As a new player (who's currently installing the game), I was wondering how much RP there is to be had in the game and how active, if at all, the RP community is. I figure the best way to get started is to find myself a guild, but I was curious as to what the general overall perspective is concering our little niche.

Having started playing VG back in open beta and having played quite a number of games since and one before, I can say with no exaggeration that the lore and the environment of Telon is the richest that I have found for role playing and developing your character(s). There is a wealth of experiences, lore and opportunities with which you can not only create a back-story, but also many paths that you can choose so as to walk the story that you want to create with your character. As with the community, there are presently two RP guilds of which I am aware, The Preferiti (my guild) and Blackstone. You will find, as is often the case on a non-RP server, that a true RP guild will have a smaller population than non-RP and RP-friendly guilds…but it comes down to what environment that you truly want to immerse yourself. There is the /tavern channel in game that is a bit quiet, but often times once the party starts in the pub the folks on the street are far more likely to break the doors down so as to see what is happening! It is my goal to very soon starting working towards server events once again and, as have all of ours in the past been, these events will be RP events. We have been very pleased to see that even the non-RP players will attend and have a wonderful time experiencing another factor of the game. It is my opinion that there are a number of RP’ers that are simply asleep right now and many are eagerly awaiting being woken up so as to feel that flair and creative buzz once again, and it is my hope that the alarm clock will signal morning very soon! If there is anything with which I can help you or any questions that you have, please feel free to contact me here on the forums, or in game (when I am in Telon, I am always in the /tavern, /craft, /dip, /diplomacy and /help channels, so shouting out for Aasha in any of those will find me if I am there.) Additionally, feel free to give a shout to any of my people. All the best!
