Please forgive me if I'm posting in the wrong place or if someone's made this suggestion before (I'm super-mega-ultra-new @_@) I think it would be really cool if a game update featured a new chat channel for roleplaying, as a possible alternative to RP districts if the programmers decide not to implement those - which I hope they do!

Meaning, the "Roleplaying" channel would appear in the chat window alongside "Local", "Trade", "Emote", etc.

Welcome to the boards.

Yes it is a nice idea but it'd take about 10 minutes before the traders in a town start spamming it up with WTB/WTS. It's gotten so bad that at places it's nearly impossible to have any converstations with all the trade spam in the chat channel. And Anet isn't doing a thing about it... :|

Welcome new poster. I still find it funny that there are so many who want to start a "role playing" theme in a game called Guild Wars. However, perhaps if Anet sees a large enough market for this they'll make a game suitable for this.

They can role play to their hearts content. Like I said, someone should make a game that better supports the role playing theme(s)...they'd make big bucks.

Instead of WTB/WTS I'd be funny to see something like, "Hear Yee! To all honorable souls of the Ranger profession. I hold before thee a Bow made of the highest(+1 to markmanship) quality wood and strung with the finest string(10% armor pen). Thee parting rate is that of only 500 gold pieces, or an instrument of equal craftmanship."

Too much to type Crow, but that's a start for a RP seller.

I support it 100%, but would like bigger problems fixed before this is put in

What is the RP channels where permission based? Where as it's like recruiting for a guild, only you're giving them permission to enter the rp channel?

Who would be giving the permission?
What if Duke Moronic doesn't like me, yet i'm still a great roleplayer? Am i kept out of the RP Experience just because i'm not best friends with Duke Moronic? (Just a fake name for some cheap laughs).

It could be treated like "Shards" let players buys them like guild halls. Then they can invite people in. Eventually a few will gain reputation and become popular,, the officers could be the mods.
