Heya all,
So. Just some thoughts on my return to CotH. The changes made by the GMs have been fabulous. They do their part to promote story arcs and give challenges. However, I find it next to impossible to find RP without spamming the LFG channel with "Where's da RP??" Which I refuse to do =p
I tend to just hop on Bella and wander, accepting random opportunities when they present themselves. I'm content to do this normally, however...
NO ONE IS EVER IC. Seriously. This is an RP server. Why is everyone OOC 90% of the time? The RP that does happen is limited and I'm certainly not one to shove my character where she wouldn't be.
So I guess my suggestion is for more IC immersion. I know it is more challenging to have to farm shards and instances for mats and level professions and travel all ICly. But it is also more realistic and will undoubtedly lead to more unplanned and interesting RP situations. To have to decide and abide by how your character might do these tasks ICly gives a whole other dimension to the RP that is happening currently. And if kinda forces us to interact more. Which is kinda the point ya?
This really occurred to me after Qaza's April Fools joke. I was thinking of how the Grue would be really cool and all but no one is ever out in the World ICly anyways so what's the point. If we were, I actually think this would be a fantastic idea. Especially if GM controlled. Random attacks (though non-fatal generally) on citizens of Azeroth would do wonders for promoting story and plot.
Yes my grammar in this post sucks :P I'm kinda thinking out loud.
