The Witchfire Posted July 27 Posted July 27 (edited) Newly returning player, so please humor what will doubtless seem like a silly question to those in the know. Where is the roleplaying? I saw the post about RP and OOC channels at least. Is there an "(un)official" RP server like Virtue once was? I've poked around multiple servers and seen varying levels of mission team activity, but no hints of RP yet. Edited July 27 by The Witchfire 1

The Witchfire Posted July 27 Author Posted July 27 Many thanks to both of you for the replies. 🙂 I did see a modest amount of RP tags over people's heads this morning on Excelsior, but nobody actually seemed to be doing anything beyond content (hey, leveling is important 😄 ). I'll give Everlasting a look next. 1 1

ChallengerYura Posted July 29 Posted July 29 (edited) Hey! Check out Everlasting! Like everyone else said it's the unofficial RP server, Pocket D has a lot of social stuff and naughty RP, the SGs that focus on RP rather than social clubs tend to be hidden away in my experience. As a returner myself (mostly new! I played only a little) I thought I would ask since it seems relevant to both me and Witchfire! Does anyone have any discord links they might want to share?

chase Posted Tuesday at 01:20 PM Posted Tuesday at 01:20 PM Some things to consider in trying to find RP: - the unlocking of "supergroup bases" changed the geography of RP. Pocket D's RP crowd now has over a dozen nightclub "bases" to choose from and quite literally hundreds of custom locations, from bookstores to astral planes, meditation chambers to city blocks... and sometimes ACTUAL bases. That can make it harder to find, overall. (the homecoming wiki has an "everlasting base list" if you want to find a setting that works for your story). - although I'm a big advocate of the RP global channels as a way to find each other, there have been... managerial disputes... over the years that seem to have led some/many to sour on them. - Discords. Roleplayers are using them nowadays much more frequently than forums it seems. Start with at least the server-specific channels of the official homecoming server. 1 Some of my CoH stuff.

To expand on this a little further, there are global chat 'advertisements' for RP-themed 'dance parties' on Friday nights and the weekends (at least on Homecoming), and there's generally some good impromptu 'hi, come here often?' RP to be found there. In case you don't know, the ad will post a code - just copy that code, go to a Portal, and paste that code into the dialog box when it asks. 1 Fools! We Will Destroy You All!

Paragon Vanguard Posted Tuesday at 07:01 PM Posted Tuesday at 07:01 PM You will also find people advertise for RP teams on Everlasting. Slow moving, focusing on rp over quick xp. I have enjoyed many of those, and it will help you meet rp'ers. Sadly I have only dabbled in rp'ing with others, though I love rp. I can say the rp community seems friendly and kind, and welcoming. You can find rp on Excelsior and Everlasting, but Everlasting is definitely the official unofficial rp server. Or is that unofficial official? This is a good community over all so feel free to jump in. People are quick to assist. Paragon Vanguard Jerrin Bloodlette Hughe Luke Minhere many others
