RP Storylines

[Caldari]

Hey there Ebon Hawkers! Caldari here with a quick question. Swtor has been out for almost a month now (8 more days). During that month, I have been able to get a feel for my character, Caldari, at a couple RP meet and greets and instances of random RP. Now, that I know who Caldari is and what he does, I would like to know: are there are any server-spanning storylines that I could get involved with? And if not, how should I go about starting a storyline? Thanks and have a wonderful evening!

PS: My definition of a storyline is anything that has a character or a group of characters engaged in story-packed event that greatly drives character development and character-story. Pretty much anything RP besides missions and random cantina chatter.

I haven't seen or heard anything about a server-wide storyline or anything. Of course, I don't exactly poke my head around everywhere to find them either! As for making one, I think you could either brainstorm one yourself, ooooorr...get some people together and GROUP BRAINSTORM. Could post ideas here, or talk about it in-game, or whatever.

[Caldari]

Thanks for the quick answer! I guess we can use this thread to brainstorm ideas for storylines. I think it will be a fun way to develop our characters and advance our personal stories.

[Tynril]

That works! I'm not entirely sure how much of a help I'd be personally, I'll try to help come up with stuff.

I assume you're talking about player-driven storylines, as opposed to the ones we find in the game, of course?

I think we're still going to be trying to get a feel for each other for a while longer yet.

But it does make sense to have some folks post a bit more about what their characters are up to...

I miss my old Earthen Ring website - we had JOURNALS! (Ie, individual blogs...) These were awesome for folks wanting to post what was going on in their virtual lives. I suppose though... hrm. We could kinda "fake" it. Of course it still would be kind of "meta" knowledge... but it gives people ideas for intersecting plots, which is really what it's all about.

After all my nagging other people, my own guild still hasn't started recruiting - and our main theme is "I.I.-spy rock band". I think I've been slightly nervous about alienating the srs-bsns rpers, but so far, everyone's been pretty cool, despite our inane attempts at doing Metalocalypse in space.

[The Duchess]

Hrm, this may be cause for getting a few of us together (guild leaders, etc) and pose a few plots to get going. I'd also like some coordination Republic side so we can spy on each other. ;-)

Many of the plotters I know don't actually come here (many rpers seem to dislike forums of any sort, sadly).

[Tynril]

Yeah, I know how that goes. Some people think forums are silly and want nothing to do with 'em. Ah well! As for spying on me...you won't see me! *hides on his starship*

[Caldari]

I'm not a leader of any guild, but i would love to help start a few plots. And to answer Raphael's question, yes, these are plots crafted by the community to enhance our personal RP stories, not the ones found ingame. *Picks up pencil and paper to start brainstorming ideas.*
