Good morning guys!
 
I skipped my breakfast this morning in favour of doing some major soul searching..
 
I know a lot of us here in coffee thread are hesitant and weary about the upcoming changes. I know there's a lot of doom and gloom going on. I know I'm a little frightened for what it means for my community in Lightspire. But to help this game that we love to NOT go free to play, I suggest we embrace this change. We help steer the game the way we want.
 
So I'm looking at it this way. We're going to become a huge community. This is an opportunity for us to form stronger bonds with one another. This will be our chance to show the world how great WildStar really is!
 
I'm hosting a guild meeting this afternoon to discuss exactly this with my members, and I figured I'd share the above with you guys. Because that's what we are, Mega-Communities. :)
 
We can do this guys, we're all strong willed individuals and we're all friendly and welcoming.
 
Here, have some screenshots of what's to come more often when we join this mega server.
World Boss fun! :D (just to keep it purely on game topic)
 
 
Yey mass spawn bug!
 
Also we're now 15 people past dungeon attunement. Working on 16 and 17 today. :)Aiming to get in GA before the mega servers are implemented. ^^
 
I have my knee surgery on Friday at 7 am, little nervous but looking forward to getting it over with.
 
I hope you guys have a lovely day. And I hope we all stick together through this.
<3 Niliana

			Ugh can't wait, I'm a purely pvp player but when I do want to run a adventure or dungeon I can't because of que times... With this new mega server WildStar will get the attetion it deserves all HAIL CARBINE!	
----
			
I am looking forward to the changes for all the reasons stated in the "Mega Server" Thread by Cougar.
 
Still wish there was a way to get rid of region lock so we could play with our friends "across the pond".
 
I don't see anything detrimental if all that was stated is successfully implemented.
 
I like the fact that if you have more than 12 toons you will get to keep all your toons on a given server type (altoholics unite and hazzah! ). ;)
 
Still wondering if anyone wants more of my recipe goodness suggestions.  Currently on hiatus due to the past few weeks recent events. :\
 
Like I said yesterday ... got rid of all my exile toons on elvindra and finally made and engineer ( tbh, not fond of this class due to the pet control ( or lack there of ) ) but, I have one of each there now.  All Dominion.  I guess when the new mega server thing happens I might make 6 exiles but, it won't be immediate.
 
All that said, got my SK Stalker to 20 tonight and my SK "new" Engi to 8.
 
(( TBH, I still feel one would have to be brain dead not to beable to get from 1-3 (first starting zone ( the ship) ) in more than 23 mins and the "first starting zone" ( Pick your landing point after the ship ) from 3-8 in more than 1 hour and 50mins.  So it should take anyone from 2.5-3 hours to make it to level 8 ( and that is giving "I am new an never did this before slack time"). ;)
 
So PM me on the recipes if you want more ... currently "gun shy" given the events of the past. 	
----
			
I wouldn't go so far as to Hail Carbine yet. But I am willing to accept change and see where this road takes us. :)
 
As for the recipes, as long as you mix in game stuff like you just did Kytar I think it'd be fine to post them.
Like for example
 
So I was leveling my alt and came across this Chua recipe book, and it got me thinking 'what do Chua actually like to eat?' and so I came up with this Earth based recipe that you can switch out for Nexus based ingredients without a hassle of flavour changing
 
See, gotta be sneaky like that :D
Also, yes share some!	
----
			
I agree on your first sentence Nilli.
 
As far as the rest if you go back and examine the kerfuffle that resulted in multiple threads and the comments made their in, there are those that do not appreciate my recipes even when mixed with appropriate WS comments.
 
TBH, feel like a click is forming on these forums. :\

			 I'm still not sure if I should play my evindra character which is lower level(somewhat) or go back to my stormtalon slinger seeing as they are just going to merge anyway.	
----
			
Arathian,
 
They are going to make ONE server of each type PER region.  If that helps you decide.  Basically, play what ya want, everything will be ok.  Don't panic but, have your towel handy. ;)

Arathian,
 
You WILL get to play with those of us that have "toons" on the other server types.
 
