Hey guys! I would say that I would have to contest the above observation. I wouldn't say that RP on Gilgamesh is clique=y and hidden, it's just disconnected and not broadcast IC'ly, as well as OOC to a point. I myself have known about open rp going on over at the Goblet, but haven't had a RP reason to go check it out as I've only heard OOC. And trust me, I'm dying to. A friend is going to give me a RP reason to know about it and then I'll join in. But it doesn't seem too much different than what I've heard about breaking into RP in Balmung, in that you need to have a RP reason to be involved in quite a few RP storylines. The main difference being that we don't have as much open Tavern RP, so it's harder to get IC knowledge of them.
All in all, it seems to me like RP isn't dead on Gilgamesh by any means, just disjointed, and fractured in some ways. I say, let us try to get involved in each other's events as much as in IC'ly sensible, and create a more complete atmosphere. And that includes more open world RP for those that enjoy it. Personally, I always RP in the open world. I almost never RP in a linkshell outside of when I am listening and responding to a LS IC anyway. That's just me, it breaks the immersion for me to RP in a LS any other way.
So in short, in my little opinion, to the people who come to Gilgamesh looking for Roleplay, it's here! Just give us a heads-up in the Gilgamesh section, and check out the Linkshell Hall for FC's to talk with, not even necessarily join. A lot of us have websites, and you can always ask questions there, or here on RPC on where/how to get involved with RP on the Wild Wide World of Gilgamesh.
