I am looking for a RP guild to have fun in after you have all you need and have beaten the game. You can reach me here through PM, which is more preferable, or in game at Donut Zeke.

Not sure if it fits in with the theme of role playing but my guildmates and I are working on a video/comic series and could use a few more people. I've posted our first vid already. If interested in helping out just look up riftbreaker raven or gray revenshade in game or just post a reply in the video thread. We will be checking back in every now and then.

The Sacred Heroes have recently decided that we are going to hold either weekly or bi-weekly Roleplaying Nights, available for participation by our guild and our alliance members. If anyone is interested in popping in to try it out, send me a PM here at Guru, and I'll see what date our next one is for you, and will make you a guest to the guild on that date. All are welcome if they're just starting, or are an experienced roleplayer, since we have a mixture of both in our guild.

Hello,

I have been RPing in GW for over 6 months now and am looking for a good Guild for me and my GW b/f to join and get into some good RPing with other characters in a good RPing Guild.

Any Ideas???

( p.s. - We do get involved into adult & GW storyline RPing too... )

I am part of a role play guild, The Serpents Sorrows. We do some in-game rp, as well as regular play, and a good deal of roleplay on the forums on our website. Feel free to check it out. http://www.serpentssorrows.com/

Umm... Hi...

I'm 16 and still pretty new to this game and trying to learn as much as possible about it (Last time I checked the /age had the account for a little over 2 months.) but certainly not roleplaying. I've rped on forums off and on for about 4-5 years now and always wanted to rp in an actuall rpg game. I seemed to have nothing but trouble every time I tried (with being flamed and all) so I just stopped trying. I have Factions and recently got Profecies. I'm very active, during school I'm usually on around 3:00 PST but since it's summer you can catch me whenever.

I'm really interested in finding a guild that I can roleplay in, I'm willing to leave my current guild where I'm an officer and be IC all the time. Granted, my main character who is a level 20 E/Me doesn't have a roleplay name and neither does my N/Mo who I just started. But my R/W (whose secondar i will change as soon as i get to the factions missions) and my A/Mo do. I love to roleplay and can be very mature should it be required. I can't stand hand outs and would rather work for what I need.

Forever Knight caught my interest. But as I was reading through the site one of the rules stated that I had to be 18 or older. So I suppose that ruled me out.

My second choice would be The Serpants Sorrows and normally I would submit an application. But I'm just not sure what they're looking for.

In short, are there any other guilds out there? I'll probably continue looking through this post and edit my reply as I see more. Pm me here or catch me in game. I'll usually be on my main, Clairvoyant Disease.

Good day to you.

In response to the above post:

It's nice to know that other teens enjoy roleplaying, I was beginning to think I was the only one. I would also like to find a guild with an In-Character-All-The-Time sort of play, but I am very loyal to my current guild, and would not like to leave them. Since it is summer now, I'm more into the roleplaying and writing thing than during the school year, and would like to find another roleplayer or two to hang around and roleplay with, since my guildies aren't into it too well, and most of them are just learning the art. If anyone would be interested in making a group that meets maybe once or twice a week, I'd be happy to help organize the meetings and such, just drop me a line, here at guru or in-game: Aerily of Myst.

Free-RP Zones

24/7 drop in role-playing locations!



After some discussion and consideration by a group of members of the GWRPA it has been decided to re-establish Free-RP Zones. These are locations where 24 hours a day and 365 days a year role-players can drop in and role-play with any other role-players in these locations. These locations are Tsumei Village, Shing Jea, Cantha International District 1 and Bergen Hotsprings, Kryta, Tyria International 1. We ask that while role-playing in these locations you keep your role-play in public (In All Channel), and your role-play storyline so that others can join in. Please avoid private role-plays in these places as they are meant to allow role-players to join in role-playing with any other role-players in these places. We would also appreciate other role-players helping us spread awareness of these places so all role-players not just the GWRPA can join in and enjoy the role-playing we hope to promote there.

