What about the Midnight Club? It has limitations - it's magic-oriented and you have to hit a certain level and run an arc to get in - but it has great atmosphere, it's legitimately co-op, and even on ITF week, it's not really that crowded. The tea-and-books feel couldn't be more different from the vodka-and-techno feel of the D. Somebody could use it to hold a symposium on arcane threats, for instance.

I propose that this happens, yes.
Ice/Ice Blaster. Dedication to concept is an ugly thing.
Claws/WP Brute. Sex without the angst.
Every CoX character lies somewhere on this spectrum.

I use the Midnighters Club on Thursday nights (8pm central) for the mystical part of our SG (Paragon Universe SG). We meet to discuss whats been going on with each other and then some mystical threat seems to pop up that we have to go stop (our AE/RP arc of the week). I moved it there a couple years ago in order to be more accessible to anyone that might wander by and take interest. |

I used to not worry about the Midnighters at the beginning, but now I realize it's access to ITF among other things, I try to get access as soon as possible.

Slight teasing aside, I have to admit that every time I decide to just wander around grandville I find somewhere new and cool. I've been planning on getting a Stalker up to the higher levels so I can explore the zone more. I can totally see that zone being used for awesome RP of all sorts.

And I know exactly how you feel. I decided to wander the tunnels near the helicopter transport... I was literally lost for an hour. I couldn't find the exit, and Arachnobots kept attacking me. Fun times, fun times.

Come meet Nalrok, Mandu. He's a demon. A big, royal demon prince. With horns. And he's Dark/Dark/Soul. And he eats souls. And he's really strong. But he also loves conversation, enjoys meeting people and forging new friendships, has a soft spot for opera, prefers verbal subterfuge to just smashing things into dust, and would sooner spend an evening walking the streets of St. Martial for fun than shredding CoT for no reason. That's not to say he won't end you if you piss him off, but still, he's not your stereotypical demon ****** like the rest of the evil populace. |

I don't end my sentences with them, unless it's an uncompleted thought and then I might, but I just don't know!

Now that I think of it, if the tunnel leading from the helicopter pad in Grandville (the only outside-accessible area besides the heavily guarded front gate) leads -directly- to the tower that Lord Recluse lives in... And the only thing that is guarding it are tiny Arachnobots in swarms that can be killed with a minor AoE...

Even though I actually -do- plan on most of these. Sometimes they really do fall in place exactly like I want them to.

Well, the Pocket D is accessible, especially for low level players. It's usually the very first recommended spot for finding some RP. For newer people that don't have a VG / SG, a big friend network, knows all the correct channels, and (due to level 15 reasons) can't really survive grandville unless they sit in a canoe off the coast... what other options are thereto go out and "find RP"?
For those that don't have the network all in place yet, finding RPers, either just RPing or mission-RPing is fricking HARD.
