So I have heard about how Tarnished Coast is the unofficial RP server and since have been watching the status so I can transfer when it isn’t full… which is never.

Basically what I’m asking is if there is any RP outside of Tarnished Coast and where it may be, or at least a better server then I’m on currently because Henge of Denravi is not as helpful as I was told GW2 would be . I feel like I’m doing stuff by myself more often then in any other MMO I’ve played.

I’ve personally been wondering the same thing. I’m on Yak’s and it doesn’t seem that anyone there is into RP. If you find anything, please let me know!

I have a friend who RPs on Tarnished Coast, apparently it’s only it certain parts of it, but one server for RP is a bit too little, there needs to be more of a variety especially since… well, the server is FULL.

This would all be easier if there were official RP servers.

If they add another RP server, it too will become full. What we really need is Role Playing instances of areas that you can manually enter from any server. Dungeons apparently already work this way to some extent, since last night I was in a party for Fractals of the Mists that included people from the Ehmry Bay and Tarnished Coast servers.

If we had RP instances, then people who want RP could enter it any time they wanted without having to wait weeks or months to change servers.

Piken Square is the other unofficial RP server (on EU), so if Tarnished Coast is constantly full, you can try your luck there.

On Tarnished Coast, most RP tends to happen in towns (especially Divinity’s Reach) and taverns, but it’s not uncommon for me to run into impromptu roleplays occuring anywhere in the world. I also do my best to try and keep any /say speech in character, although I freely go OOC in Map chat.

@CelestialPetal: Apparently Henge of Denravi is a shell of its former self since the Titan Alliance imploded. Guilds and players left the server in droves, which may be why you simply can’t find anyone there.

On Tarnished Coast there is a guild that runs RP sessions all over the place and near constantly. They’re quite big and I never seem to bump into them not in-character. Just today I was wandering through the Kessex Hills and stumbled across maybe 15-20 of them all hanging out in Garrenhoff.

@the guy making snide remarks about how people don’t know what RP means: please teach us, oh master.

Yeah, Henge got gutted when the WvW guilds left. The people remaining are trying and I always see at least a few people, but there’s a lot of solo time now. I almost always see a few people around, but where and when you play has a big impact on that.

I’m interested in starting an RP guild on Henge – if we can’t go to the RP we might as well RP where we are. Hopefully we can draw more players to Henge and out into the world so it’s a bit less empty.

I finally got to transfer! yaaaay Just waiting for my boyfriend to have it be not full for him notsoyay I would also like to know about this guild. Another question, is there a place I could look up a lot of GW2 Lore? I’m kinda going into this blind lore wise but I do know a lot about RP.

I don’t actually know their name, I just keep seeing their tag everywhere. It’s [VIII]. I’ll click on one of them the next time I see them.

A very good place to start looking is either playing GW1 or watching a Let’s Play series on youtube. I know of at least one guy that did a Let’s Play for the entirety of Guild Wars 1 (including quests) but I can’t remember who he was (my memory sucks guys, sorry). He was a British guy though.

Other than that wiki.guildwars.com and wiki.guildwars2.com are pretty well-maintained. You can also read the books (Ghosts of Ascalon / Edge of Destiny).

@CelestialPetal: Congrats on making it to the cool server! As far as lore is concerned, you should be able to find most of what you need on the official Wiki by looking up the relevant pages for races, cultures etc.

Of course, if you have lots of time to spare, you could always pick up GW1 and its expansions and play through that. Nothing beats being able to learn history by witnessing the Searing firsthand.

@Kerithlan: I think I’ve seen them around a few times too. One time I stumbled upon a secret(?) gathering of roleplayers in an underwater cave in Metrica Province. Not sure if they were the guild, but man I felt like an intruder. >.>

I RP on Tarnished Coast and it’s all over the place, in cities and in open world and in some hot spot like the hunting lodge etc. I saw all kind, I saw tavern RP, flirting, light, heavy, very cool stories going on too and racial communities forming. I think TC has a bit of everything for everyone and building up a RP friend list is not hard, I got only one “sorry guild only rp” since release! So I would say we are very welcoming.

Concerning the server transfer, omg yes I agree we are full ALMOST all the time. My son started playing yesterday and it’s only today right before 6 pm that I saw TC not being full I rushed to transfer him because I bet 15-20 min later it was back to full. I think just the quality of TC open world RP (that I and my friend experienced anyway) is worth the hassle to try to find a gap to join it.

This is true. I was loyal to HoD until a week or so ago. Leaving was the best decision I made on this game. The zones at my new home actually have people and WvW isn’t depressing.

Strange, I play on Tarnished Coast and to my dismay I haven’t seen anyone role-play in 3 weeks. Although I admit that all I do these days is doing working on my 100% exploration while gathering food for my cooking so I don’t see THAT many people, especially in 50-70 zones.

I have done that! It was in Kessex Hills up near the Isgarren’s View POI. They were all Court of Thorns rpers sitting in a circle – for a moment I thought they were holding a seance. I briefly debated showing up on my Sylvari Courtier-hunter and trying to take them all on, but then I got distracted. =D

My 18 characters are waiting for outfits from GW1 like Tuxedos! WE GOT DWAYNA! =D

A really great touring RP on TC (but you only need to guest onto TC !) is RPCD. a forumer, Ropechef, is a leader and it was probably the highest quality RP I’ve participated in.

Friend told me to get GW2, the RP is great, it is even on a discount!

“Server is always full”, if this continues, might as well ask for a refund. No point if I cannot play.

Apparently Piken Square is lifeless and dead too, so you are stuck with TC.

Since the advent of the megaservers, the home server is basically meaningless, except for WvW events.

If they’d give us a ‘RP’ tag, to help group RPers together, that’d be nice, but I’m not holding my breath.

In the meantime, just watch for roleplay happening, since you may wind up on a Megaserver that has some TC people on it. Or RPers from other servers, they certainly do exist.

Unfortunately, for now the Megaserver system really has rendered RP much harder to reliably find.
