I see LOTS of RP on Virtue. It's just not talked about on the forums, much. Virtue RPers tend to avoid the forums for its bad reputation of angry people. You know, like every chat board on the internet.

It's been a while since I dipped my toes in the RP pool, but from what I remember whilst Virtue and Union are the unofficial RP servers of their respective region, due Union's smaller playerbase the RP community there has galvanised. There is a singular continuity, for the most part, wherein plots overlap, intermingle and affect other plots. Of course there are still players who keep to their own personal canons, but a large number of RPers on Union are involved in the Union meta-plot, for lack of a better term.
That being said, the dynamic may have changed since I was last involved, but that's how I saw it.
----- Union's finest underachiever -----
Farewell CITY of HEROES
The First, the Last, the One.
Union: @ominousvoice2059
Nope, that's very much how things still are.
@FloatingFatMan
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Pretty much what OV said.
Virtue-ites seem to prefer their own personal or small group continuities. i.e. Hero X is the one who stopped Wade-laruu, or beat up Recluse, etc etc.
Union sticks pretty closely to the 'Unionverse' continuity, where player events and timelines inter-cross and are considered Union canon. For example, the build up of Mots power in DA recently, and what happened to certain characters.
While it's perfectly feasible to have your character run into big-name NPCs and fight and win, etc, there is never 'Hero X who beat Vahzilok for good'. So, in Unionverse Frostfire is now reformed (as he is in later tip missions), Hero One is back with Vanguard and recovering, Mot has been bound for good by the Dream Doctor (although DA is still a mess, understandably)
So....yeah, pretty sure Virtue is still doing what it does. Just Union RP is more noticeable on the forums, for the most part

Oh that would explain it. Seriously, I thought something had happened because of all the union based posts and groups opening up. Well that is interesting.
Is it me or does all the roleplaying take place on union now? All these threads seem union based and most of the super/villain groups are as well.
What exactly happened during in the great global merge that caused this event? Or is it just me and the rp stuff is equal on both servers?
I remember once that Virtue was supposed to be a place to RP in the U.S and Union was... everything in the UK. XD
