However, in my experience, far more players and small groups will entertain the idea of starting a new story arc and many players actually long to meet a talented story driver.
Personalities may clash, especially when two story drivers come head to head. Joining such a group may feel very restrictive. Yes, some people and groups have long running stories. Put in the effort to contact a number of small groups and find one that meets your schedule and sensibilities. Most music events fall into the latter category. Occasionally, whole groups come together, typically for events with very low story development. Individual players may share contact with multiple groups. Role players do not organize like a hive mind hegemony. I am happy to read that you made the plunge on Lauralin as that will provide you with far more opportunities to find like minded role players. Or, you can play on a server with 10 total role players, but those role players share your schedule and sensibilities such that everyone in the group feels engaged as they play out great stories. You can play on a server with a very high percentage of role players yet feel isolated because no one shares your schedule or role play sensibilities. The key to role play is finding like minded people sharing the same schedule. Hopefully some of them will see this post and give more relevant information and answers than myself I think more serious RP on the server is mostly organized and you would need to get in touch with the RP community. There you can see RP community and games would be less fun without them really. I support, sometimes take part, sometimes just watch The Harnkegger Games. I have wish to go to some events but would not like to intrude so to say. I however very much appreciate RP community and would love to see more of it. I am not a RP player but I also get annoyed when people run over me on a horse and such. Yes I guess there is no perfect place for anyone really. There's no cross region transferring and Crickhollow is a US server while Laurelin is an EU server. Sadly, even if server transfers were open, you wouldn't be able to transfer to Laurelin.
Sadly, I have only one option: keep slogging away on Crickhollow until my storyline has run its course, then shelve the characters, pull up stakes and start all over again on Laurelin. I have invested too much time and treasure, especially now that I am documenting my journeys across Middle-Earth. I am loathing the idea that I must create a Laurelin character out of whole cloth, and start all over again. So yeah, it's been disappointing as someone who really would love to roleplay more. The two servers are a lot more similar than you might believe!
Fun and community-building but very little indepth roleplay. When I have been to "RP" events they're all the same as concerts on Crickhollow- musicians perform and everyone just /dances and /emotes for hours. When I tried going to Laurelin for more serious RP, I saw people questing, zooming through Michel Delving on war-steeds, running over people, ignoring each other, ignoring attempts to RP. I haven't noticed open hostility to RP on Crickhollow- what have you been experiencing? I think RP is not easy to find anywhere, but I have met a few great roleplayers on Crickhollow over the years and have done some fun plot-lines together.Īs for Laurelin, I haven't found it to be the perfect place either.
I was hoping to move to Laurelin and engage in a true immersion: that dream died a slow death. And the OOC character names are things I expect on WoW or Skyrim - especially the scatological and erotic pseudonyms.
RP on Crickhollow is not simply dead - it's frowned upon with open hostility. I am trapped on Crickhollow, due to the permanent disabling of server transfers (yes, it's permanent, change my mind.)