When the server merges happen we just need to coordinate and make sure on the other server types that are not RP we get in the same guilds or form new guilds.  Heck I am not in any guilds accept on Elvindra would be totes into forming a guild with ya for my PvE toons after the server merges. ;)

My guild moved on to ArchAge yesterday, so Rocio is back to being a relative loner. His mates though keep him busy RPwise and soon a little one will keep him busier.  I'll be writing up the next chapter now that the plot has been fleshed out sufficiently to start. :)

My PvE Aurin "Foxleaf" has Fox Ears darn it! ;)
 
 
Nilli the game client is advertising "free transers" on NA servers ... not sure if the same for EU ...

{| class="blockquote"
Aw that female Aurin is very cute and pretty. And think of them as fox ears ^^
 
I'm sorry you're all on your own. Arrie sent a ticket to wildstar and asked to transfer here to the EU, she'll have to start all over again..if you don't mind doing that I'd love to have you. <3

			Good morning, coffee people! How's the science?The incoming megaserver has been discussed at length in guild chat yesterday. Rationally, angrily, nonchalantly, I think it was discussed in every possible way. From my point of view, the CX will be better and I might be able to get 20+ man quests done, which is nice. Queues will remain the same though, no? I mean, they already are cross-realm. I am not mentally-prepared to deal with the incredibly amount of stupid that will assemble so I might just quit once that happens if things get worst than how it was on my server on the big poobah of MMOs.Today is back to work! From 2pm to 9pm I am going back to crazy town. Should be interesting. Too bad a lot of the stories will be inappropriate or Not Safe For Guild Chat.WildStar news? Hmm. Finished gathering all the lore books, exploring all zones, completing the all quests and killing all the rares yesterday. I still have to get an Explorer to do Explorer-specific quests and a scientist to gather all the exo-lab lore. Beyond that, I have no idea what happens next. I blame the megaserver announcement for my sudden lack of motivation which leads to a new closing line for my morning coffee posts...What to do? What to do? Also, what to do?

			Darn that region lock! :( ... er ... in the nexus. ;)

Am i allowed in here with my Green Tea?
 
I'm, personally, hyped about the Megaserver. I've long been questing alone and a giant community is why people play MMO's :D

The only thing i can think of is when leveling if you are in a busy zone gathering quests are going to be a pain...
 
But it'll take more than that to dampen my moods! I just reached 30 last night and finally moved out of Whitevale. It's all upwards from here!

Lightspire represent! Looking forward to getting to play with more people out in the world beyond the scope of a small group that's been gathered from various guilds so Megaservers™ coming soon™ is great news for me and my ilk. However, server ethos and community -is- a thing despite how wishy washy and namby pamby it sounds. And so a server circle has been made in preparation for the Megaservers launch and I'd advise any other community to do similiar!
 
The name of the circle, like the game, is pretty hardcore.
 
Get in touch if you'd like to join 'Lightspire Love', people ;)	
----
			
Ro ...
 
I know what you are saying about potential over crowding BUT, think of it this way, at least in WS mobs are not "player locked" meaning anyone can join in and get credit for the kill even on PvP servers. ;)
 
The only "kerfuffle" may be for resource nodes for crafting.  Perhaps the WS dev's will figure something out to make sure this isn't a problem.
 
One of the things I really appreciate about WS is that mobs ( monsters ... mobiles ) are not player locked. ;)

Thank you Azial ^_^
I think this mega server thing is what our community needs to push us all closer together. (yes even olivar, but that ball is in his court now) And I think at the end when we're all on the mega server I think we'll be a great community within another great one...or I hope :D

Doing this circular opinion->logic->argument thing today. Other than that, my local coffee place is terrible.
 
Also, loving the entries I'm getting to my wildstar swag competition. Some of the screenshots are glorious :)

Good Morning Everyone!
 
I am really liking the idea of the megaservers. I love having lots of people around. Makes it more of a 'real' environment :) It will be interesting to see guilds like mine, that have Exiles and Doms on different servers, finally being on one together.
 
