A great sentiment. I try to play in character often. I almost always will if there is another role player in the team.
Some of us from the 1AT Coalition are hoping to run an IC Task Force in the next week or two. You're very welcome to come along if you fancy it.
Most of the time I fight in character in teams. It's quite fun.
Thanks Roentgenstorm
But I'm a bit on the low lev side(7) I imagine you're higher. Are TFs open to anyone or do you need to be in an sg or of a certain lev?
Battleflag
SGs are set to minimum lvls
See here: http://www.nofuture.org.uk/coh/story_arcs
So the first one available is Positron where you need to be higher than lvl 9, 2nd is Synapse at lvl 15+ etc. They also have a maximum lvl, so although you could do Positron at lvl 33 you'd be exemped down to lvl 15/16 and gain no xp.
There are also minimum team sizes required to start the task forces but you don't have to belong to the same SG to do those basic ones 
I posted my first experiences of IC playing in General Discussion in an effort to encourage others to do the same. Please take a look if you're interested. I'm avoiding repeating my posts(the big ones anyway) in fear of Bridger's wrath.

Where are the Heroes?
Ive met the button pressers and mouse movers but where are the grim knights, the jokey heroes, the distant mystics, the practical leaders, the reluctant fighters, the aloof strangers, the strange aliens? This is a wonderful game in a wonderful world. Next time your character is running along, look at the light reflect off his/her costume and be aware of all that is going on around him/her. Lets make the most of it!
Union is the place for role play I am told, and so it is, but only just. Lets start introducing the heroes to each other, put IC PLAYER in your team comment and see if we can get something started. I dont want to compete with the Galaxy Girl crowd, I simply want to offer a first stepping stone to role play.
NO RULES, NO GUIDELINES, JUST TYPE IC PLAYER INTO YOUR TEAM SEARCH AND TRY TO PLAY IN CHARACTER AS MUCH AS YOU CAN. SEE IF WE CAN ALL GET TOGETHER AND MAKE THIS THE COMIC BOOK EXPERIENCE THAT MUST HAVE ATTRACTED MANY OF US UN THE FIRST PLACE.
Im Battleflag and Ill be looking for you. I try to play most nights between 7 and 9ish UK time. But I dont need to be there as long as you can spot each other, lets use the search comment to help us enjoy the game.
Thanks
