Welcome to Balmung I'd suggest trying some of the following.. you will find there are many like yourself looking for connections Join one of the linkshells that is aimed at RP connections, or even one of the IC flavoured ones. A free Company is a great way to get into things, and do shop around and RP with them. Going to events is also a great way to meet others There are several active tavern houses, these are ideal to meet others and tend to run 3-9 people at any time

Hi there L'ohab! Well I would say there are many that like the style of RP you mention. I'd suggest looking for a suitable FC, but take your time and RP with them first. A Linkshell is a great way to contact many folks and some are aimed at RP help and connections as well as themed IC and OOC ones. Go along to some of the events, there are many especially around the weekends and in your time zone. In fact there are several active taverns that are a nice place of around 3-9 people at any one time. They tend to be more on that "normal" interaction and slice of life style. Always good to have some hooks to things, and I find simple things like selling a service, looking for something, some simple problem.. all serve to add that little extra dimension above "who are you and what do you do" RP. RP is out there, let us know how it goes.

DON'T YOU TRY AND RUIN MY HYPE. DID YOU SEE THOSE AT-ATs?! MORE WARS IN THE STARS I SAY! All jokes aside I choose not to see it, you can say... I rebel. Stop posting this picture I'll never unsee it if all I do is see it! It's even following me!

Your character concepts are fine, some may IC twitch but OOC go for it. My tips for surviving starting RP would be.. Find and join a good Free Company (guild) and Linkshell (see the Linkshell list above) Go to the events where you will see RP gathering outside of the open RP-pit, think of it as a pre-filter and expectation that all will be middle-ground RP. There are a lot of tavern houses that have sprung up. These tend to be 3-9 players at any given time. The RP is light, and easy but it is a great way to find folks who RP and even see what some of the FCs are up to. This should help you find RP links and avoid the open RP-pit of randomness. Not that the open RP-pit is bad, it is just what it is and you are going to get all sorts.

Hmm the discussion does not show in the subject or the latest threads, only the banner subject and the thread hierarchy. Now, as to my character. No I never plan them to die, in fact I never plan my characters to achieve anything, that is all down to the RP. However, I don't RP to play killer, so I'm not about to let them die just like that. Even if they did die I'd probably use it as part of their RP story and carry on as dead or a ghost or reincarnated into something. NPCs yes definitely they have the chance to die, but again I tend to leave their fate to the result of the players' actions.

^ Hussar!

I would filter out from all this advice with good intentions and discard people's personal experiences and bias. Only you, OP, know yourself and the situation. It seems clear that you should not put up with things as they are If you feel there is something that can be resolved try. If you feel it can't be resolved or you don't want to try just cut it off. I would suggest doing it with honesty and calmness. Blaming, victimisation and anger won't help.

Hmm not sure I would agree with the cut it off at the first sign or something. Also try to avoid blame, instead consider you both have different needs. Just be aware you are not powerless, put yourself first and know you can cut it off. If you feel uncomfortable step back and get perspective, which is what you are doing. If it is abusive then end it, definitely, but I think there are degrees here. I'm one who leaves it too late I would say, I always like to hope things can be saved or worked through. So I'm no one to talk.

Nebs can do angels in the mud. Is that like a moshpit on your own?

Time traveling... maybe There are quite a few EU players but not always easy to find. I'd suggest some of the EU timed events and LSs. My hedge witch main can fit in with anything. Aside from that I have a cursed AuRa male that could suit for a contact.

Maybe I missed it. How does a "Discussion" tag appear to those looking at thopic?

Mr Sickety impressed me with their helpfulness on the forums and also I enjoyed the character they created. Why have I not noticed you before, are you new? Either way a worthwhile addition to the community. People go RP with the poacher hunter, with the big pointy stick! And spooky that I lost the reply widow to a Ghost! So without any further rabbiting.. Ghostly has a great avatar pic, is one of the nice folks on the forums.. I have to insert the word CUTE .. just look at that Lala.. cuuuute! Now I need to sample the RP for a fuller feedback.. to the RP wagon!

This. But I also disagree with Nebbs' comment "IC is not the place to resolve things." I would deal with the IC, IC. Maybe it was something that should have been discussed between your characters before getting hitched. If your character decides they've met their soul mate after two weeks, then, like real-life, you're going to have some issues. Hell even if they got hitched after a year you'd still have issues. You have to just roll with what your character would do in those situations. Explain yourself OOC if you have a need beyond, "This is an in-character reaction". My character has turned down IC proposals because it wasn't the right time or place, and because she didn't feel like she was known enough to make a commitment. Ah I agree wuth this, IC stuff should be IC. Just when it becomes an OOC problem it is best to have the OOC talk.

There are always two sides, and resolution is only possible by understanding and accepting the compromise on both sides. I'd recommend not getting into specifics in an open forum and try and have a positive ooc chat with them.

I would agree with most that is said and have been through a few and probably even hurt people. It is not as simple as attacker victim as often these things are done with the best intentions. Have the ooc talk, make sure that you both understand what you want from the RP. Also what you don't want. I would like more of... I would like less of... I would also like to try... IC is not the place to resolve things. But be aware that we are attached to our characters and get upset on their behalf. Even with ooc agreement things change. There is no easy answer but be prepared to move on and deal with fall out. The majority of RP relationships fail so you know this will happen no matter how much you are enjoying the moment. So have the discussion if it does not resolve it move on.

And just to add to this some screens of my tribe girl. The 1st one I think captures the Thanalan/Arabian feel.

If you get the mats I will craft stuff for folks for free. I'm not epix crafting just got everything at 60 with basic HQ gear. However, I can craft the level 50 stuff. The level 60 many star craft needs massive crafting stats, so can't even attempt these.

Last month in Witchery, we learned simple spells for protection, welth and love. This month we will be trying out witch's brews.

My advice.. Go to some events, get to know a few people, volunteer if they ask for helpers etc.. That way you get to meet people who have gone to an event with the intent to RP. Now you may think they are all in predefined groups, but that is just a couple. Most at these things tend to be looking for others to RP with too. This way you can find an FC that you like the RP style of, and hopefully they have seen you RP. Worst thing that you can do is jump into an FC, find out it is not for you and have to leave. Also join some of the LS that you like the look of. These tend to be quiet, but give them a poke and they generally respond back. Also let a list character names from this topic and add then into a search macro, that way it is easier to quickly scan if any are on.

Well typically it is used for end game statics (raiding groups) I have also been in guilds that use it to OOC chat as they play. Though i would say you tend to get two groups in such guilds.. then on the voice and them not. Personally I only use it for raiding or on occasion coordinating larger RP events ooc. And sometimes when I PvPed in SWTOR we would sing Star Wars to each other (see https://vimeo.com/148990643) I like to maintain some degree of IC whenever I play so i tend to avoid voice or even ooc text chat channels like Skype. In fact I could live with just IC interaction given the chance.

"To Save a Wishing Well" - Part 1 Nebs and Cerise explored down the old wishing well.. things were not good. But nothing some copious use of blasting magic's could not fix. Strangely despite the slime, cobwebs and general ewwww stuff, Cerise seems to have had fun. Next, in the thrilling adventure "To save a Wishing Well", will our intrepid souls venture to the InBetween and face whatever void thing is at the heart of this?
