Yes, it would be good to have an RP server, as it would be good to have many other things. But we have only what we have. So far, I've been able to do much more RP than before the NGE...possibly because those who like to fight are getting bored with the dumbed down version of fighting?
And yes, I'm having to recreate my character. This event gave impetus to that recreation. And I, too, enjoyed watching the AT-AT, big eyed like any other commoner.
I volunteer to be question answerer at the next public crackdown, whatever we decide to call them. The first time we try something new...well, it is just a learning experience. Gives us ideas on how to do it better the next time. Despite the problems, it really did work decently. I stuck around, and watched while roleplaying.
All those Imperial uniforms did make it seem more Star Warsy, lol.