And I don't have to make another character to come visit you all on Evindra .. see silver lining :)

No Wildstar news to report. Nothing good happening in-game. Lots of "Oh it's going to be okay" going around and it's just making me upset - and I can't put a finger on why.
 
Tired, cranky and probably should not be here right now.
 
In fact, I'm going back to work. At least I can be sure of my feelings toward work.

----
			
I'm sorry Tex. Maybe you feel like the, "It's gonna be alright." Minimizes serious concerns that you have.
 
It's okay to not like things. The megaserver move will have huge consequences. Negative as well as positive. I'm waiting to see if I can survive.
 
I know that I do way better when more people are online. So I'm optimistic.	
----
			
Optimism is fine, but I would like something a little more concrete than just hoping for the best at this point. 
 
I will keep on the devs about the idea of RP Shards, and flagging so that players can just go to them by default. Unfortunately at this point it is still at the "Throwing darts and seeing what sticks" phase. 	
----
			
There was a fog over east Columbus on my way to work.  It lifted as I got here.
 
Anyway, been doing some constructive thinking on how to get the megaserver to work to our advantage.  I wish I knew more about how sharding works, but I've got some ideas.  One is that we could phase into RP (which will at least cut down trolls by making them come to us intentionally, not the optimal solution but a decent enough one).  Another is that we could sync to each other and therefore "reserve a shard" in case we want to have a beach party in Malgrave.  There are a lot of options I'm trying to turn over in my head, I just wish I knew how sharding worked in this game and whether there are set numbers of shards, whether it matters to the server how many shards there are, and how we're phased into them.
 
Also, I'm wondering if there's a way that maybe phasing to RP could maybe connect the Lightspire and Evindra communities.  If there was a way for the EU RPers and NA RPers to communicate and maybe even cohabit zones (since we're not always so worried about our latency), we may come out ahead here.
 
Pipe dream, that, but this might work if we're given the right tools for community operations.

{| class="blockquote"
Same zone copied over multiple server instances.
Usually based on region or language.
You can freely move between shards if the population count allows it.
 
GW2, GW and many other games did it.
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
Sharding is the instancing that happens in zones to keep them from being too overcrowded. I imagine it'll be a major player in the megaservers.
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
Rocio's head tilts to one side. "So it's open world instances? I thought the goal was to play with a larger population. Doesn't sharding defeat the purpose?"

Whenever anyone says Shards I automatically think UO, now THAT was an MMO.
 
Wildstar News: Hopped on Muncheez for a bit, killed a few things and switched my LAS up just because I'm a bit confused on what I should on it ATM. I noticed they are offering free transfers, was really confused simply because if we're mega-server'ing, wouldn't that just be one more thing to mess up? Either way, I'm trying to keep the posi going, getting closer to Muncheez's house and finally feeling like an actual character. I dunno why but I always feel empty until I get that free house.
 
I would say something clever about keeping on and all that, but I'll just say keep the PMA! (Positive Mental Attitude for non-fans of Bad Brains)

In order to keep player's computers from becoming slideshows from having to render 1000 players, they break each area into multiple instances. I want one of those instances to have the RP flag, and for players to be able to opt in to having the RP shard be the default that they get moved into. 
 
So far I have PMed Cougar, and Anlath. 	
----
			
Good morning.
 
I am not upset by the Megaserver. But, it is a sign this game is in danger. I told my husband about it and he said "so, Wildstar already died." At least he didn't say "I told you so." (Yeah, he was probably thinking it....) So, to rescue the game they are putting everyone together. I'm going to say this.... Wildstar is never going to have the population size of WoW. It's never going to have the super-progression guilds that some games have, (like The Blue Garters over on FFXIV:ARR.) It's going to be niche game for niche people. We're already seeing this at this time. So, we  have the ability to build a good community no matter what the gamer style is that plays beside us on our Megaserver. 
 
