Hello. I just started with City of Villains (haven't played CoH before either) and would like to ask some newbie questions about RPing in this game.
There's bound to be some around, as we have this section here on the official forums and all, but how active is the scene in-game? My previous experience about RPing in MMORPGs comes from WoW where RPing does happen.. occasionally, when people ain't grinding orange cave or reputation or something, so Im trying to map the RP possibilities of CoV a bit now. I've seen some threads about some great big meetingplaces for roleplayers in CoV, but so far haven't really managed to find out where these places could be and how high level you need to reach them. Could someone point out some tips where villains go to loiter and pass the time when they ain't beating good-doers, if such places exist?
Also I would like to ask about the general attitude towards roleplayers. If I try to RP to some generic persons I run across in the game, will I be more likely to be ridiculed or RPed with? I've only seen the first 10 levels of the game and the speed has been that hectic that I haven't really had even time to think about RPing yet, but I would like to get to know that side of the game too. Preferably sooner than later.
So if you happen to have any tips or hints that you think would help a total CoV newbie to find some nice RP in this game, please reply to this thread
