Hey everyone! Fenaqua here just giving a couple of Updates! The Seventh Legion has grown in the past few weeks, and we're ecstatic to have met all our new friends! New guild mates and old are teaming up even more often now to run Flashpoints, Operations, Level together and start new Roleplaying stories! We've got lots of people hitting 55 lately and can't wait to get them ready for the latest Operations! In addition to our RP assignments created by the officers to be run by an Intrepid team of legionnaires, we will be starting a weekly Roleplay briefing session to express the team effort of the Legion In Character as well as Out! Thanks so much for your interest, and I hope you head to our website, apply and see us in game very soon!

A reminder for anyone interested, this event will be starting one hour from now, at 8 pm eastern! We'll be meeting in the western gardens of the Senate Plaza on Coruscant. If you need directions, feel free to whisper me in game!

This coming Tuesday, March 12th, at 8 pm EST I will be holding a Roleplaying event with which has been a lot of fun in the past. Karrala, a Jedi Master, scholar and teacher, will be on Coruscant to offer a Class from a Jedi's perspective to any interested in learning or open mindedness. We will be meeting in the Senate gardens, just outside the entrance to the Tower proper. While civil debate is a must, dissenting views and opinions are welcomed. This class is not a guild event. There will be no active recruitment, and those in guilds are welcome to come have fun right alongside those without! This event can be a way to meet other RPers, have meaningful interaction outside a cantina setting, gain insight into your own or other characters, or even see what all this 'Roleplay' business is about in the first place! Past events [on Tython] Have covered topics such as lightsaber forms, the Jedi Code and the make up of the republic government. This tuesday's class will begin with a few opening remarks from Karrala on the Treaty of Coruscant after which she will subside into a role as moderator for a class discussion consisting of it's effect on the Galactic Republic. With good turn out and feedback, I hope to run these types of events every other week covering a range of topics. The best way to contact me with questions, concerns or for clarification, will be right here or by dropping me a line in game. My primary characters are listed below, with Ts'val my main. For now though, thank you for reading and I hope to see you on Tuesday!

Probably the best thing you can do to get into regular RP is get active in the community OOCly. Whatever your servers custom channel is [Ebon Hawk has OOC for example] is the best way to do this. While they're great for finding others to RP with, it helps if you can just chat and get to know some of your fellow players. As far as Random RP, just don't be afraid to seize the initiative. If you see someone walking, emoting or chatting with another player, strike up a conversation! It's very rare you'll be flat out turned away so long as you observe the basic tenets of RPing! It can be nerve wracking diving into a new situation, but whats the worst that can happen? Anyone who would be a jerk to you isn't worth the thought or effort anyway!

Most of this has been touched upon, but I'd like to throw in my own two cents. World RP can be two things depending on which side of the RP you are on: The first is stumbling across people RPing. When you come across them it may seem like they had always been there or that they mysteriously came together. The second is exactly the same as the first, except those same people most likely have decided to meet up at a specific place and time. Whether they did so because of a calendered event, chatting in OOC or even general is really immaterial. Because there are so many Non-RPers on the RP servers, there are really only three things that you can do (and that you should look for) when you are interested in truly random RP. LFG Comment This one isn't so much random as an easy way to tell if someone is up for RP. Emotes and say. I recommend RPers change the color of Say to make it easier to spot when General is flying by fast and furious. This is tough if you're not in the same place for a while because you can only see Emote/say if you are close. No one likes spam. Walking. By far the easiest way to tell a RPer is by seeing a character strolling along. If you spot a character walking, chat them up; it's why they're doing it. What am I trying to say? Can RP happen spontaneously? Sure. Should you expect it too consistently? Not in my opinion. Join whatever your Server's equivalent of Ebon Hawk's OOC channel is. Inform people that you're going to be in a certain place and they should feel free to join you. If that continues to fail you should look into changing servers.

Full disclosure: I read the first post and only skimmed the first page of responses. Here's what I assume you've been told and so I'll skip. The; It's a RP server, if you don't like it ****. The; Moody teenager is moody. The; u iz Trull lulz. To be perfectly honest, my first attempt at a jedi turned out way more serious than I intended. She wasn't standing in the corner constantly saying how -dark- she was, but still. I can totally see how it's easy to take a left turn from serenity and end up in troubled ne'er do well land; Especially for an inexperienced RPer/young person. If you're a RPer yourself, keep moving along if it bothers you till you find some characters you can stomach. I really don't know how RPers can pass such serious judgements on our fellows. There's not a hell of a lot of us in proportion to the rest of the in game community to begin with after all. If you're not, A) You really have no right to judge at all, but in any event B) Just ignore it and be respectful of their choice of playstyle. (And yes, I know you did said you did OP, that's just more of a general statement of courtesy)

I have something here for you. Your father wanted you to have this when you were old enough...

I see it like this: If someone has a legitimate disagreement with someone they will take it to tells should things get heated. If a person does not, than it means they are either clueless or an attention...let's say...monger. When a person, and I can't stress this enough, is constantly involved in/inciting conflict(drama) they deserve to be shunned by the rest of the community. It's one thing to have an opinion, it is another to declare that another point of view is 'dumb' or that the other player 'clearly doesn't understand logic.' To deal with it, usually I'll tune out (read: switch chat tabs). However if the problem persists I usually try to make a short, neutral yet salient remark reminding people that they are not only playing a game, but are using essentially an instant chat. That really only works once everyone else on the channel is sick of hearing the back and forth though. I have one person on permanent ignore, and anyone who enables them gets put on for a short time. One person can't argue with themselves I really wish people could just disengage. I liked the City of Heroes chat channels. Created by a player(Admin) who could change settings and appoint mods capable of silencing, banning or giving warnings to players from a position of strength.

I'd love to see a couple of RP Huttball teams at some point. Rotworms FTW!

As to what server to start on, I really can't help you. Each of the RP servers have there pros and cons and various levels of activity. I've had a good experience on Ebon Hawk, but I'm sure the other servers can be equally interesting. Finding Roleplay can still be difficult. The surest way is to start it yourself, but joining a channel or guild on whichever server you pick can speed things along as well. How high you need to progress with your character really depends on the type of RP you're looking for. If you're just looking for some Cantina friends, you really just need to get to the Fleet/Dromand Kaas. You don't even need to go past level 2 for that (as a SW, BH/IA can do it pretty much from 1) if you know where to find the shuttle. After that it's really just a matter of leveling to get any gear you want. If mission RP or Storylines are more your thing you'll probably need to stay leveled with a group. Really as long as you put yourself out there you're sure to find someone willing to play along eventually.

Kaysaria, for my Sith Inquisitor Zaire Props if you can appreciate the allusion.

I don't know if it would 'ruin' the community or not, but if something as complicated as a Dungeon Finder is added before anything is done to help the Roleplaying community I'll cancel my Subscription on the spot.

Yep. Gotta keep things short and sweet. Not sure the exact character limit, but it's about two paragraphs.

Only 'ppl' I see are those playing the game. And the only ones of them with anything ground-breakingly negative to say are trolling. Also, while I do recognize there are things which can be added to/improved upon, I do think the game is awEsome.

Statistically speaking women make up about 30% of the General Gaming community. Most of the female players of MMO's I've known typically play as male characters/pass themselves off as men to avoid just such situations. Internet gremlins (read Trolls) have the maturity of a 6 year old. I'm actually pretty surprised you'd use any kind of Voice service at all. Did you stop or do you still muddle though the weirdos?
