A couple of friends and I were talking about global channels available to us as roleplayers and gamers, and often times, the two seem mutually exclusive. Roleplayer channels seem to focus on meeting other rp'ers and discussing rp-related issues, which is fine, but seem to discourage advertising for teams, TFs/SFs, and trials. Other global channels that focus on getting teams and the like together include both non-rp'ers and rp'ers, and therefore, the activity tends to be a non-rp or wholly ooc event.
So, we thought why not blend the two?
Let me be clear here: We don't wish to pull people from either of the channel types listed above. We're interested in seeing if we can give an alternative to roleplayers out there who would like to participate in IC teams, IC TFs/SFs, etc. Non-rp'ers would, of course, be welcome, but with the understanding that these gatherings would be just as focused on RP as on the gaming aspect of the activities.
The focus of this global channel would not be discussion, but basically an LFT for Roleplayers who wish to play with other Roleplayers on Virtue. Members would be encouraged to start RP events/teams/TFs/SFs/Trials/Raids on their own, as well as attend those scheduled by the mods of the channel (each of the 4 of us are committed to schedule at least one event a month).
The channel is public, and we welcome roleplayers of all types and backgrounds to join. When you do, you'll find yourself silenced, but all you have to do is send a mod a tell, and we'll unsilence you. We ask that no drama be brought to the channel and discussions unrelated to the subject of the channel be taken elsewhere.
So, please, check us out! We'd love to see the channel membership grow and become a place where fellow roleplayers can find more roleplayers who enjoy playing the game ICly!
Channel Name: Roleplayers LFT
If this is successful, a FB page (we need 25 likes to make it an official page?) and group calendar will be coming soon!