GWRPA? Most likely Guild Wars Role-Player's Association? Never heard of em..and that's quite sad since I am one myself..they seem like good people if they're setting up join-in-any-time-role-play-only spots. I might have to check those out! Thanks Calaval!

My tip would be if you've enjoyed role-playing with someone at an RP zone, add them to your friends list.

If you find yourself there alone whisper them with an invite to a zone. I've done this many a time, making a once empty zone full of rpers, with many of whom I've never met.

Feel free to bring along a friend or a guild mate, even if its their first time at role-playing, we all had to start somewhere.

My IGN: is Calaval Elwvyan, I'd be happy to accompany any rper there (if i'm not on a quest or in battle!)

I lead a small RPing guild that needs stable members...

I have met Garria or Storm Crow and probably a few people from the three meet and greets that are hosted during the Week. If you want to look up one of the Silver Cirlce Alliance guilds check out Saturdays and Wednesdays. Kingdom of Numenor a much smaller and open free style Rp alliance hosts on on Fridays.

Also check out the RP free zones at Bergens and Tsumei!

If youwant to meet a few people for solid RP check out...

I just started up a guild of Roleplayers, I have two officers, and need members so we can kinda perk it up a bit. If anyone's interested, eventually we'll be making an all-guild backstory kind of thing to participate in, and have subplots and such and such. Anyway, if you're interested, contact:

Milo Askaren(leader)
Ivan Eldewin(officer)
Eraknol Sirfalas(officer)

We will soon be getting Factions, and will have separate accounts. I'll edit this post to update that as soon as we get it.

Im looking to roleplay aswell,in game name is Noru Kalora,i play him the most,youl meet my alts to probably but i think that if you add one the rest pops up in the friends list aswell(handy,that)

The thing is..well,quite frankly if i start roleplaying out in public areas there will be some bad consequences i think.

Im amazed at the lack though,every game has roleplayers and i have no idea why Guild Wars dous not..and theres not realy any way to justify it..its just amazing.

Hmmm if anyone is seriously interested there is a small event held by the Kingdom of Numenor alliance. We're a very small and I mean small group of guilds and Rpers. We meet at Bergens at 6pm Pacific Standard Time. Sadly this even has seem to begin to fade. I seriously more come and join us!

Again though I won't be there because I'm attending a concert. Though if anyone likes to RP mercenaries or any sort of vagabond send me an RP!

Conrilli Darkspear or Catsohori Nioli.

1. Lack of radial speech, everyone can hear everything in all-chat. It is the essential flaw that makes GW very unfriendly to casual roleplay. Trolling is aggravated. Fear ensues. Creativity is stifled.
2. Weaker open-end scenarios within the GW storyline. An example would be the ability to return to Lion's Arch during missions that indicate that you are an enemy to that said city.
2b. Because the storyline isn't very steadfast, most roleplayers are forced to play upon subjects that don't have any shared emotion attached to them. There is very little common ground between GW RPers other than IC complaining about missions and monsters.
3. From what I've seen in certain casual RP sessions, they drift 'way' too far into pseudo-metagame and use far too much lingo to be considered worth pursuing.

Not to say that GW RP is impossible. It simply takes a lot more work than most games. Hooray for Kyaloh!

The speech problem can be fixed by inviting the roleplayer into a group and use team chat.

About the 2d point,well..just dont go there,the ability is there,but you dont have to use it,right?Or if you are there just remain casual and claim to hide or sompthing,the Assasin would surely get away with that,considering its specialty's..


2b:Im not sure what you mean tbh..but then im not from england or the USA..

3:If you mean the Roleplayers are bad im not surprised,Guild Wars is very appealing to teens and kids and im not surprised to see roleplay that fits that age proliferate.

