- Is Virtue mostly Role-players? - Yes. Very yes. We have a big ol RP-magnet in the middle of the server, so the highest concentration of Arr Pea is here. It's a nice atmosphere, I must say.
Of course, you still see the occasional Sephigolas, but not as many outside Atlas.
- Is Virtue full of elitist cliques? - Well, I wouldn't say FULL of elitist cliques. But there sure as hell are elitist cliques. I've made it a point to make enemies with several of them, but I can still always find nice people to team up with, so Pugging is just dandy despite those cliquey bastards.
EDIT: WEEEEEEELLCOOOOOOOOME! WEEEEELCOOOOOOOOOME!
Sephigolas??

While some folks will paint "LOL Virtue" as a RP paradise in all honesty like most servers your time here is what you make of it .
most of the folks here are joe average gamers that like to fiddle with the costume creator , level a bit and hang out with friends real salt of the earth types , some of us want to rp our personal creations and flesh them out a tad .
but like any server you'll find your fair share of less than desireable community members , my small bit of advice is roll with it and move on.
The Virtue forums are on the other hand mostly Role players or Role player tolerant folks so its never a bad idea to throw your name out there in the hopes of meeting folks here first who can introduce you to folks once in game saving you a bit of time you might otherwise waste playing the shy wall flower (I had the hardest time introducing myself when I first got intrested in actually talking to players )
you don't have to roleplay , nor will you be considered a social pariah if you decide that maybe being inducted in the secret order of ((bracket)) speech isn't for you ...but honestly give it a try you may find you enjoy it .

the forums on Virtue are super active and a great way to find RP SG's as well as non RP sg's that are active and take great care of their members .
while not a member I always like to give a shout out to the Paragonian Knights as a very Large SG with several affliated groups covering both RP and nonrp as well as a incrediabley active global channel .
And speaking of channels I strongly suggest joining VU2009 , your silenced upon entry but pm any mod and they will unsilence you ...VU2009 is almost a cornerstone of virtue and a great way to find teams and such .

Virtue seems to have the healthiest Good, Mature Player : Jackass ratio. You do see the occasional Darth Vegetas and Hellfunk Grimdark, but for each one, there's about a 50% chance of irony.
Aside from the excessive monologing mid-battle and frequent requests for "MRP?" the one thing I appreciate about the Rp-heavy environment is that the people on Virtue take more pride in their toons. Their costumes, their back stories, their clever little key binds and finesses. People really tend to create and mold their characters here, not just level them up.
Stay Gold, Paragon. Stay Gold.

Thanks for the input! Is there an RP primer somewhere that will explain terms like "a request for 'MRP'?" or "bracket speech (( ))"? I've skimmed over the thread An Idiot's Guide to RP but I don't remember seeing any terms or definitions in there?
Cheers!
The double brackets mean OOC, or: "Out Of Character". Because there is so much RP here, people usually tend to stay in character, and when they have to speak out of character, they do it like this: ((gotta run for a bit, thanks for the team))
Good luck on your venture into this fair server, you'll find there are way more nice people than there are snobs. I think you'll like it on Virtue.
MRP = Mature Roleplay
ERP = Erotic Roleplay
Pretty much the same thing, although many a soul in Pocket D will argue the many nuanced differences. A lot of talking dirty in the first and second person.
If you don't like writing descriptions about how you'd undress someone, or reading about how they would undress you, steer clear of it. On the other hand, if you do, welcome to Pocket D!
Stay Gold, Paragon. Stay Gold.

There is more to Pocket D than watching Deebs MT's. (Love you long time Deebs!) Most of us DJs for The Cape Radio (Link in sig) tend to do our shows from there and we try to be a friendly bunch as much as possible.
Well excpet for me who is a super secret clique of 1 (If that is possible) and tolarates the insolent others (Just Kidding).

MRP and ERP aren't really the same thing. Some MRPers ERP, and some ERPers MRP, but they two groups are not synonymous.
MRP tends to include people that will curse, kill, maim, or otherwise do R-rated things in their Roleplay (otherwise interaction tends to default to PG-13 thanks to the game's Teen rating).
ERP tends more towards the X-rated, but ERPers might be, aside from the sexual exploits, otherwise completely tame.
Someone that lists MRP/ERP probably has few boundaries in their play.
See, I always though Mature Roleplay focused more on 401k contributions, mortgage options, and the right time to start getting colon exams.

I was always under the impression ERP stood for Elderly Role Play , I've been loging in my 80 year old retiree and hobbling around looking for my dentures in pocket D ...sadly no takers so far ...and for a 80 year old she is the hawtness in her babydoll tee and hotpants .
who woulda thought that the E in ERP stood for erotic and not elderly !
geesh
See, and I thought the E stood for Exceptional which is why Deebs brings out the 80 year old retiree!
Oh and that is Mr. Trouble to you. *grin*

I used to classify MRP as no real boundaries well handled, well written, with mutually agreed to limits. ERP as the folks who say "Can I RP you? to my female characters."
