Hey guys, long time, no see.
I'm back in EVE again and I was curious how the roleplay community was doing. I've been wanting to get back into it but it feels like things have slowed down a lot compared to the old days of roleplay-corp warfare. I'm worried I might have to bite the bullet and join a normie corporation out in 0.0 if RP is dead.
Do any of the big names still play?
Further, for those of you who were Khanid loyalists, any of you great people still around?
-
First off, welcome back!
Depends on how long you've been gone and who the 'big names' for you were. There is certainly considerably less pure-roleplay warfare; the reasoning for this is deeply varied but can (in my opinion) mostly be traced back to FW absorbing the major RP conflicts into a game mechanic subsequently followed by a huge drought in lore and world news.
Khanid loyalists... I can think of two active at the moment (Morwen Lagann and Indira Harashani); the others have turned straight-up pirate or quit. There are no Khanid corps at the moment, unfortunately.
-
Calling me a loyalist is a bit of a stretch but I'll consider it a compliment. :P
There's a few more I think but I don't know if any are active on these forums or in the more public channels ingame.
-
Azador Kavian....that's a name I've not heard in a long time..... :)
WB, good hunting.
Are you caught-up lore wise with Khanid II and Empire/Jamyl stuff?
Sinjin Mokk resubbed recently, I'd look him up to start. Good guy.
-
I thought Sinjin Mokk went Angel?
-

Never go full angel. ;)
He has gone Angel but he seems to be professing some form of loyalist sentiment too.
-
Sinjin is...complicated.
I think we're all waiting for the other shoe to drop concerning the Drifters. I looks like we're all in for a big sake up.
Welcome back!! We need more Khanid RP!
-
I dunno if I'm a "big name"...I tend to think I'm not. But I'm still around. And most people know who I am.
I'm the person whining about TonyG and CCP bias, still. :P
Anyway, unfortunately, Khanid RP mostly disappeared when Silas went BR. So, you know, it's a wide open spot! :D
-
Are you asking for Khanid loyalists as in "Khanid Kingdom loyalists", or for true Khanids (the bloodline) ? Because depending on the answers that's totally different.
Since Silas turned blooder and KPV collapsed, I haven't seen many Khanid Kingdom loyalist corps or alliances yes. I don't know either a lot of Khanid Kingdom supporters, be them Khanid by blood, or not (True Amarr, Ni-Kunni, etc).
However, there are many Khanid loyalists, as in loyalists of the bloodline. Most are Amarrians though, not Kingdom loyalists.
-
Silas, you went blood raider?! Why? :cry:
This hurts almost as much as when Leon 026 and half of ITEMP joined Blood Inquisition when we lost the war.
Real shame that RP isn't doing so well. I'll probably do some 0.0 action for a while until things pick up, perhaps.

AM still lives on. o/

Do I count as old guard yet?

The main issue for some of us is that there is a huge confusion for most players between the Khanid Kingdom (ruled by an amarrian guy, at the head of an amarrian House that just happened to fall in love with their little khanids when they reclaimed Athra), which is probably populated mostly by Amarrians and Khanids, and the actual Khanid bloodline, which can be found in the Kingdom as well as in the Empire, and can in both case share very different loyalties or beliefs.
-
The recent homogenization of the Kingdom (they've sorta rejoined the Empire for all intents and purposes, but also totally haven't) is also a pain in the ass for anyone trying to do things properly.
-
Agreed Graelyn,
You have to do a bit of digging to find the points of difference (slavery, ties to Caldari, etc). I get the impression the King is sitting idly back, pulling strings every so often and biding his time. Khanid could, in the future, go indy again, fully return to the Empire or even see Khanid make a play for Jamyl's seat.
-
That's the way I read it.
Khanid sees the Empire as something that was supposed to be his.

Yeap.
I've just always has a strong love of how the Kingdom just marches to its very own drum and Khanid II gives 0 fucks about some of the Imperial traditions and protocols.
It's got strong flavors of Henry VIII, the great Khans of China/Mongolia, etc.
Khanid II just sort of embodies this really hard-core old school Amarr flavor for me; he's a Lord in the way the Lords are in Game of Thrones. Totally awful, tyranical but not evil, pragmatic and getting things done, the religion is useful as a tool and cult of personality but the church should bend to him not the other way around, etc.
-
Once I learned about the Khanid Kingdom I was hooked, I loved the Amarr but their culture bugged me, also Caldari are the shiz and mixing the two was great fun.
My biggest disappointment was I was never able to get my Mashtori idea off the ground before :life: ruined my chances haha.
Pity to see that it's almost non-existent anymore.
I mean gosh. You know it's bad when Morwen is counted in xD
-
I was a director in Blood Inquisition when itemp lost the war. Loved those days including the Blood Wars. I been floating around the last few years but not really doing much and looking for inspiration. As a bittervet roleplay just doesn't feel exciting anymore.
I recently restarted as this character in the hope I can find my eve mojo again.
Ps my old char was aodha khan
-
And so...
We now have some new Khanid things in the works.
Look up the channel "Royal Khanid Capsuleer Conference."

You Just signed up as a Councillor for the RKCC! How can you NOT be at least a little bit of a Loyalist.
And Reppy doesn't count :P
I just can't get over the coincidence of me literally at random re-subbing not two days before the first meeting.... That was a little freaky
-
As I said. A bit of a stretch.
She did it for reasons. :P

Morwen, you're on the Khanid Council now... It literally defines itself as a loyalist agenda promoting Khanid interests.
Please :P you don't fool me.
And saying your just a repsqueek stand in doesn't fly either haha
-
Yay Khanid folks! Great to see these initiatives.
Suggestion: start mailing the dev IC kingdom actor and maybe coming up with some events for your group? Small scale like the old khanid Aurora stuff. Dissidents, blooders, escorts, whatever. Something fun!
P.s. will totally resubb if they ever move forward with my lets sabik kidnap khanid's son as revenge for turning karsoth over to jamyl thing.
-
I didn't think of mailing that Khanid actor - we might have to look into that :P
