Hello everyone. As you all know, we're getting closer to release. More people are being brought into the game daily, and while there have been a number of RP Tribes being set up, I think its time we start building the foundation for the RP Community. My thoughts, are creating a network hub for all Role Playing Tribes, and all non-tribed role players as a whole. I'm thinking about hosting with Guildportal, and creating an open applicant system, as well as public priveleges to the community calendar there. This place will be a hub for Storytelling, Biographies, RP Tribal recruitment, Event Collaborating, and whatever other need we can see fit for it. I plan on purchasing the domain: www.Xsyon-RP.com, if available. I'll Keep you all informed on the progress of the website, and would like to go ahead and recruit some admins and moderators here for those who would be interested in undergoing such a task.

Hope this topic receives some positive feedback. :)

I would never suggest buying a domain with a - (dash) in it. Try to think of another name that works IMO.

Ah, interesting. Glad to hear that the administration is doing some things to help out with the RP Community. I'm eager to see what comes our way! :)

@ Inferno:

The other alternative I came up with would be www.XysonRoleplayers.com

Longer, but no dash.

I usally play alone. Not because I don't get along with others, but I have MS and have a hard time keeping up with groups. I would just like to build a little log cabin and defend it as best I can. So I guess I'm RP all the way. Of cause I don't mind having help from alliances & neghbors.

Sorry, as for on topic--as a former creator and admin of a game roleplayers site, I will tell you: It will be FAR better if they do something here on the official forums, because building the community away from it is a Herculean task and it seems most people are not up to cruising multiple sites. They tend to stick with one. Maybe people get tired of of repeating themselves. maybe clicking to a new site is painful :P But having things all together tends to make people happier. Just what I have noted.

If you are up for it, I say go ahead. But be warned it may not have much traffic, even from a vibrant RP community. Or the traffic will be very quiet (since WHEN are roleplayers EVER quiet?? REALLY?? I swear it is an enigma...).

I'd love to see if the official forums here toss in a roleplay section where we can congregate, and not worry about missing someone who didn't notice the roleplayers moved to a "different" site.

Good to hear!

Although opening up a roleplay/story forum early is a good idea to set the stage for launch. It will also keep some of the troops occupied :). Eve-Online and Dark and Light did this with good results.

RP threads can be great but you always get someone that comes along and spoils it. One time we had a great one running on the RV forums, we got it planned out and some of it was played out in game too, but it ended up being trashed!
I would love to see a good RP thread that doesnt get trashed.

This ^^ AND:
Never publicly advertise what domain you "plan" on buying.

Many people look for these then register it to stop you from doing so, they will then sell it for more nad such.

I agree that we should focus the RP community's effort on this forum as soon as the Admins give us a spot for it. Of course we all should hope that any people who go into an RP forum to trash it and mock roleplayers will be dealt with by the moderators of that forum( That is why moderators exist afterall) with posibly a permanent ban from taht specific forum, as well as an automatic delete of his post.

I have also experienced the difficulties of moving part of a community to another site. Most Rpers are more mature players who have busy RL and already juggle between this forum, their Tribe's forum and the game. And since we, as Rpers, dont spend our gaming hours running around naked and jumping afk people, we tend to use a lot more of our time productivilly, not only roleplaying but planning plots, events and setting goals.

With all this I mean that we usually lack the time to control whats happening at yet another forum.

I'd vote for a centralized community here, on these forums. If other people dont like RP they can make their own separate (insert any other MMO activity here) community website.

I claim a Tribal Totem for the RP COmmunity on top of these Forums!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok, so Lag is dicreasing, game is getting more stable. Are we ready to round up the rpers and start pushing for something? At least forum wise I believe we should ask for a place of our own (RP forum) and ask that at least it gets slightly moderated to keep trolls at bay.

Its time for RP community inside the Xsyon community to get organized. Dont you all think?

The Wolverines have set up http://www.newvegasrepublic.com as an RP site. We welcome anyone and everyone to join, not necessarily the NVR, but the community and get some RP going.

We also have http://news.newvegasrepublic.com set up as a newspaper and a radio. We'll be focussing on RP and hop to make the radio station more in-character to encourage RP.

First, big <3. SWG vet, charmed so far, carebear but not QQ, dying a lot and having a lot of fun. Built for shaman/horse tamer, and someday the PKs will kiss my feet. Meanwhile, I just travel light...:)


Also to note while this is all good we want RPing to be done in game ironically enough :silly:

This r not a MUD :silly:

I can tell it's not a MUD. You know why? MUDs have better chat systems for RPers. ;)

I will not RP except in /t until the chat system (a) works as advertised (i.e. fewer doubled letters, using a slash command consistently works,...); and (b) range is more nuanced (i.e. spatial chat carries 10-15 feet); and (c) there is group chat or chat channels (preferably with kick rights).

May I suggest taking one of the IRC channels with a BSD 3-clause or similar license and patching it in? Many are very small/efficient, they are all very familiar, and give real flexibility. It would also conceivably open up things like outside connections to the chat server for those times when one is on a bus from NYC to Boston and needs to check in as an officer on an iphone.

Meanwhile, I'd love to start a Ghost Dance cult on the RP forums, tyvm! Lets see an official one!
