Returning roleplayer

Hey everyone! I've been lurking about for a week now, attempting to learn my way around again. I thought it was time to unlurk and say hello....so Hello!

It's actually been quite some time since I last played. I started out on Virtue back in 2006. Most of the people I played with have moved on and are in who knows what game now. I've played several MMO's over the last 12 years and been a table top gamer longer than that. What keeps me in a game is friendships, the roleplay and storytelling, and lastly the game. Even if a game is drying up, as long as the friendships and roleplay are there, I stay, because they are what makes it fun and worth playing. It's what has kept me in my previous game as long as it has. However, those people have moved on to other games now, or are taking a break till a few other games of their choice are launched. My brother recently started playing this again and of course talked me into giving it a try, however, he isn't much of a roleplayer, and well....I need my rp fix!

Which brings me to my reason for posting (besides saying hi of course!). I've been reading the forums, absorbing all the information I can. Some of the info is a few years old so I figured I'd check to see what was current.

Channels in game - Being able to connect with other roleplayers is huge, and I know the best start is here on the forums. I know many rp communities also have channels in game where they can connect with other roleplayers for roleplay and hunting as well. I've read about #Roleplayers and #Virtue Verse, but I haven't really seen anyone chatting in them. Are there other channels people use?

Roleplay Hot Spots - With Galaxy City gone, I know that there is one less roleplay meeting grounds. I've heard that Pocket D is still around and read that Atlas Park is still a good place to find roleplay. Where do people generally go to find lots of random roleplay?

Supergroups - It's my hope to meet people in my travels that I mesh with and can find a home with them, but it's always good to know the names of guild/supergroup so you can look out for their members and hopefully get to know them and have them get to know me. I notice a list for what it looked like was July 2011 to Jan 2012. There was only a small list (maybe 4-6?). Are there any other suggestions for roleplay supergroups?

Lore - I love to wrap the lore of the game around my character, makes the characters seem more developed. I've seen a couple places listed...paragonwiki, Virtue Verse, etc. Since I obviously have alot of catching up to do lore wise was well, any awesome places you'd recommend?

Whew, that was a lot of text....sorry for the long post.

In game, I'm often found on either Fallen Psyche (Villian/Dominator) or Lady Sereine (Hero/Controller). I cleaned out most of the rest of my characters as the either had stories that flopped, or they didn't have a story. Both of these characters I've had since I last played, though I rerolled Lady Sereine so I could experience the game fresh. Yes, I have a love of healers and enchanters. I've been told it's a serious illness

Hope to meet some of you soon!

I'm not very knowledgeable about supergroups, but I can hopefully help in some other categories.

Oddly enough, Virtue LFG Beta has found me some good RP. Tons of groups at any given time; and you'd be surprised with how many RPers you'll meet through it.

The Pocket D is a mainstay, as is Atlas. You'll also find a fair bit of RP in any other high traffic zone, like the Rikti War Zone. I've even come across some RP in Cim, just because it's such a unique zone compared to the rest of the game.

If nothing else, feel free to drop me a line ingame: @Square Woot I'm always happy to help should you need advice or someone to run missions with, and always looking to make new RP friends!

I guess I should add, my global is @Kydaria

Thank you, Square Woot! I'll add that to my list of channels.

Welcome!

Thanks for the welcome, FeyDuex!

If you have any "classic" style characters (Golden Age to early Silver Age of comics; retro (Rocketeer) or spandex costumes; up to early 1960's style selfless hero types), check out our website. The link is in my .sig for the Golden Age Heroes SGs. We also have some great coalition partners if our groups aren't a perfect fit.

Gods of the Golden Age (main group)
Young Gods of the Golden Age (teen/young adult heroes)
New Gods of the Golden Age (reformed villains/rogues)


Gods Protect! (<---our slogan)

Oh hey there. It's SolarDjinn, from the other day. Welcome back, Kydaria.

Hey there, SolarDjinn! I remember you from the other days discussion in RP Virtue I really enjoyed our discussion that day!

Power_Play, thank you so much for replying! I am really looking forward to getting into some rp with the rest of the Virtue RP community. I'll definitely be looking over your site. I'm also working on a Virtue Verse Profile for both Fallen Psyche and Lady Sereine so I have something for people to learn a little more about each of them. You know, I think I saw a few of your members from the Young Gods of the Golden Age roleplaying in Atlas park a few days ago

Sorry for not replying sooner! I was a bit absorbed in decorating my Villian's base the last couple days. She was part of a Villian Group from when I played a few years ago. None of the 6 members that made up the Villian Group are playing anymore, so I have been learning the ropes of decorating in CoH. It was something I enjoyed doing a TON in the last game I played. Too bad they don't have personal housing. I could definitely see building a nice little modern apartment for Lady Sereine.

I would recommend "RP Virtue" as a global channel that can lead to rp. It's generally well populated, and is prone to silliness and off-roleplay-topic chatter, but rp teams and task forces get organized there, along with casual rp sessions.

I have been lurking in the Rp Virtue channel the last few days and seems like there is always people talking in there, at least in the evenings, I'll have to jump in more often.
