I've been searching and searching and searching for Roleplay in SWG.
Been to SWGEmu, the community seems pretty closed.
I've played hours on Bloodfin...if its not PVP, they don't seem interested.
I've now poked my nose in here, and I've got to ask: Honestly, how is the Role play?
Is it hard to find? Is it mocked? Are there events? Is it mostly cantina RP or do people go out and do stuff?
Personally, I RP the whole time I'm playing (Other than occasionally making a dance video for youtube, haha) and some people respond well to it, some don't care.
I'm just a wayward RPer looking for a place to call home.
How is the RP on this Server?

I haven't seen much RP myself here, but knowing the community I'm confident to saying they'd react well to it. They just need some people to put forth the effort into getting it going.
I know me personally, I enjoy RP, and if I saw an event or someone spontaneously RPing in a city I would join in.

I've played Bloodfin and can tell you this PvP isn't really established here yet and neither is RP I think for the most part everyone is grinding characters and trying to unlock the elusive Jedi which is no where as easy as it is on teh Fin, I like both servers and contribute to both, but if your looking for the original SWG 2003 this is where its at and RP is just waiting for someone to take the reins.

Im also a roleplayer, apart of a RP mercanary guild. Im sure that once we are done grinding our town will be very RP centered. I Rpd on the emu for a bit. I wouldnt say it is closed, more that they lack motivation. They sit in Savareen all day scratching themselves. You cant blame them, the emu is just a test server and will be wiped, destroying all the work they did.
I am interested in getting RP going. I can only grind for so long lol. The devs here seem interested in adding script to the server that will add to RP if we can just get the ball rolling. I think this server will become a RP haven eventually.

RP is usually the slowest thing to develop on a server
It will happen tho!

We're hoping to have a thriving RP community in time. I tend to avoid getting into the RP aspects until my characters are fully leveled, because I don't want to have to worry about going to RP somewhere and getting my lekku handed to me. >.< Just a matter of time, though!

Doing the same right now...grinding up a couple of toons to get ready for RP. One of my RP "threads" involves a Heavy Isotope band...but it is hard to portray that until I have all the in-game songs and FX available...so I can't really get it going until I am done with my grind.
In time, I think ChyldeMyst and I (she is my wife) intend to either start a RP city or join an existing one and contribute *heavily*. We were very involved in RP on Starsider, and that's why we came back to the game when we heard about Awakening.
Have patience!

I used to play on Starsider as well and very much enjoy roleplaying. Like everyone else I am busy grinding up my professions but am looking forward to getting involved in any heavy/moderate roleplaying in the future.
My ingame name is Grathar if anyone feels like getting together

Sadly, mine and Lennart's attempt to create a neutral RP-haven city on Corellia is floundering badly. We're barely holding steady at 30 citizens, and only two businesses are actually set up to receive customers. Of the citizens, seventeen of them are played by myself, Lennart, and my twin sister, and the rest have been AWOL for over 3 weeks.
People on the forums say they're interested in RP, but I'm not seeing a whole lot in-game, and I personally every spare minute I'm logged in grinding credits to keep Holowood afloat - hard to RP when I'm wondering if I'm going to be able to pay the mortgage.

im not, really going to choose the best, path here, so forgive me, I just had an opinion, why don't the roleplayers who still are in game, why don't we all get together, choose one of the npc cities, as our rp hub, roleplay branches out in these places, that way no money is needed to pay any mortgage, and you can make it your rp haven easily, yeah you will have trolls now an then, but ignore them eventually they get bored, I know it sounds like a bad idea, but its a lot cheaper and easier to maintain. with the grind, some roleplayers, still have to work on there charcters too, I know this is not the greatest idea ever, but it is worth a try I thought.ChyldeMyst wrote:Sadly, mine and Lennart's attempt to create a neutral RP-haven city on Corellia is floundering badly.

I missed a tell from you the other day but myself and my fiance are interested in Holowood. We are really very broke but I can offer a noob-rate tailor vendor, a pile of hunted resources a whole heap of enthusiasm. We're talking about what our angle might be for our characters and what I know about your RP city. Would love to figure something out.ChyldeMyst wrote:Sadly, mine and Lennart's attempt to create a neutral RP-haven city on Corellia is floundering badly.

I bumped into and had some nice random RP with someone from Holowood a week or so back, but then a server reset kicked me off. I'm spending a while getting Aashna's profession up, but once I'm there I'm definitely looking at going into RP. I'll have to check Holowood out as a hub.
So far it's not been thriving that I've seen, but then with any server/game it's about finding where folk congregate.

I personally have never actively searched RPing. But I love to build my character and use spatial chat as well as emotes to build a characters gameplay. And I'll never use spatial chat for game questions and ONLY for relative discussions. If you pass me on the street, I'll probably greet you and ask questions as if I'm in character... I'll be curious to see how this grows.
