I appreciate the time it takes in explaining to new Players about RP mechanics who may be potentially interested in such a venture.

I enjoy Role-Playing, and plan on learning as much as possible in both lore and game mechanics first.

RP can be a very richly rewarding experience, and it is what drives the Story forward.

I’ll be sure to sharpen my skills a bit as I haven’t had a good RP session in a long time.

@ISD_Buldath

Sorry to ping, but the original post is locked so I cannot edit it, and I cannot use the flag to request re-opening, since I’ve already done that once before and it does not show me the flag option now, only “you flagged this post of moderation”.

Is it possible to just leave it open for edits permanently?

Added:

> CCP has also gotten back to the habit of running some events in the game with CCP event NPC actor characters and the new “diamond” AI NPC ships. There’s usually no particular announcement of these, but they can happen as part of world news or as response to player-organized events. Sometimes, but not nearly always, CCP streams them on their Twitch.

there aree many, some more Centric than others. My own as an example being fairly RP-lite, though I encourage my members to engage in RP when possible. Some are much more specific and have it as required. It varies a lot

Years ago I applied to Electus Matari, but nobody ever answered. I sent messages to two of their recruitment people. Oh well. I love the corp I’m in now, but it would be nice if finding RP corps wasn’t so difficult.

I’m guessing there are no role play corps around anymore.

I have followed some of the channels I’ve seen recommended - The Summit, for example - and there seems to be RP active within one or two of them.

Is that the main way people RP in-game?

And then the forums for IC discussions, fiction, lore etc?

Playing the game consistent with your character is perhaps the most common way to roleplay! For example, an Amarr loyal alliance might fly in amarr space, sell/buy goods in the Amarr hub, do amarr oriented missions, enlist in amarr faction warfare, take the amarr side (or at least a side beneficial to amarr?) in agency events, and otherwise try to do things that support the empire.

Others like to write about their characters/eve (see eve fiction in this forums).

Others also like more interactive chat roleplay, such as in Summit, or the IGS forums.
