Hoping to check out RP
« on: 20 Jun 2011, 00:23 »

Hi, I'm Kemekk. I've been playing EVE since December and I've always been interested in RP, just didn't know how to go about it in this game. I've RPed in multiple other games, but those all offered face to face interaction for RP (which will obviously be possible when Incarna is fully out).

What parts of Eve and Eve RP interest you? What parts would you like to know more about?
I really like EVE's lore and the "massive" feel of the game. I like PvE, PvP, and I hope to learn more about RP in EVE so I can participate in that as well. I don't like only playing one part of the game, I want to play them all!

What got you into Eve?
I got into EVE after getting bored with Age of Conan. I played the trial for a day and got hooked. I subbed the next morning. I like the design and the professional look of the UI, models, and textures in EVE, and it's the only game I've played so far that truly felt massive. The first time I looked at the starmap I was in awe at all the systems I saw. I'm also really interested in astronomy and space technology, so EVE was like a godsend. Sometimes I'll just fly around and look at different things in space.

Thanks for the welcome!

I have a question: do EVE RPers generally find The Empyrean Age and The Burning Life novels to be good reads? I'm thinking of buying one or both.

Sup

From a literary point of view, they're not great. TEA is big on fat, obvious plot devices and Misogyny, whilst TBL feels a bit- scripted. From a PF point of view, however, they're fairly interesting. Although TEA does rip up some pre-existing stuff ingame.

Anyway, I digress. Coffee?

Welcome!

I'm about halfway through TEA. It's not Asimov, but it's got a lot of good backstory for the game. Which is kinda the point I guess.

I like the implications of Gallentians being punched in the face by walking up to a Minmatar as they so freely use another person's culture as a fad.

Looking for RP? That's what we are here for. And I greatly enjoyed TBL. On the other hand, I wrote a long and passionate blog post about how much I disliked TEA. It sucked and it didn't have to.

But anyway, welcome aboard here!

Welcome!

With regard to TBL and TEA, well I haven't red either of them. I've been relying solely on the news, chronicles, and mission + item data.

Thanks everyone!

Is there an organized database of Amarr lore? The stuff I can find seems to be scattered and disorganized and it seems some information on the foundation of the Empire and the current state of affairs seems to be missing (or at least I can't find it).
