Still, I wonder if that same structure can be kept if a mass influx of RPers hit Union. Smaller groups can keep the structure better, which is why I think Union can pull this off now, while virtue can't.
Admittedly I'm pretty out of touch with the community outside my SG and a handful of friends, so I may be making assumptions based on old information. But from what I saw and experienced back in the day, it wasn't the number of RPers on Virtue that hurt it's sense of cohesion so much as the rivalries that used to go on between prominent RPers and their cliques. Speaking for myself and for several of my friends, we gave up on trying to tie our RP into the RP of others who weren't close personal friends exactly because we didn't want to get dragged into some blowout over Rocket Pants having committed a minor alleged godmoding two years ago and Space Trunk Man still being upset about it. I don't want to get specific and invite a flame war, but you know what I mean. The general rank and file of Virtue RPers have always struck me as fairly unproblematic, it's been the "movers and shakers", as it were, that have in some cases been a problem. If Union's more prominent and popular RPers and cliques are able to conduct themselves differently, I could see that cohesion maybe surviving the addition of a few Virtueites.

I feel that the most likely thing is that the currently existing group cohesion will remain intact, with perhaps a few Virtueites joining in the beginning. Most will likely come over, bring there friends, and form their own groups. Though considering how most of us only really have time for one group as is, I'm not sure how fast this would happen, if at all.

I think this is most likely how it will happen, especially as a lot our RP happens in the evening which would be about middle of the afternoon for you. However, once the merger happens, I think some kind of IC meet and greet would be a good idea. Mmmm.... I've already got a few ideas forming...

maybe start a Union-Virtue Rp channel?

It could be a type of Earth 1 meets earth 2 deal....Virtue of course being earth 1


as Ood Sigma said....We will sing to you, Doctor. The universe will sing you to your sleep. This song is ending. But the story never ends.

As a big fan of Comedic RP characters, I am happy for the EU server, but Now I have to find out what makes people in France Laugh, and this might be the Hardest task yet.


Fortunately I understand British humor at least.

((I wonder if the devs will offer a free server transfer window?))

This might be worth putting together a server-specific roleplay event. I would be willing to dedicate my time and shiny new character slots to playing with even a few of the fine folks in this thread.

C'mon, Union--think you could show some new characters the ropes?


There are no words for what this community, and the friends I have made here mean to me. Please know that I care for all of you, yes, even you. If you Twitter, I'm MrThan. If you're Unleashed, I'm dumps. I'll try and get registered on the Titan Forums as well. Peace, and thanks for the best nine years anyone could ever ask for.

This pretty much.

But for me this means that maybe I can go to another server and RP where I don't have to worry so much about politics and something that happened years ago ruining what could be great RP. So I am not being selfless like you, I see this is an opportunity for me.

Part Pack: Now the majority of players know how we, PvPers, have felt for years now. Don't want to be so "civil" now that you have been completly ignored, do you?

Woo I'd be able to have a new server, and be able to RP with all new people. Well, that's after they put in the global server list.

Just about all the SG/VG drama and rage I have encountered on this server has come from one single person, and they're not playing right now.
