![]() ![]() That's precisely the gap that text-based RP currently fills. I should know better than to ask for any insight by now, but do you not read the text in this game? Do you just rely on sounds and animation cues? I mean, if this game contained all the diplomacy and cultural exploration and scientific discovery that are the hallmarks of good Star Trek as opposed to all the combat pew-pew-pew that both you and I notice is too prevalent here, they would be almost entirely text-based game mechanics. Your capacity to negatively contribute to a discussion is truly otherworldly. But again, some people will find it interesting or fun. ![]() Honestly i find text role playing the most stupid thing ive ever seen. Originally posted by n3mes1s:What has to do text role playing with actual mmo role playing? ROFL. Don't even think about doing anything over the public channels, which are cancerous per usual in MMOs. Bottom line: You'll have to track down a dedicated fleet to find anything worth RPing. ![]() There also is/was some casual walkup "tavern RP" going on, although with Quark's possibly being added to the general DS9 map instead of being a separate zone, the devs may have unintentionally killed that off and sent RP back to the specialty fleets and private channels forever. There are some guilds (called "fleets" here) that use STO as a platform to conduct dice rolling style RP, for example. Now as to roleplay, don't expect the general playerbase to spare a moment of thought for it, but you can find pockets of it. Just keep in mind while playing that it's imperfect and places a hugely disproportionate emphasis on combat and warfare as a matter of necessity to appeal to gamers. I personally had a pretty shallow understanding of Star Trek before I started playing the game, and it inspired me to spend the many, many hours catching up on most of the TV shows (still haven't watched Voyager or Discovery), so don't listen to these people who tell you it's a horrible thing you should never play. But if we're being honest, so are the TV shows and movies. If you're looking to learn about the Star Trek universe, just understand that Star Trek Online is a messy starting point. ![]()
