people since I start work just as most people are getting off their own, but I'm on every night and most mornings. I could also get you guys into contact with most of the LSs as well. Would be great to see the Siren RP community grow!

Ooo, so if my altaholicism requires more characters I can branch out onto Siren? Data center swap may be annoying though... do you have a forum or off-game site to share? Uncharted Trails is the site set up for my FC/Community on Brynhildr, as well as our sister FC Black Label Society. so if you guys suffer from altaholicism come our way too! xD

I've been wondering where I should make characters if I wanted to expand RP options because I love alts... Yay threads!

We do, actually, and it's http://neonoah.enjin.com/. While it's under our FC's name, we actually also use it to keep track of weekly events held by other FCs and LSes. It may look inactive at the moment, but that's just due to me having some family issues the past couple months and not thinking to update it. Everything should be cleared up in a couple weeks though, and it'll be back to normal!

There's definitely an RP community on Siren, it just needs people to come out of the closet. The LSes tend to be a bit more casual in their RP, while my FC is on the heavier side, though we're not all-out RP-only. I welcome moar RP friends.

I'll join your enjin then and maybe can be convinced to hop over when I have the penchant for making some Alts :3
You seem more organized than me though ^_^; I'm not a savvy administrator. More of a charismatic Heart...

I never understood the RP part, what does it mean exactly? -i only raid so I just try to understand you people-

[Terrini]

RP = Role Play

Essentially we create our character and then we act like them as if they actually were born and live in the world we play.

But can't you just be yourself and have nice conversations? I mean, it's still you when you communicate with others. @.@

I have to agree with this. RP is a foreign concept to me. When you pretend to be something you are not in a video game, it is still YOU behind the keyboard pretending to be something you are not. No disrespect...to each their own, I suppose. I log in and say hello to my free company...but it is ME saying hello to the players behind the characters.

There's also a decent number of players trying to establish an RP community here in Zalera once all the heads of the LS have themselves settled gameplay wise. I've noticed quite a few small RP FCs and we're trying to get what ones are interested in having at least their FC leaders connected through LS.

Really you can RP on any server. Just won't be nearly as open as Balmung or Gilgamesh. You'll have to hunt a little.

It has a certain joy tied to trying to speak differently even. Not to mention the nice in game events, like "let's populate an inn one day and act out a party!", if it's not your thing it gets hard to understand, but it does carry certain joy to merge with the world that you're in.

Heck some people even live their lives as half-RP without RP-ing. Like one of my friends on our forums that decided based on appearance that his character will like/ dislike certain things and in all MMOs that he's in, he follows that trail of thought. It's not him not enjoying certain professions or classes, but rather deeming some professions and classes unfitting for the character that he created.
