I've always liked Tailfeather, and I sort of view it as a place that would become something of an adventurer hub. It's the lone settlement of spoken in Dravania and largely self-sufficient, so it seems like it'd be a great jumping-off point for expeditions, hunters, etc. looking to venture into Dravania to hunt monsters or try to harvest some of the rarer materials that are only available there.

Also it's pretty big and open and has one or two decent interior spaces, and a river nearby for idle fishing.

I agree! I feel like that whole little area is highly underused. Of all of the HW locations, that's one of the more reasonable places for me to consider too. I've an aversion to placing any of my characters at any of the flying islands thus far...but Tailfeather might work for a few of them. Silence needs places to keep perfecting his skill...and there are lots of big things for him to fight ( Sagoli is so last expansion for combat brooding Rp. )
On a side note too...i really do think that if you make the effort, other rpers will join in. You can't just one shot attempt of course, but Rpers are about as plentiful as the mobs out there. It's just...they are like the passive mobs....so you have to punch them in the face first. They won't just run up posting on their own. Moogle

I've always been a fan of the Wolves' Den/Braveheart, but I can understand why people are apprehensive when most players are likely to hurl some abuse when they see RP.

I'd love it if we could access the Vath Adventurer Guild and use it as a hub too, though the number of people milling about for beast tribe dailies would make it difficult to RP there.

I really have zero issue blacklisting anyone who trolls or interrupts what I'm doing. People only have the power you let them have. Especially in an online game. So....zero reaction from me. That area is neat looking though....I half wonder what of my roster would fit to go there. I imagine it would be cool to have an FC or mercenary group hang out there.
Besides....really if your on Bal and have an issue with Rpers...that's kinda yer fault. lol

I think that's the same as the old Mor Dhona situation...like the place was just too congested with bodies. I can ignore a lot..but visually I think it would be too much for even ME. But yeah,...their guild set up..and growing links to other groups would make form prime Rp hooks.

Most def. I'm just keenly aware that some people don't like to put themselves in that position in the first place.

The bold shall claim victory! I say make it happen! I can throw Screaming Silence there sometime. He would certainly be skulking about looking to fight things. Bomb

I want to see more people around La Noscea and The Shroud. Such beautiful scenery and yet almost all of the rp happens in Ul'dah. Nothing against Â the desert, it's pretty!

I usually feel like the Shroud is hard, pending on how serious you take those pesky elementals. I try to be kind of lenient with the concept, but I know some folks are pretty "DOOM" about doing things that will piss them off.
Limsa itself seems to get the crap end of Rp....The Wench is so nice and Rp there is still sparse.
I've had some good scenes out by the cliffs edges in la Noscea tho..I can totally attest to that place...it's also the home of my secret favorite RP location >.>;

Darn those pesky Elementals! One of my favorite places in The Shroud is actually in the Central Shroud looking back at the Carline Canopy and watching the water wheel. So pretty.

Limsa is gorgeous, the Wench is my favorite npc inn in the game. La Noscea has such lovely terrain, with the natural rock formations and...all the beasties who'd love to eat your face.

Nebbs · **05-08-2016, 03:25 AM**

Any part that is not already alive with RP. And I do achieve this.

We don't need RP locations though. I am IC 100% and this means I can (and do) try to RP with people wherever I meet them. The response is 40% AFK, 40% "I'm OOC",and 20% actually respond (feels like 1%)Â which often turns into some lovely RP. However, just a simple exchange will make my day Smile

I can accept that some want Â a part-time RP approach and therefore having go-to RP locations helps service that. However, this is not me and I probably avoid such places.

Locations..Â
1 - where people gather due to game

Any of the Aetherite's, just RP your arrival and you may hook a response
Any vendor .. people go to vendors
Any crafting guild.. just interact with the NPC or anyone else there

2 - bumping into someone

While flying along
While gathering.. ever chatted to folks as they fish?
Outside houses in the residential zones
Helping out someone in trouble (fate, or any combat)
Meeting the stranger on the road

4 - Dungeons!

Even if you start in a well populated RP location consider that we can run dungeons un-synced and they make for an excellent RP settingÂ

That's all nice and dandy, but you're the the exception. Most people aren't IC all the time, or only at certain locations.

If you wanna add something here, Nebbs, beyond "I RP everywhere" I think the OP would appreciate that.

I'm sure even you know of places you wish you could find easier RP ^^

I believe she did answer the question, just in a more broad way Smile

Personally, I love most areas in HW. Zenith has always been a favorite of mine and mostly due to the music there. Many places in HW, really! Especially combative or adventuring character types have plenty of reasons to be exploring the region!

Same goes with the Sea of Clouds. My OC and her husband had a little date on one of the islands while another character fought a herd of gaelicats. A lot of possibility for one map!

In general terms there is a spread from those who RP all the time and everywhere to those who RP a fraction of the time and in specific locations. I don't think anyone is an exception here, it is just the wonderful diversity of how people like to play. There is no one-size-fits all answer.

I did add more than "I RP everywhere" and even gave a list of "places", well aspects of the game that enable you to RP, with some reason, in a lot of places that are likely to have others at.

Yes I could pick specific places, but let me say that around every corner I find a place that inspires me to want to RP. My list would be massive, should I ever note it down.

Maybe I can spin this another way, given your last comment that made me think. Places that there should be RP but it seems lacking, and I will just pick one and then go on about Southern Thanalan as "more Ala Mhigo" could be expanded on I think.

Foundation - many places, yet very little RP seen

The Forgotten Knight - I have had some there but it is very few and far between
Congregation of Our Knights Most Heavenly - great place if you go up the stairs, never seen anyone RP there
Athenaeum Astrologicum - wonderful, magical. I have used it but never seen anyone else.
The Holy Stables - a Nice pleasant place for a meet up (again nil use)
Fire Circles - there are a few and they make great meeting places, I use these a reasonable amount. They have cauldrens
Skysteel Manufactory has a nice shady upstairs, not used
The whole cathedral - nice place to whisper plans and such, I sometimes just go there for the atmosphere but never saw any RP

Southern Thanalan a few Extras that I have used

The Sepulchre - great to use as a bandit stronghold to attack and rescue folks from. Also get a Fate that can add to the excitement
Outside the Sunken temple - Ruins.. a staple for any adventurer, with a nice excursion into the dungeon if youw ant
The undead east of Burnt Lizard Creek - wonderful to recover some lost artefact/clue from
The Red Labyrinth - used for dreams, spiritual journeys, and such
The little camp waaay South East on the map - a nice out of the way place to RP, though you will get some miners

And for the avoidance of doubt.. my direct answers to the OP's questions

Q. What parts of the world would YOU like to Rp in...?
A. All of it, especialy outside of the Cities

Q. Why would your character be there, and what sort of Rp would you think might be neat to develop in certain locations?
A. I find IC reasons to be wherever I am, they can be very simple reasons too. It can also take some imagination and fudging. The point being to be open for RP and not restrict it just to a City.

Q. More so, feel free to use this thread to spike conversation and set up some meet ups outside of Ul'dah for Twelves sake!
A. Spike - I would recommend being up for RP should you run into it, and if you look for things you generally spot them. I would also suggest that even if RP starts in Ul'dah, try and lead it to other places. Set-up - Come poke me if you see me, it may only be a brief exchange but it will be a start.

Q. I for one have been more interested in areas near the different dungeons, some Rp in the BeastTribe encampments...or some of the frosty locales in Coerthas.
A. I agree and many others do. Yet if we wait for someone to set a place, time and reason for RP, we may be waiting a long time.Â

Hope that expands and helps.
