Is it possible to start a new thread which lists the current RP SG's please ?

Point taken about groups that are meant to be small and the histories of the SG's.

At least, could the lists of current RP SG's be updated ?

Is there any way to tell who is a roleplayer other than those people in your own SG ?

Hi Everyone,

Question: How many COH RP PLAYERS (not characters) are there currently on Union ?

I'd guess around 190 (from the list since 2006 but I don't know how many are still here).

The thing is that I don't know who is a roleplayer and who isn't. I don't want to have to go to the RP list every time I meet someone.

I'm currently looking for a hero SG and wondered how many RP SG's there were. One of the things that concerns me is the number of roleplayers online when I log in. If there are only about 190 RP players and 23 RP SG's (listed but how many are still here ?) then it is tricky to find a good SG where there are people on. I don't know the exact number of RP SG's because the list doesn't look quite up to date.

Here's my thoughts: All Roleplayers have their characters join 1 or 2 RP SG's on Union. That way, there is good probablility of having a higher number of other players on at most times.

When people log on, they could immediately see all other roleplayers who are on and then create a team to do whatever they want (exploration, missions, sewers etc). I know that people like their SG themes e.g. the Olympians. Therefore, I'd suggest that they could create their own chat channel and they would be able to also form a team to do their own thing too. But they could also do stuff with any other roleplayer who is online. This would hold true for the SG that's into magic stuff.

Is it possible to give part of your base a theme e.g. Greek area or a mystical kind of thing ? If so, this would allow teams to hang out in specific areas as well as be able to interact with all the other roleplayers.

A good webpage would be needed to allow the different teams like the Olympians to schedule events and stuff.

My suggestion above is so that the roleplayers can form a really tight knit community.

Let me know what you all think and please keep it civil

Regards,

Hmmmmm. I was thinking that myself. I think it's the mission part that I wanted to focus on rather then straight PVP.

I was trying to suggest a way in which Villains would group together and a common enemy is alaways a winner.

Perhaps it's not possible for heroes and villains to interact in an RP environment.

There must be some other possibilities for villains to join together. I think if you get away from World Domination then joining together for survival against other villain groups is one possibility.

Other thoughts ?

Storywise:

Well, I think that it would work better if it were just one zone in Paragon city. Simply put, villains turn up everywhere so a group of villains would travel from the Rogue Isles and set up shop. They would then get missions to perform various acts of criminality and it would be up to the heroes to stop them. You could even have lair / base raiding.

This is a similar problem in CoH.

I think the only way to get total interaction between heroes and viallins is to make a couple of zones which will allow both heroes and villains to interact. You could use one zone from Paragon City and one from Rogue Isles. This would have the knock on effect that players would only go into these areas as SG's rather than solo. This would solve your problem as to reasons why villain SG's are minimal.

I'd ask the Devs to do this on Union and allow people to transfer from and to Union and Defiant. Union would then be more RP oriented.

I know that I'll get lots of responses saying how this will not work but, if you do tell me it won't work because of X, Y or Z then I want you to also give a solution for X, Y and Z.

Dear Mods,

Could you please clean up this thread and remove all posts that are not listings of supergroups.

Could you also check with the contacts to see if they still exist as the web pages that are listed for some SG's don't exist or don't contain anything.

It doesn't seem that there are too many RP SG's. Are there more that just aren't listed ?

Thanks,

Shadowblayde
