A piece of advice.... I've found this INVALUABLE. It wasent my idea, I saw someone use it on the first day of retail and havent seen anyone else do it since(though I use it constantly).
I loathe hunting alone-leveling grind = the boring! I always try to find roleplayers to group with if none of my friends or super group members are handy....
/request "Hero Network-testing 2,3,4. This is your chance to fight alongside The Flake! I, The Flake need the assistance of several capes security levels X to Y. Dont pass up this chance to tell your friends you fought alongside The Flake in person! Com info to follow ((Roleplayers only-message me as if a radio))".
Role play the request channel as a hero radio network but throw in a little "personality" like I did to make it interesting.
In this example I play an ice blaster who thinks very highly of himself who goes by the name the flake, so the message is suitably adjusted to show that opinion.
I usually send this message off in Atlas park, then tram to galaxy city and do it once there.
I have had ENORMEOUS success with this, met ALOT of really nice people and had a lot of fun.
Why does no one else do this?