And I think that's the thing Coffee Thread has always been about. Not everyone on forum is an RP person, and not everyone in thread is an RP person. And here we all are living side by side. Sure we have issues sometimes, but again, how many people have we had jump over to Evindra or Lightspire for the community who never thought to go there before? 
 
I just feel like there's been a lot of evidence that everything will work out just fine.

			Having shards is open for abuse. In GW2 they do a thing called Purging. The entire guild one by one syncs to party so they take up all the slots in the one shard. All the loot, all the resources in that shard will be that guild only. Having an RP flagged shard is no more open to abuse than having shards at all.

			I see. Well, it doesn't appear there any perfect options. It'll probably boil down to which structure is easiest to implement.

Back on topic of the game guys :D
 
For me, after I finish this heart palpitation I'll be going in and mentoring a guildie cause she's becoming tired of leveling her second character XD	
----
			
I know not all people think the way I do. Just let people play the way they want, as long as they are not being total asshats or harassing people. I do not RP, as I have stated before, but thoroughly enjoy the community. They are, for the most part, fun to play with and not a bunch of elitist jerks. I do enjoy watching the stories unfold for the characters involved. 
 
As for the megaserver: I know there will be issues with others being jerks towards the RP community. Just have to try to ignore them and keep enjoying the game as you want to play it. Please, don't let those jerks spoil what you like best about Wildstar. If the ignore doesn't work, report their butts. I have come to the conclusion that most people who harass RPers are just jealous that they can't completely enjoy the game themselves.
 
The RP community will persevere, of this I am 100% positive.
 
I am not an RPer, but will help preserve your community against the asshats :)	
----
			History has a bad tendency of repeating itself. From what I have heard, the large majority of MMOs who went with the mega server plan ended up going free-to-play within 6 months or so. I cannot help but wonder if I am not wasting my time on this game. If I was to return to the big poobah of MMOs, I would at least know that my time will not be wasted in the sense that going free-to-play or flat-out closing down the doors is much less likely.Am I having fun? Yes. For now. I favour thinking about long-term plans.

			guys, calm down about the mega server stuff. i know its scary and honestly i dont like it anymore then you. But if we want wildstar to survive then we must roll with the changes. besides its not the server that makes the community its how said community acts. If you continue to be nice then others will do so as well, and eventually the trolls and jerks will be weeded out. I play ESO/Tera/SWTOR/DCUO and many many others. all of them have RP communities if you know where to look. Heck ESO is running on a mega server and has a very large and active RP community, ran in to one when i was on last. If WS goes F2P then expect pay walls like SWTOR, great money maker and a lot of people will spend money on it. They went from making hardly enough to break even to 100+ million. And if there are pay walls then expect the same ppl who say "ill wait for it to go F2P" to then not play because they cant have the whole game for free. Who knows they could do like tera did and grandfather those who own the game in to a system. Tera accounts that were made before it went F2P (founder accounts) have 6 char slots/ all bank slots/ no limit on listing on the AH and such.

You know, I don't want to be rude, but I almost wish that people would leave rather than halfheartedly stay and be doomsayers every second. It seems to drain any positivity out of the people who are trying to have SOME positivity even though they have misgivings.
 
 
Some of you guys are reminding me of Xan from baldur's gate and I'm fairly sure nobody ever used him because his constant negativity sucked all of the fun out of the game and made him feel obnoxious. I have no problem with calling out reality but at this point EVERYTHING is speculation... and because we don't know the game could completely turn around or if not ever get that popular maybe it could at least stabilize a bit.
 
History is a good teacher as to how to avoid things, but if you assume EVERY new thing that you do will end up like bad things in history then why should ANYONE bother to live, it's just going to go bad right?
 
 
I don't, and most people probably, have no need to help to be so fatalistic that they live their life in complete miserable apathy or just chuck themselves off this mortal coil.
 
Can we not at least TRY to take some enjoyment from SOMETHING in life dammit!?

Morning everyone.
 
I didn't really play Wildstar very much yesterday - I was playing a bit in the morning, and then the announcement happened, and I spent a lot of time on the forums instead of playing.  But I feel like it was time well spent for the most part.
 
