Phase 3 Started: Finalize your guild now

[Keeloth]

I'm going to echo Broin and say that wherever we go, things will be awesome.  Why?  Because all of you guys will be there, and that's what'll make this game a treat.

I could see us awing a PvP server into becoming an unofficial PvP-RP server.  I could also see us flourishing in a dedicated RP-PvP environment.  Really, we'd do well either way.

[JazzyC]

How many of you have played on RP servers before?  Maybe I just had a bad experience but in WoW it was blech.  Could someone who's played full RP in previous games speak up about the servers that they've played on?

Having spent my entire Lotro life on an RP server I have never once found the population lacking.  I can't actually vouch for what the other servers are like, but I always get the sense it is a bit more respectful and mature playerbase.  (in the majority of cases that is).

RP rules are apparently enforced, most typically in name choice and area chat.

If the lore in a game is strong enough, you will have a strong RP base.  I think SWG saw a large RP base, and lotro has a strong RP base.  And I would say it is done to the subject matter.  Something we obviously no is in abundance in TOR.

I generally always go to the rp servers because they generally have a much more mature player base and are generally more respectable in terms of population they are normally mid to high on the population but as with FA you mostly get quality over quantity and we get to avoid the 4chan chat that I'm experiencing alot in beta

I never had a low pop RP server in wow I left maelstrom because the queue times were becoming too long (they started offering free transfers after a while) and moved to an RP-pve server and still had a pretty mid to high pop. my SWG experience was simply stellar to say the least. The RP was phenomenal, and they still were a good enough community to help out in combat matters and were OOC at those times.

I think in the post wow era we will see the 4chan chat no matter where we go, its just going to be a question of how much of it can we take or want to. as much as I think Guild chat will be my primary go to, im not going to ignore general in the event someone needs our help.

I also think that in terms of making a difference or impact to the game or server, being stuck on a pvp server would make us fight an uphill battle in some ways. While I have no doubt that our PVP capabilities will be phenomenal and give us a lot of respect, I dont think it will be as much as it was in MxO. More like fanboyism at best.

Which server on WoW?  I played on Shadow Council for the couple of years I played WoW, population was never an issue.  Never had a wait for queue for PvP instances or dungeons.

Now granted, that wasn't an RP-PvP server.  But with RP-PvP servers being included in launch in SWTOR, I don't see population being an issue here.

I don't remember.  It was a long time ago.  

This is why I asked everyone else their experience as mine could have been a fluke or just out dated.

Overall, like I said, I'll be happy to play with you guys wherever.  I'm excited either way.

Its seems like yours was a fluke you should have played on Twisting Nether. Im happy do see that a lot of people from TN are coming over. The guy who made the RP-PVP NA Coordination thread was a leader in the community.

[Tbone]

The Guardians, one of our two "allies", have also confirmed going RP-PvP.

[Broin]

I sense a big discussion at the Monday meeting on this.  I would say if you want to put your two cents in you need to be there.

[Anamodiel]

Luckily, we have yet to schedule any interviews, so it's ok if it gets heated.

[JP]

Sounds like this needs a poll.

[Anamodiel]

I think the current plan is to have the meeting on Monday where everyone can get as educated as possible and then I think we will throw up a poll. We wouldn't want the poll influencing people before the meeting.

[JazzyC]

For those who cannot attend the meeting, can we please have some minutes of the meeting so we can all make as best a decision as possible when the poll goes up.

[Tbone]

We usually do. I don't know why we haven't had meeting notes lately.

[Anamodiel]

I forgot to take them last week, and most other weeks I've been busy with school. I will not be attending the meeting this Tuesday because I have a midterm the next day, so someone else will need to take notes.
