I have decided to resub. Before I left a few months ago, EVE RP was largely relegated to private channels and conversations amongst people that had known each other and had perpetual off and on storylines going for years. I understand why this happened - I am simply wondering if this trend has continued. There has been quite a lot of writing on my part regarding my characters while I was away and I am just curious as to any changes or trends while I have been gone or if everything is the status quo. It took a total of two minutes to read all the World News that was released while I was gone, so I know there has been virtually nothing happening on CCP's end.

I think the strong urge I had to merge your post into the "who's left?" thread (and the initial thought that it would probably be appropriate to do so) speaks for itself. :|
-
Indeed. Perhaps I will continue with my own writing instead of going back to the same storylines that have been dragging on for years.
-
Join U'K. I hear they're doinitrite right now.
-
We're still here wormholing it up as usual. Doing our colonisation RP. Its pretty internal, but I wouldn't mind having it spill out into political intrigue, we have approaching 3 million settlers, there's a lot of stories to tell.
-
This died a lot faster than I expected.
-
There are only a handful of RP'ers who encounter and interact with each other in space. Ushra'khan vs Imperial elements is one. Nauplius vs Everyone is the other that is immediately obvious.
Almost everything else is eventy things that occur in "places", such as viewing the alliance tournament, having a party to mark some occasion, that sort of thing.
It's possible to go for months without ever seeing a name you recognise from say "the summit", in your local channel.

Which then ends up getting the peanut gallery going, "Capsuleer morals this, current-hated-person that, such silly" and degrading anyone participating in these actual in-space encounters.
Of course, those same players are the ones who will then go about belittling people for not backing up their RP with in-game actions.
It's rather frustrating.

I second Samira.
I get the sense of a lot of this on the boards or in game on people who do try to rp.

In that regard, I know this is out of place, but I think bittervetting without content should be moderatable. There are people trying to do things, but the current "Sadler and Waldorf" eve rp culture is sit back in the peanut gallery and talk about how derpy or pointless it all is.

Maybe it is. Go do something about it - in game.

Plus I've found that most rpers do want to try to "do it right" and having a private chat ooc can go a long way to helping the find their way.

This..... In every way, shape, and form. So much this.
I've tried three times now to write something to supplement what was said here, and deleted them three times. Mainly because I found myself in repetition of what Lunarisse has already said.
That should be a big enough hint as to how spot on this analysis is.
....At least to me.

+1 to Sami, Luna and Viz.
Yet another set of reasons the vast majority of what I do ingame is done privately and without public fanfare. If people want to fuck around and talk shit they can put in some effort of their own to find out what it is I'm doing in the first place through RP, rather than me handing it to them on a silver platter.
-
I tend to prefer private RP because most public RP I see tends to consist of copious amounts of whining and complaining here on backstage or in OOC channels.

I put up a POS making drugs in low sec and told you all where it is and in fact after weeks of threats it remained untouched.
:yar:
Not that there's anything wrong with just forum/chat RP if it's done at a 'above 14 year old schoolyard' level. In fact, it can be great and even more appropriate if we're supposed to be the relatively 'sane' capsuleers - since in real life I dare say people's immediate attitudes isn't to go around blowing other people up...
But I would note that there is always the snide comments, and we can take solace in the fact that such sniping will never die and therefore EVE will live forever.

Oh? Somehow I missed that little wrinkle. And here I thought Laurentis was squeaky clean Gallente idealist :eek:

Set up your lab in Metropolis if it's drug-warz you're after, Laurentis! :)
You'll have an angry Thukker lady plinking at your POS shields in short order!
Strangely enough, I get to rp the drug-dealer more often with non-rp'ers... its generally well received, there must be something about doing shady deals with a hot pirate that has an appeal... ;)
-
I too roleplay a lot with non-RPers. There's a sort of psuedo-roleplay that many players seem to really enjoy having have happen.

I just have to be that creepy person that says your avatar is phenomenal. Do you know who the photographer was?

Afraid not Jace; found the image on a random Pintrest, without credits.
Glad you like it though! ;)
I think her dreds are much better than those we get in the character creator. I imagine Karynn to have all sorts of trinkets, bands and tokens braided and clasped into hers, reflecting her journeys, victories and superstitious nature!
-
Thukker Channel is always empty. :(

Figured it out, they are photos by Kato the semi-famous founder of SteampunkCouture.com. The original series of photos are here: http://ellenelizabethcox.ideastap.com/Project/740c7224-239a-42c4-aa05-9f5c00eac6a9/ellethia-by-steampunkcouture

Oh wow, excellent find Jace!
Love the others from the set too, great pics and gorgeous model.
Nissui: there's a Thukker Channel?! And it's empty?
Well, that will not do. I'll look it up next time I log in.
Tyvm both of you :)

I made my 2 edgy IGS posts of the year and I'm pretty much done.
Thre's a lot of show, and no go. But that's always been the case.
There was been no one I have decided who is personally worth me shooting in space. And if there was I can put out an offer to over 35,000ppl to do it for me for some ISK so why get blood under my fingernails? vOv
