This! There was a whole community that just lived in space! Several servers had their own weekly space pvp and RP events. I tried the 'on rails' system in SWTOR and found it very disappointing and lacking in the thrills that JTL could provide. So I voted for a 3D space system, but I'd also love to see capital ship battles too, with players grouping together manning turrets, shields etc. This too was a lot of fun in SWG, whilst they weren't capital ships, the POBs had several turrets. Even just adding turrets to player ships and increasing the group size to accept ops groups on ships would be a lot of fun.

Only those who register with the site, though, so not that helpful.

I lead a guild for 7+ years, now lead a community and I've never heard of this. It's your game, your characters and no one has the right to tell you what to do with your characters. Suggest...... perhaps. Leave, I'm sure it can't be too hard to find a better guild.

If you are really unsure, send them a whisper and say that you are new to RP and could you start a conversation with them? Hopefully, they will pick up on the cue and interact with you first. Just as in RL, it can take time to get to know new people and to find your feet in a new environment. Don't expect to be involved right off, it may take a few evenings.

I am not in character when questing, if I come across those who are, I respect their choice and quietly go on my way. So no, I don't think you should automatically be IC. It's personal preference. As a female, I tend to play female characters, perhaps because I don't dress my girls in skimpy gear, I rarely get 'hit on'. As my main character is a Naval Navigation Lt, she would probably see it as a sign of disrespect and appear rather snooty in response. Secretly, she might be rather flattered It doesn't mean that there is an open invitation for ERP, something I am not prepared to get involved with. If an RP style doesn't match mine, then I politely make my exit (incoming comm calls are the least obtrusive way to do so). If someone forces an emote rather than attempting or trying to carry out an action, they are on my ignore list. Just as in RL, I wouldn't go up to complete strangers and start a conversation. I will wait until an opportunity comes up to join in, or I might send a whisper to see if it's appropriate that I join in. I most certainly wouldn't expect it to lead to ERP and the rest of the guild have the same attitude. Politeness and respect OOCly, is the best way to get involved and ask yourself how you would approach a situation in RL. As a guild, our RP takes us out and about and, as far as I'm aware, we've not had any issues with any one else getting involved inappropriately. If RPers see us on away missions, they are welcome to interact, as long as they are respectful, don't power emote, god mode or metagame.

/waves to a fellow ex-Chimaera guild Good luck, SFR!

Have you tried the ideal Guild Quiz? Not all guilds have put themselves forward and not all servers are covered, as a result, but it's worth a try The more that players use it, perhaps the more guilds will apply. Link is in my sig.

If you are in a US time zone, then yes, you have picked a good server. You might find swtor-rp.com helpful in choosing a guild. This is an RP portal with forums for all RP servers, EU as well as US. There is also the Ideal Guild Quiz, not every guild on every server has put themselves forward for the quiz, but it might help to narrow down your search. The link is in my sig.

Thanks! I've added a link to this thread to my sig.

32, I seem to recall.

We too played right through all the changes, as a guild, and I agree that the game was enjoyable through out it's life. I still think that whatever the real reasons for closuere where, the two games could have co-existed, When the closure was announced, the heart went right out of the game, as there was little to log in for any more. Although we did manage to complete several Rp plots, some of which had been running for years. On our TS and in guild chat, someone will occasionally say 'I miss SWG' and things fall silent for a short while. I know SWTOR is a young game and I know SWG had it's problems at launch too, but there is little sense of community in SWTOR and that was something that SWG retained thoughout it's life. I miss that social aspect.

For someone who has RL commitments, I just don't have time to raid or grind for raid equipment. Focusing on raids as end game content is something most MMOs do and unless there are other time sinks that don't demand two or more hours online (more if it takes up to an hour for a group to get organised), those members of the playerbase who don't want to raid (62% is a lot) are not going to hang around. That's a lot of people to lose once they hit cap.

The Progenitor (EU RP) has plenty of RP. There are guilds who RP on Ord Mantell and Tython and I've seen others Rping around Coruscant, Republic side. There is also RP on the Empire side too. The community I'm part of RP wherever it takes us and we've been seen around on Tatooine, Tython, Taris, Nar Shadaa and Coruscant. We tend to avoid the Republic Fleet, but will occasionally visit a cantina when on leave. Sometimes, you have to hunt RP out. Personally, I tend to avoid RPing where there are large groups, simply because of the poor chat system and no chat bubbles, in this game. It can make RP conversations hard to follow. There are also many styles of RP, some are in character when questing, others aren't. Some follow canon (although it gets a little hard when this keeps being changed!) there are others who do their own thing. Just like in RL, it can take time to get to know people, generally, people don't go into a restaurant, sit at a table and talk to complete strangers, you have to get know them first. It's the same with RP.

It's happened in every single game I've RPed in. After 8 years, I just ignore the griefers and carry on regardless. In some games CSRs have removed the offenders and/or ban tham, but in most they just don't have the staff to respond immediately. The more you give griefers attention by trying to politely ask them to move on, or reason with them, the more imflammatory the situation gets. Just /addignore and continue enjoying the game in your style. Having said that, I have been in a situation where the griefer had no idea that they were actually causing an issue for other players, apologised and left. So there is a glimmer of hope! Sadly, though, in games with no closed areas, such as guild structures or housing, you can't get any respite. The ships we have only accept groups of 4, which rules out most RP, it's even more likely that RP will be less obvious and those of a similar inclination will find it harder to get involved.

You haven't mentioned which server you are playing on. That may help to find you some people to RP with You could also try swtor-rp.com
