' Wrote:Well, looking at things, it'd be nice to do something nice for the new players, 'eh? Show them what the server is really about. Give them a good taste of RP. You know, what we normally do but not everyone does?
Well, what if we went and had weekly events in Penn? I was thinking like the Mk 1 events of old. Mainly because, well, they're not as serious as the real weekly PvP events. Frankly, I don't think those do our server justice, and most new players only see those events and not the other Roleplaying ones.
Frankly, I would like to put Roleplaying in new player's heads first. As we all know, most of them stay in Penn and have quite rocky starts. I think there is more we can do than shoving some money in their face and asking them to read the server rules. We can show them what extraordinary RP is and show them that it can be extremely fun to be engaged in it. Heck, if I were a new player and saw all these people going through an event like that and then I looked at the forum to see a whole bunch of people laughing about how fun it was to fly in awful ships and argue semantics (with or without weapons fire!), I would definitely want to figure out how to get in.
So, basically, who would be up for holding weekly Mk 1 Fighter events in Pennsylvania? Thinking about it, there are a plethora of things that could be done. I, personally, think it would be great for the newbies...
I strongly support this idea, My question is this though, Would the new players respond to anything but shameless recruiting and tossing money around?
I've dragged The Heavy Metal Queen through Penn on many occassions when Penn was filled to the brim, trying to stir up RP, maybe it's just me...but my attempts never really worked, if somebody finds a way to make this work, I'll more than happily help out though, I think something like this is really needed here right now.
Edit: I could bring along any of the characters listed in my siggie, except for my Corsair and my Commie.
No one person can change anything. Other players, fresh from the PVP servers are gonna be like :"OMG WTF Is this guy doing.. W00t, who's he talking to.." etc
So, we need more than one, to role play, and give example.
Here, I'll volunteer my Ageira transport to be pirated on systemwide comms somewhere in Penny.
