Love it?
Hate it?
Do it?

I'm curious as I was directed here as the alternate RP server since TC is packed.  Anyone else out there?

Never tried it and wouldn't be against it but I'd be a noob and probably break character often haha

I've heard multiple times that this was the alt RP server but to be honest I personally haven't seen much of it. So either the people who declared this as the server left, or they haven't joined this site yet, or if they have they don't talk about it much here :/
I don't mind it but I'm generally in voice chat with guildies so I don't usually partake in any sort of RP in this game

I have tried RP before, quite a few years ago, and I really enjoyed it. I had no idea EBay was considered something of an RP server. I know we have a guild that calls themsevles a role playing guild..but I don't remember what it was called....
I'm with drake though, it'd be tough to RP while we're all chatting in TS haha.

As far as GW2 role-playing goes there's Erika Revane who is with an RP guild, you may want to check with her and see what's what and whether they know of any other efforts.  I think that Ehmry Bay may have gotten this reputation because we are the "official" furry server, but that's not GW2 lore RP.

I'd love to see a lore RP based forum section in here with character background stories and things like that.

Yeah, sorry to hear that mate, I guess it's just not the same with a small sword.

In the kitchen, laundry room, basement, at the park, in the mall etc.

Sword fighting travels.

In all honestly though, perhaps the dragging of a legit question about game related roleplaying into the gutter is why there aren't more roleplayers present in the game.

Haha, I'm not trolling for furry rp or for anything besides the RP Thuley mentioned: legit lore based role playing.

I'm going to need to read up on the lore. GW lore is so amazing though.....little off topic...but may be of interest to you. Did you know you can now preorder the next GW novel??? Doesn't come out until June though. -.-

Agreed. Darkwalker had a valid question. Derailing and burying it with unnecessary banter may turn off any potential discussion to bear fruit. I'm guilty of this too.

I've done RP in my time but very limited in a video game setting. DnD 3.5 and marvel pen and paper so far have been my only experience.

Right!  And GW2 gives you a great building block in your storyline quest if you're mediocre at coming up with plot.  Better than other MMOs I've seen.  Be nice to flesh them out and such...if it's your thing.  I understand if it isn't.  But I'm generally all about aesthetics and story is a huge aesthetic in a game like this.

Best way to start is building a back story for your character you'll be using in an RP setting.

I made my main with the intention that she was a descendent of my original character in GW1.
