Ever Get Settled?

Hi all,
I remember a while ago there was a debate raging about where to have as a central location for RP in CoV (GG equivalent) - was a location ever settled on? - or have I just opened up the can of worms again?

I remember that discussion. Nothing was ever really settled on. However I do see a certain amount of hope in the new zone "Grandville". The IGN reports mention it will be accessible for new players as well so it won't be much of a hazard zone for low levels. I think there are a lot of people on CoV just itching to give RP a try so I certainly think something should be agreed upon.

Plus Grandville appears to be full of statues so finding an equivalent to Galaxy girl shouldn't be a problem (9 PM under Ghost Widow's skirt anyone?).

If both sides develop a well-established RP community they could probably both benefit from it.

that jsut means it's not a Hazard Zone Warped, not that it is safe, i think thats a dangerous assuption that it will be safe for new palyers.

Well this is what it said in the report:

If those two additions weren't enough for you, Villains players will also get the chance to visit Grandville, Recluse's base of operations that will act like the villain's Atlas Park. Recluse even has had a giant statue of himself built to commemorate his greatness. The structure of Grandville is pretty amazing. Recluse's tower dominates the landscape and creates the first real vertical map in the game. While this is a place for all villains to gather (including new players) there are some very tough parts of the zone towards the top of the tower. Any player with the power of flight can fly to the top while others can take outside elevators. It's just a question of survival upon arrival to a new level.

Anyways I'm just thinking out loud here. We'll just have to wait and see I guess.

From the sounds of this I lifted off of Ten Ton Hammer it would seem not.....

The demo started with Grandville - a vertical zone (and we mean vertical zone - it's frikkin tall!) that houses Arachnos headquarters and some of Lord Recluse's failed experiments. As your villainous stature increases, you can (literally) climb the corporate ladder, moving up the vertical zone. To prevent players with flight / jump abilities from getting into areas they shouldn't be in, there's plenty of guards (including a few "beehives" that, when triggered, spawn sentry drones) that aren't shy about offering you a couple damage-laced reasons to leave.
