(OOC) Unofficial RP server?

Dear Community,

A while ago I vaguely heard something about an unofficial Role-playing server where RPers generally centered on. Is there any truth to this? If so, what server?

The conventional wisdom is that it's Virtue, and there's certainly a good RP community there. However, I've not found there to be significanltly more RP'ers there than on Triumph or Guardian. This is particularly the case if you subtract the "sit around in Gemini Park and unleash an avalanche of angst" style of RP...and I do.

For better or worse, RP'ers are pretty well scattered around the servers.

FWIW, I RP with all my characters (over 50 active toons). Feel free to flip me a /tell, in-game. My Global is @Dollhouse.

It is my place to stand.
We few shall carry hope
Within our bloodied hands."

Thank you both for your very swift and equally helpful responses. I fully intend to get my account running within the next few hours and it's great to be able to see already that people are generally kind and helpful.

If it isn't too much to ask, could you tell me your server Dollhouse? You seem to know the ins and outs of the community pretty well.

Well, if dollhouse has over 50 chars, she's probably spread over most of the servers.

Bah! Avalanches of angst are good for you and quite tasty!

. . . But yes, she's right I'm sure. I don't play much on Triumph and Guardian, so I wouldn't know about that.

Did someone say angst? <_<

Yes. CoH has a nice RP community. Virtue is the unofficial RP server, as has been stated, but there are small enclaves of us in hiding on other servers as well. :P


Japancakes.

I've played on about...three servers. Freedom, Protector, and Virtue. Freedom, while it has the most population ever, is generally the typical "hey, everyone's here!" server, which leads to plenty of noobs, and (for lack of a better word) asswads. It's also the unofficial PvP server, which is the only reason I still hang there.
Protector is quite possibly the least populated server, and I have seen next to no RPers on it during my time spent there. I know of...very, very few.
Virtue is my home, and yes, I would say it's the traditional RP server. Almost half of the people you look at are roleplayers. However with the good comes the bad, and there are plenty of horrible roleplayers and cyber-seekers as well as brilliant roleplayers and storyarcs everywhere.

In any case, welcome to the game, enjoy your stay.

Well, I'm on Protector, and I RP! And, ah, Essex over there is. . . and so is Khell. . . that's three people! See? LOTS of RP on Protector! Assuming one of us is on!

. . . Hehe. I talk too much. Oh, and welcome.

Helper pops up with one finger pointed upwards in an explanatory fashion:

"Ahh; Angst (n) : an acute but unspecific feeling of anxiety; usually reserved for philosophical anxiety about the world or about personal freedom."

He quirks his head to one side.

"It seems odd that people are using there leisure time to feel badly."

I'd say Protector, simply because I run 2 VGs which are in a 4 VG Coalition of ALL Roleplayers, and I also know of about 15 other roleplayers, and two other VGs we are looking into as possible Coalition partners presently. (Will only coalition with all RP groups)

Virtue, from what I've seen, has been all "adult" RP. I couldn't play there without my character getting hit on. Protector has been grand, deep characterization in classic comic-book style. Granted, you have to look past a lot, but that's where the pickiness in the VGs help.

Seriously? Most people on Virtue that I strted RPing with told me to stop it, it was annoying when they're trying to play.

Meh. I'm on Pinnacle, if anyone wants to say hi. @Leeksoup.

I find it sad when the PCs have less personality than the Goldbrickers. Them and their chocolate fixation. :-)

Ah yes, Megaera. I believe I remember you. Schizophrenias once fought Deathsurge with you nearby. . . Wasn't really RPing in game at the time. Too chicken.

Oh, yes! I remember you! LOVED your macros! Meg was impressed with your *character*. She likes people with *character* :-) They make good stories, and that's her big deal.
I'm mostly hanging out as Aphroditie these days, same group tho. Give me a jingle if you're in the neighborhood. :-)
