Megaservers and RP

in Guild Wars 2 Discussion

I would think that it would be good for Role Players that had become invested on other servers from the days of release to be rolled into worlds with more of those that Role Play. The Megaserver from what I understand could do that for us. Sometimes I’ve been able to get on to Tarnished Coast but many of my friends and guild members are invested on Maguuma which is where I started when Tarnished Coast was so full you couldn’t get a finger in the door leastwise a foot. I was hoping that the Mega server would help me find more people to friend so that RP is not so hit and miss when I’m romping around Tyria.

RP can be found on any server it’s just harder to maintain consistency in the face of changing populations. What I am more upset with is the fact that we are not receiving any additions to the emote system for visual social cues, and we do not have social props (i.e. Chicken legs, ale mugs, goblets, chairs) An excellent point made in some fan forums for RP have wondered if such things could be incorporated within the ‘toy’ system where interacting with a certain object gives you skills that trigger different social animations. We had been told (maybe jokingly) at the beginning through the use of a funny comic strip that GW2 would be the first game where you could sit at a bar interact with a mug that would come with the actions of drinking the contents or smashing the mug over the “orc’s” head. We have the hero elixir where you can brain a man or drink it but by drinking it you magically siphon it out of your offhand as your bottle is still held as if to whack someone. This leads me to believe that the social side of GW2 for Rp’ers was unfinished and was hoping they would update something in the new update for April 15th. Emotes and Props. If the developers can give us flowers and dancing books, instruments and sonic diggers, how about some new emotes and social props like usable chairs, bars, drinks and food?