I was "saved" from logging into EQ2 last night by a massive thunderstorm (super rare out here) that knocked out my internet for a couple hours.  I feel a little guilty saying that - but as much as I loved that game it's just dying from 10 years of short-term thinking on the part of SOE.  Once a week I log in and try to run a group for the 5 or so people left in my guild there who won't leave.  We have fun but... yeah.  It's so far from where things should be.  I wish I could get my folks there to move on, but they can't let go of 10 years of history, and I guess I can't let go of them either.  I keep hoping that the expansion happening in November will revitalize things, but it probably will only really do that on the RP server, because that's the only server with a decently active population - and my guild is not on the RP server, sadly.  If only we could transfer the guild.
 
Funny how life has these little parallels, isn't it?  It is weird to be on the other side of the problem here in Wildstar though, all because sometime in the past 10 years I learned that I like roleplaying.
 
Anyway today is.... house cleaning, some emotionally draining RL stuff, and some Wildstar.  It seems like it's going to be rainy-ish, which means at some point the puppy will want to go outside and jump in puddles, because that's what puppies do.
 
For now, coffee.  And since I'm still on vacation, I"m adding Bailey's, Kahlua, and whipped cream.  I don't care if it is 7:30 in the morning :)
 
Also, @Tex:  Everything ain't gonna be alright.  But at the end, there's still going to be sexy draken, and huggy aurin, and crazy chua.... and coffee, and everything else we love.  Some folks might leave, but new ones will come, and we'll keep on doin' what we've been doin', because we are all just too damn stubborn to quit.

*snuffs out his cigar on his way in to the coffee shop* *grabs a coffee*  Going to play a little bit of argumentative devil's advocate here.
 
Ya'll are scared about the impact of megaserver on RP.  And you site DCUO and Tera.  I've never played either of those games.  The source material and / or the game mechanics never interested me.  However.. I'm going to offer a counter argument.  And I'm going to use a game that has VERY LITTLE lore, no quests, no quest givers, no PvE raids, no purple loot and requires an Excel Spreadsheet to play.  That's right.  The game that will always be near and dear to my heart.  EvE Online.  
 
MegaServer?  Check!  More trolls than you can shake a stick at?  Check!  Holy Trinity type game?  No.  So.. granted.  There is a difference.  PvP focused?  Yep.  So yes, another difference.  Does it have a story?  ...Kind of.  But it's vague and mostly historical.  Given all that... EvE Online has spawned "Player Stories" that have then spawned, I kid you not, a published Comic Book (By Dark Horse.  Legit comic book company) BASED on those player stories.  So.... take it for what you will.  But not every instance of incredible RP comes from RP servers.  Arguably, some of the best RP I've ever read came from an Excel sheet used to calculate gun speed, and what happens when you replace .8 with 8.0.

If we're talking about EVE here, it's an epic tale of betrayal, brother against brother, and the darker side of human nature. With a tragic ending where the "good guy" probably gets shot in the back.
 
I love the heck out of EVE, but it is not for everyone. Not even in an RP sense. On the one hand, no other game allows you the freedom to actually go BE a vile, murderous, sociopathic pirate. On the other - every other game except for EVE protects you from the people who enjoy being vile, murderous, sociopathic pirates.
 
So yeah, be careful what you wish for there :)
 
To relate this back to Wildstar, imagine if the Dominion were a leaderless anarchy of competing feudal houses and the Exiles were a bunch of bloodthirsty raiders living out on the fringe.

Good morning, everyone.

In order to keep player's computers from becoming slideshows from having to render 1000 players, they break each area into multiple instances. I want one of those instances to have the RP flag, and for players to be able to opt in to having the RP shard be the default that they get moved into. 
 
So far I have PMed Cougar, and Anlath.

I love everyone and hope that the megaserver doesn't run off all the cool people in here. Ya'll are what make Wildstar dope, not the science, not the insane violence and yes... NOT EVEN THE CHUA. 
 
You guys do.

