Yeah.. like Tramel said, this is a potential RP gold mine.
When I stepped off the shuttle.. the whole center of town looked different. I saw people with the <DF> tag buzzing about. I almost thought I heard the Imperial March playing in the background. Arriving in town was CREEEEPY. I was greeted immediately by a member of the ISB who already knew my name. The place I called home was no longer the same. The tranquility of Zeal was replaced by.. Empire.
The Empire is what makes Star Wars cool.. After talking to Griggs last night, it sounds like they want to capture some of that. He wants to make Mos Tera a real imperial city.
His people, and to a large degree Gorath in general, want to get more into RP. They want to explore it, some have had a taste and want more.
You want to hear something funny? Tovaar and I were having a conversation about Roleplayers and PvP'ers last night. She was thinking that PvP is the opposite of RP. I told her I thought otherwise.. the people who still play and PvP really want more, they crave RP. Well I guess there was some PvP'ers over at her house and some RP broke out.. she sends me a tell to the effect of, "omg, you were right!".
A game is just a game. In and of itself, nothing but numbers. Roleplay is what makes a game something more. It makes it a STORY!!
