Returning Player - State of the Game.
Quote:
I never said anything about catgirls and specifically said I doubt this reflected MOST of Virtue. I do have to say though....for a server that prides itself on it's RP...always seems people try to downplay the RP when trying to convince others to play on Virtue. That is what got me to transfer a toon to Virtue...a friend played there "Oh the RP isn't there if you don't wanna deal with it etc." Seems every PUG I ended up in had RP. The toon I transferred to Virtue was a female toon..and I got no less than 50 unsolicited tells in 9 months about how "sexy" I was... So much so I put it in my bio that I was a guy...which didn't slow it down much LOL! Like I said: YMMV. I prefer Freedom for it's fast paced, min/max, trial/tf galore playstyle. People say min/max like it is a bad thing on these forums, but I just look at it at trying to make your character the best it can be...which is what I enjoy about CoH (and Mids woot!).
I hardly ever run into RP in the wild, but I suppose people do from time to time.
You were definitely in Pocket D when you reached this conclusion. That's right. We're a bunch of ERP catgirls that don't know how to play. Anecdotal evidence varies from person to person. I've had a lot of bad experiences on "Freedumb". I've seen a few BAFs that went way worse than any I'd ever seen on Virtue. The farm and PL spam is a constant annoyance. I also tend to get a lot of blind invites- even to SGs! |

That's because most of us who play on Virtue are aware that it's the "unofficial RP server", and not in any way official, and that RP on teams is something you normally have to look for if you want it.

That's more true now than ever. The reason "we" try to "downplay" the RP is that it's not really that common unless you go looking for it. Seriously.
In a way i almost envy you. See, while i don't actively look for RP most of the time i find it entertaining when it shows up in a PuG. Yet somehow i almost never seem to run into it and yet you who apparently dislike it find it everywhere you go. i guess it's sort of like how cats are always drawn to the person who has allergies.

Those two aren't actually connected. Roleplaying is not ERP, and RP is certainly not sexual harrassment regardless of your real-life gender.
Report the sexual harrassment and get rid of the perps.
Report the -actual- ERP if it's in a public space. Don't get it confused with roleplaying in a reasonable setting. For example, if you'd get annoyed at what two people were doing when you're in the cinema trying to watch the movie - then it's probably overstepping the rules in-game too.
Not that I've ever actually managed to run into actual ongoing ERP in game, in public or private. Don't know how people manage this.
You think all RPers actually like being lumped in with the ERP and sexual harrassment? It's offensive. It's as bad as lumping all PvPers in with the trash-talking gankers.

So I started up a Inv/SS tanker, a Emp/Psy defender (To replace Golden Angel) and some kind of scrapper or blaster at some point are in the plans.
Did a task force on Freedom, good group, very quickly got together. So surprised by how busy the game still is after all this time!