My advice to all of you, no matter how you play the game:
 
Refuse to lose. Refuse to be defeated. Refuse to have regrets.
 
I will be going permanently over to the Exile side. Now I just need to level another SS (which I still love to play). I just don't know if I want to Aurin, Human, or Mordesh with her. Any opinions on this?
 
And once I have that, I need to figure out her name. I will not be using SpousalUnit with her, due to the megaserver and already using that name.

I played Tera for about six months, maxed one character and started leveling alts. The biggest issue with the game was that the combat was the only thing it had in its favor. There was almost literally nothing else to do in-game. They tried with the political system, but that ended up being a major flop at the time. Even with one of the best combat systems I've ever played, it couldn't compensate for the lack of alternative activities. Keep in mind this was several years ago, so I don't know what's been added since then.
 
Now, if some brave developer took, for example, ArcheAge's huge selection of non-combat activities and mashed it together with Tera's combat system, I'd be there in a heartbeat.
 
Sadly, it hasn't happened yet, but WS is the closest I've seen, which is why I'm sticking with it for now.

Just take the butter out of the fridge before you put the toast in the toaster. By the time the toast is done, the butter should be soft enough to not destroy your toast. :)
 
If the butter's still hard, put it in the microwave for no more than 10 seconds.

Oh man do we have some different opinions. Those cut scenes and voiceover work can sometimes be a boon, but I wanted to straight up murder Minfilia and, later, Alphinaud. In fact, I had a mild distaste for even the best speaking roles. I hated the voiceovers so much.

Well, I'd first like to suggest to both Lankybrit and Kytar that you please please please get the server name right while it's still a server?   :(
Evindra wants to have a word with this "Elvindra" trollop.  >_>
 
I would really love it if they would add an "achievement" title "of Servername".  That way all of us who remember our OG server fondly can choose a title to represent and remember:
 
Tep Tris of Evindra
Teneko Koneko of Thunderfoot
 
Like that.
 
Anyways.
I've said it before and I've said it again.  I'll keep playing on RP or Megaserver as long as it's fun.  I don't know the future.  It may suck.  I do truly feel bad for the people who feel betrayed or like they've seen it happen before.
I hope for the best, and prepare for the worst.
 
You guys are awesome.  It's not the server name or server flag that makes it awesome.  It's you - the players.
And my player may not sit around and RP much, but I will trot my rubber-banding Mechari butt over to stand guard over any of you that find you are being griefed.

I still think that many of you are being incredibly short sighted. The game has only been out for a few months (blah blah beta), and it will take at the very least another year to flesh it out. Its entirely possible that the community will turn over several times, mostly because of the fact that everyone seems to be treating this as a game that should be completely polished.
 
I have nothing against any of the other games that have been out the past few years (WOW, Aion, Warhammer, Rune, Elder, etc etc etc). each is its own special snowflake.
 
But, first MMO WOW excluded, none of them were really captivating for very long - and none were as feature rich as Wildstar is. We wait, we see.. I'm betting things will look pretty awesome down the road. If you don't have the patience for that, or can't stomach the creation/breakdown of Guilds, the changing of skills and classes maybe a break is in order.
 
I would miss every single one of you who left, as I feel I've gotten to know you over these past months (whether I reply to your posts or not). But I'm for damned sure staying. Because the most toxic servers, the crappiest game play, and the most annoying devs/mods/whatever will still never hold a candle to playing with the right people.
 
And you, folks, are the right people.

I'm betting things will look pretty awesome down the road. If you don't have the patience for that, or can't stomach the creation/breakdown of Guilds, the changing of skills and classes maybe a break is in order.
 
I would miss every single one of you who left, as I feel I've gotten to know you over these past months (whether I reply to your posts or not). But I'm for damned sure staying. Because the most toxic servers, the crappiest game play, and the most annoying devs/mods/whatever will still never hold a candle to playing with the right people.
 
And you, folks, are the right people.