Alot of roleplayers have begun to think that the GWRPA is the realy face of the roleplaying community. They could be, but alot of us Rpers are found in vaious indepdent communities. Take the alliance I'm in, we have our own site, Ventrilo and chat server. We are going to have our own events and so on, we love to Rp outside but we found that Rpers got so trivial over Rp style that we lost sight of the purpose of RP, to just have fun.

Ah, Lord Catsohori! How nice to see you again, milord! How's Rayne and Conrilli, lately? And the baby? Do say hello to Lina for me, and tell the others that I am not but a mindless Mesmer, lest I beat that lesson into them.

Might be easier to establish an exact timing instead of just a general place to RP in. I've been to Shing Jea and Bergens to participate in the free RP zones, but it's always empty. I know two other people who like RPing. We try to meet on Thursdays to do this in-game. It'll be cool if there were more people than just us. What about whoever interested meeting at Bergen Hot Springs int d1 at 3:30pm GMT on Thursday 9th Nov 2006?

Time-line: Post-sear.

Unofficial zones. If you search around you can find a reference to them on the boards. They very often switch or die out. I use to find a nice group at Serenity Temple International District 1 about a year ago around 11PM GMT. They were there almost 5 out of every 10 times I checked for about 6 months and then I never ran into them again. Seems you have to be in an RP guild to get to do it.

Agreed. I think the International districts have been chosen for privacy and to alleviate the griefing that occurs in the larger districts.

Catch 22 situation. You get abused in the populated zones (unless you team which means maxing out at 8). Or you isolate and as you said destroy your chance to find others.

Actually I've had the name Catsohori and the nickname Cats since 2002. Though its not that big of a deal, if anyone does want to Rp. Again just send a message to Catsohori Nicoli In Game. Though I may get a bit side tracked, ask if I want to RP. And I'll tell ya if I can!

Okay...that is not good at all.

I would look in those districs where it not for the fact that i would not meet any person whatsoever apart from roleplayers, but realy the odds of finding roleplayers..well i think that changhe is quite low so i wont realy search there.

Isnt that kind of killing the RP community?

Catsohori, I guess the nickname must be common. I admit haven't used it much with guild wars - tis my nick from days of ol'. Guru was one of the first places I registered at before I decided to pick up the nick "Talia".

Right again I think. Then again maybe I'm somehow just not finding it out there.

I personally tried frequenting the GWRPA boards but they appeared to be having problems. Two weeks after I signed up on their forum one of the more frequent posters (and the person running the forums I believe) posted this long tirade about planning events and no one ever showing up. She went on about how she was never going to do it again and so forth. So I decided it wasn't the place for me and gave up trying RP (I'm new at it).

The Shing Jea/Bergen Hot Springs meeting places was proposed on that board but in all the times I've tried there is never anyone there. Roleplaying a hermit is fine on an island but only if you have a volleyball.

Well Thud in the end once again its the community that is guilty here.

The general Guild Wars player..well you can imagine that most of them arnt exactly acting mature and the changhe of those players accepting roleplayers is low, roleplayers will not be accepted.

On the other side its up to the roleplayers to conquer there fear and go into the crowded districts anyway,if everyone is afraid for a flame war when they try to roleplay in guild wars then its only a matter of time until roleplaying is completely dead.

If you roleplay out of view of the general crowd then noone will be aware of it, roleplayers will not realize there is a roleplaying community and if they dont have a good reason to go searching for this community they will not and simply assume it is not there, they will never find there way to other roleplayers and by the time some do it will be gone.

I mean, the people on these boards and in roleplaying guilds might be getting along fine in there roleplaying,but sooner or later they will leave the game one by one, and without new roleplayers to take there place,you can think up the result.

Im probably stating the obvious here, but im stating it because i feel sompthing has got to changhe.

Oh and yes if the roleplayers would come out of hiding so to speak all hell would break loose, but in the end the rest of the players will have no choiche but to accept the roleplayers.

Heh..big problem there, you stay, roleplay will slowly vanish , you go out, flame wars will break out, what a lovely situation.
