If it's a MMO I'll be trying to find ways to RP in it, and bring the RP community closer together. I'm currently heading TSW-RP.com which is the RP community for The Secret World. The community site is only a few months old but well over 1,000 members strong. If Defiance continues to catch my interest like it has then I'd be interested in doing something similar for it.
I have very little experience in doing so, but both EoN and Defiance definitely look as thought they have ripe settings for role-play. I might give it a go, if Defiance can actually run on my computer.
I was a hardcore RP-er back on Neverwinter Nights. Casual since vanilla WoW. But Defiance seems like a pretty amazing place to roleplay. Hopefully we get a healthy community of it.
Im a BIG-time and looooooong time RPer from before MMOs and CRPGs, b 4 computers we used these wired dice and strange instruments called pencils :)
I'm quite a big roleplayer, doing it every friday night with Pathfinder, Mechwarrior, Call of Cthulhu, Starwars, Dungeons and Dragons, you name it, Ive probably played it over the last 26 years.
In MMO's though depsite my passion, roleplaying tends to get lost on a lot of the mainstream MMORPG's.
I think however Im really going to go deep into roleplay in Defiance providing it has trhe facility to do so. (Havent seen much in the way of the chat system yet, and certainly voice communications going to be a big thing also.
With its Xbox and Playstation model im hoping its integrated and encouraged for roleplay in some voice channels. Voice acting a big love of mine so hoping thats there for me to do too!
Although in the pvp environment where voice coms are going to be more use, what would be cool is if you choose to activate an ingame voice communication that you auto join channels and leave channels depending on where you are in the game.
Imagine your in one area of the game where there is ongoing Arkfall's etc where an event is taking place you comine into range of short band communications and join the chatter of the area. Much like joining a text chat channel for entering a new zone.
Now that would be amazing and if im not mistaken, NEW.
RP through voice communication would certainly not be my thing I am way to self conscious for that. Can't even listen to Defiance Central's podcast without being annoyed with my own voice. So voice acting is certainly not my thing. However from my talk with Rob Hill during GamesCom I do remember talking about the ability to hop into voice channels with just friends for example so what you have in mind certainly would seem possible. Wonder how many people would be interested in something like that, it would certainly be pretty immersive.
Roleplayer Present! I use to be Hardcore... But do to taking care of a toddler Hardcore took the back burner sadly.
im looking forward for RP this world setting can bring lots of new options into it :3
Sure, I used to RP back in the days of Halo Custom Edition, I preferred text RP though, it makes keeping on track easier and a hell of a lot less frustrating.
I'm pretty confident that Defiance will have a strong RP community, especially since one of the major goals of teh dev team with the join media release is for "more immersion" into the game/series world. Voice acting may be difficult, but I'm sure a strong an dedicated RP community will be able to find female voices for the male players using a female character, and vice versa. Maybe not adlib LIVE, but for those that create mini series to be recorded and posted on youtube, etc
