Ku Genin, right ctishman?

Fearlessly!

So....anyone else?

Yes Definately, I won't say that it's impossible to RP now. but as it stands it would be difficult so by all means let us start RPing

Roleplaying doesn't technically fit in this game "capture the flag" type game because you cannot shoot or kill your own faction mates, or even form guilds. Having initial clan tags next to your nick is the best thing you could do now. But when the reputation system kicks in with the ability to create guilds, when Initial clans names are not recommended.

I strongly understand that "Score" doesn't mean anything to me and theres no point of increasing score.

BUMP....

/me nudges the last post towards the devs..

Um, please?

The real trick to foster role-playing is to give people alot of material to work with, and a cool character type that they will want to be.

For example, if this was a Mechwarrior RP universe, people would already be roleplaying. Not all of them would be, of course, but enough would that it would be regular. And from experience, its easier to force people to adhere to roleplaying standards in a well defined house like Kurita or in Clan Wolf, than it is for them to adhere to standards in House Marik or in some lesser known Mercenary Unit.

People have to want to RP, and they have to know what is expected of them when they are in character. I mean, I could RP. I'm d@mn good at it if I do say so myself, but I wouldn't have a clue whether I was actually 'in character' for the universe.

Until we have 100's of pages of inspiring background material, don't expect alot of people RPing.

Devs: when can we expect some form of ingame roleplaying support?

Eeeh.. two accounts, eh? ILLEGAAAL, yee! :p

Universe backstory isn't a problem ;). I just need to clean it up and make it public. That probably won't happen for a bit though. The backstory was written a few years ago, and features / universe design / continuity all has to be synchronized with what we're doing now.

Two accounts, yes, my brother uses one, and I've got a bank character on it too. Moving on, when can we expect some backstory?

SF doesn't like you gaining interest on two accounts...

I dont use vendetta ice. Never have, never will. ANYWAYS.

By the way, for those of you who are SERIOUS roleplayers (like me) there is always the Aesir League, a multinational group of bounty hunters, traders, escorts, and mercenaries all named after the Norse gods and goddesses. We are still accepting applications, and there is a signup thread at SFTech Forums in the Multination Forum.

Please be aware that if you have a character with his or her own name attached, you can keep that character as an off-duty character if you join, creating a new character with your selected god(dess) as it's name.

In in general? Or... in the League?

I have 6 different characters I use normally, all with different personalities, fighting styles etc. because I love roleplaying, I'm in :)

Ok, so are we going anywhere with this?

When/where do we start forming/discussing the "self imposed rules" as eldrad said....?
