Virtue's RP crowd

[Acanous]

Just so I can get an idea of who to track down, and who would be there on launch day, please post here if you'd be back in the 'D at relaunch.

I'll be there on Acanous :D

[Power Gamer]

I'll be there!

[MWRuger]

I would like to be there but I had a hard time finding a group.

Most had very strict requirements about how you played and penalties for breaking character. some wanted written applications or auditions. It was like trying to get into community theater if you haven't been in community theater for 5 years already.

I was, and am looking for a more laid back experience where you can play have fun and not worry that you are "doing it wrong". I wanted to play my character but not have it be a buzzkill if I made a meta reference or a mechanics reference.

[Teikiatsu]

I'll be around, keeping my distance from the Local range of the ERPrs and furries.

[Nyx Nought Nothing]

i'll be there. Admittedly none of my alts were likely to be directly involved in most high drama, but had no issues inadvertently (or advertently) facilitating it.

[Steelhelm]

I never tried RP'ing in CoH, but I have seen others do it. My main character was in Virtue, so I think I might try it because it always looked pretty interesting to me. I might be in Pocket D if I have time. :D

[Power Gamer]

The reason I had so many toons in CoX was for RPing.

It allowed me to tell the story of each persona.

^ This

Like Power Gamer, my characters largely existed to tell their stories.  Though many did not get much past the blurb that would have appeared on the back of the card for their action figure.

[Blackshear]

Will be there, and I'll probably gravitate to the D the second I'm able.

[Ultraamann]

No, I'll be out stomping things.

Champion 4 life!

[Sajaana]

Sajaana will be there.

And Jean...well...seeing as how Acanous got her out of Paragon City, It'll be up to Acanous to bring her back.  ;)

I was a 7 year COH veteran. During the course of my time with the game, there would be random 1/2 month spells sprinkled about every now and then that would draw my attention elsewhere (whether it be boredom, schoolwork getting in the way, or just wanting to take a break). But I would allllllllways get sucked back in.

...A HUGE reason for that draw back to COH (and there were several reasons, of course) was the RP community on Virtue. Seriously, people - if/when this game comes back and you are for whatever reason interested in the RP element of the CoX franchise, I HIGHLY suggest swinging by Virtue and checking things out. The RP scene was thriving like CRAZY over there. Whether it be doing in-character mission runs with your SG mates or just heading to the Pocket to 'chat up' a pretty stranger by the railing, or to witness a drunk bar fight between a cat lady and a zombie shark...there was always insanely entertaining stuff going down via RP on Virtue. So good.

I know lots of the RP'ers used to gather around Gemini park in Galaxy waaaaaay back when, but unfortunately that was before I even knew RP existed and I was still on Freedom haha. The RP on Virtue just offered an entirely different way to play the game. It made the world all the more real and tangible - and you felt yourself grow even more emotionally invested in your characters, knowing you were watching their lives and back stories unfold with other like-minded players.

Waaaaaaah. I miss it.

Most of the best RP (IMO) on Virtue was found outside of Pocket D, but for ad hoc clique social drama RP i suspect it was one of the best locations. Certainly some of the most amusing social drama RP i ever saw was in Pocket D and it was amusing to hang out and watch it. Never directly saw ERP there, but i was okay with that, really.

Good RP depends on people, not locations.  The D was where I met all the people I RPed with, and should the game ride again I hope to see them there again.

[pogoman]

I didn't care much for the rp that went on in Pocket D. However, when Virtue server went down, i was in Pocket D and eeing as so many people will be there when the City comes back up...Yeah, how can I NOT be there with everyone to celebrate and party all night long??!!??  ;D

[Blackgrue]

I'm making diz, natalia... and maybe another.

[Cryono]

OH come on we all want the D

there was certainly some of this going on. I've seen it in other role play settings to, an insidious elitism to keep out anyone who doesn't look, act, or think like "the in crowd"

[AmberOfDzu]

I used to visit the D now and then. Yes, some of the RP there was kind of insular and even clique-ish, but a lot wasn't. I met some good friends there, and had a lot of fun dancing with the Cape crew now and then. Often I was just one of the people leaning on a rail and hanging out quietly, but when the mood was right and people seemed friendly, it could make me smile and feel welcome.

You know, no other MMO has made me feel welcome since. I miss it too, and will be back if/when it returns.

[LaughingAlex]

You can bet the first character I make will be there on launch day.  Probably a corruptor or mastermind.
