I used to do a bit of it, but I've yet to find any groups that can make it engaging. And that's understandable. It's hard to type and move at the same time, so any combat ends up being wholly underwhelming for me. 

I do wish I could get more adventure, though. It's kinda tough, because me and Mishka haven't really fallen into any rp groups yet. Even our FC we're only loosely associated with, and not actively involved in any of their story arcs. We go out and do a lot of exploring, but most people stay in their primary RP hubs, and those who do venture out tend to be hard to engage with because they're already involved with something important. 

I realize we just need to get more confident in approaching groups, but it's hard not to feel like you're intruding. But hey, if y'all ever see two little Miqo'te hopping along the landscape, feel free to drag us into your adventure. 9 out of 10 times we've got nothing better to do.

IC: We got orders that an informant in a Garlean encampment had left for us a data crystal with important intel on it. To insure his cover he could not leave the encampment so he hid it in an out of the way place in the encampment. Are mission was to slip in and get the crystal and get out.

OOC: First we chose a suitable Garlean base that fit the level needs of all involved. We then approached it. First objective is our two ninjas were to scout the base and fine/pick 3 points where it could be. These points each had to have a few soldiers. The team moves to each spot and clears the npcs. After the third spot "Our cover is blown" and per our second objective, we had to engage two Vangaurd. Now that we are known, we spot the crystal, our final objective is to clear all enemies in the base, racing the respawn clock as a "win" requires a clear field.

It's really nice that we can have these little events as the gang is really open to leaving and seeing the outer world. This is our only scheduled event but we go out on the fly too a bit as time allows, and we all have our own things going. As for the weekly thing I'll note it helps what we do. At the end of the mission we do like a story stick and pass on the lead. The one above was mine, I ran it. When it was over we gathered for a debriefing. In "viewing the data", we found a member's name, Vanya. This in effect passes the stick to her and she will plan the next mission and set the objectives for "winning". At the end of that one she will say or do something to include another member, who will then lead the next one. Its so every one gets a say and a time to shine.

I really need to find a way to work out time to actually try and attend these events. *sigh* I probably a good thing though since Kestlona is still a couple of level from hitting 30 yet.  Still sounded like it was a fun event.

By the way, Erik, when are you going to Dragonhead for the artifact hunt.  Kest my join you guys to meet "Alex" for added training and also get his notes for the Dravian language that she's wanting to get started on.
