Right, so anyone who doesn't play the game your way (many alts, many servers) is doing it wrong.
Exactly! At least SOMEONE gets it!

Tell ya what. Let's take advantage of the free transfers and play server tag. Here's how it works - you announce any character transfers you're planning, and I vacate that server as fast as possible. It's a mutually beneficial situation because we both have one less idiot to put up with.
I hate to break your heart like this.... but I'm on EVERY server.

So it looks like you're screwed.

Here, I'll help you then: my global is @The Player

Ignore away. The Notes feature is also good.

I was going to post two reasons in the form of a single pic but my camera batteries are recharging.

Duly noted, but the likelihood that you will be on every server simultaneously is remote.

I rarely make use of the /ignore feature, because playing "Will I meet a jackass online?" Russian roulette is one of the few joys left to me.

Virtue has me and I have nice boobies.

You and everyone else... well, mostly everyone else.

I love Virtue. I really do. There's a lot of douches around, but also a lot of REALLY good people, roleplayers or not.

Where is this mythical disgusting ERP in the Virtue D? I've heard all sorts of horror stories, but the handful of times I've dropped by the D, the worst thing I ever saw was a group of people /rp Fighting, and all of them trying to win.

Pass on the invite. Thanks, though. I'm just curious if the stories are exaggerations, outliers, or a baseline. Have I lucked out, or are most people relating their absolute best stories, but neglecting bunches of times where nothing went down?

Seriously... I have alts on MANY servers right now. In my opinion anyone that restricts themselves to one server either simply doesn't have enough characters yet.... or is an idiot.
<------Has restricted himself to basically one server....And has 50 alts now.

The majority keep it in teamchat, so if you see two characters somewhere being suspiciously quiet... get that mind in the gutter!
Which gives rise to stories of horrible MTs! Heard a couple of... interesting ones!
Still, i only head to the D when utterly bored - so i could be wrong!

Like Underworld? Then take a look at! http://moonid.net/account/recruitmen.../monstersgame/

Playing on more than one server would spread out my prestige earning so I can't keep building up my SG base as fast. So I don't.

It happens in tells, in dark corners. Every once in a while, someone drops a tell into broadcast by mistake and hilarity ensues. That then fuels the ERP gossip for the next six months.

The real horror stories from Virtue's Pocket D are about characters with names like 'arbiter dark death godess'. If you thought ridiculous character concepts hurt to read normally, now imagine them trying to roleplay.

Having Vengeance and Fallout slotted for recharge means never having to say you're sorry.

I usually make an effort to avoid anyone with the appended titles: Goddess, Princess, Queen, Lady, Lord, Baron...etc.

ERP isn't as widespread as you might think. Lets just put it this way; you won't walk into Pocket D and find yourself stummbling into an orgy of ERPers. Yes, there are those dumb enough to engage in ERP in Pocket D, but they tend to keep to the back rooms and dark corners and to themselves (strangely enough in the VIP sections or near the arena terminals.)

My advice if you are seriously considering RP on Virtue, is to find a VG or SG that either has a casual or a more liberal approach to RP. (I'd like to disuade you from joining the "hardcore" RP groups as they tend to engage in ERP more so than the casual RPers and they tend to become wrapped up in all sorts of RP political drama among their rank and file.) and avoid Pocket D RP as much as possible...