I still think that many of you are being incredibly short sighted. The game has only been out for a few months (blah blah beta), and it will take at the very least another year to flesh it out. Its entirely possible that the community will turn over several times, mostly because of the fact that everyone seems to be treating this as a game that should be completely polished.

In Wildstar news, I just got my Epochos chest schematic done.  Two more pieces and then I have the full set of schematics!
 
I want to post a thread about the art bug with the shoulders (they float like a full foot above the character's actual shoulders), but my image host is not cooperating with me :\
 
Also, I need more dyes.  The ones I have don't look good on the Epochos set. :(

Very, very true.  In my younger days I had 68 Mustang CS.  Chrome pipes, 4.7 V8.  Painted White with a red and black pony racing stripe decal.  We called her the Pale Horse "..and upon her, death rode."  ...I miss that car.  On the upside, that car paid for my wedding.  ...in full. lol

 This would have made more sense sooner, before we started talking about things like cars and stopped complaining.

I want a Jeep in Wildstar.
 
Just saying.
 
Actually, I hope they implement my mount request some day.  That way, mounts would have different and variable uses.

To be honest most of my major RP involves housing already. For those who fear for the Malgrave beach parties I also hear ya. That event is barely in control as it is!
 
But I hold we continue to boldly strut our creativity. That our stately server, having weathered the severest storms of a troubled launch, remain anchored in tranquil waters as proof that Friendship and Fun and zest for freedom are truly indestructible!

I don't think many of the coffee people are threatening to leave.  Most of us play on Evindra, though, and we're not happy about being put on a server where we won't have any place to do open world RP without attracting trolls.

Yep. But I needed to say what I needed to say. Because Wildstar.

Wildstar needs "special effects" clothing.  
 
I mean.. even the decade old horse engine that is WoW can create Epic Angel Wing transparent armor.. we need some cool sci-fi stuff like that!
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
S...sorry but I disagree. Don't want to look like a lit up christmas tree...  :unsure:
Stuff like the Medic raid set is more than enough bling in my book.

			Not a big fan of the pvp medic armor, but I have loved the crazy mecha bling pve armor from the moment I saw it.

Honestly I thought of a funny joke. What if... say Kit Brinny for arguments sake just for like a quarter of a second just flashed buck naked like once a day. So seldom, and random you couldn't be actually sure if you saw it or if you might be losing your mind.
 
Also ridiculously tera esq kinky outfits.... but you generate like 1000% threat. You can get your attention if you are prepared to deal with the consequences.

I'm hoping eventually we get some more zones like Farside, so perhaps the territorial control would be both sides trying to take over Nexus's moons?
 
 
 
Why? You're going to end up with 12 character slots. ^_^

That is horrible and would cause way too many lag problems.

Yes, but subscription would go up 4,000%.  Primarily in Asia.

Available at shady merchants in your capital of choice.
Only 300p per slot.

I've been rp'ing in games for a really long time, and while I'm not saying trolling doesn't happen I can say that I don't see it happen all that often, and when it does it's usually from a tiny percentage of the population. The fact is that rp has become such a huge part of gamer culture that there are more people who sympathize with people who rp in games even if they themselves don't rp in games than there are people who give others crap about it.
 
I do think that having its own channel is a must even for rp servers, and I've always kept personal rp between characters to pm's. The fact is that just because I like to rp doesn't mean I like seeing chat flooded with paragraphs of rp between people who aren't attempting to limit their rp so that others feel welcome. I try to keep my rp to no longer than a tweets worth of text whenever possible.

We have the RP forums. Wildstar Roleplay the website is also a Godsend for me, a newb Rper.
 
Where there is a will there is a way. An RPer will find RP.
 
They need a community to get into though. That's why its so important to maintain our community.

 The only bad thing about this joke is I can almost FEEL someone readying up to call me a victim blamer or something.

 I also like the idea that someone would get a screen shot swear up and down it's real, and have someone sit by Kit for like 14 hours and see nothing and call him a liar.

D...dang I actually didn't even see that angle. Yeah better be careful you don't raise your threat levels any more and attract some serious outrage-aggro.  :ph34r:
