Roleplay Guild Ideas, How to Make it Work?

[ukaking]

We have thousands of veterans in this game. This is a roleplay MMO. It seems that at lower levels with my Iksar, I have no trouble what so ever getting someone to fall into a small amount of RP in our conversations, just to change things up. But as we level we get stuck in that, Where is my loot and when are we raiding mode. We can still do that, but why can't it be a bit more meaningful? Need that certain piece of armor from Hate? Why not just say, "Guild Trainer X has sent me to the realm of Hate in search of piece X."
Just looking for ideas to give a change of pace. How can it work? How can a RP guild make sense?
Should it be all Dark Race? All lights? If it is popular enough, would there be two guilds that could set up PvP events with one another?
Why is it we enjoy the simple aspects of the game at lower levels, then forget them as we grow?
Some of my best memories of EQ were funny banter and RPs in groups just to pass the grind time.
Maybe some with open minds here and come together and make this make sense?
What ideas would you use to make this work?

Love Rp and there are a lot of folks that rp quite regularly but usually only when they arent playing to seriously.

best part about being an ogre you can rp anytime and people usually like it =p

Yeah I'm one of those that's receptive to it when people put their RP hat on - engaged in some RP with my DE cleric before too

People purple line? "As a healer of Innoruuk it is my duty to bring people close to death" (OOC: fuck that was close)

"smybol plx"... "the Prince of Hate requires a small donation" (I'll only pull that one if a wizard or other 'not supposed to be taking damage' class asks for it)

All kinds of other stuff if you're creative - if you're rezzing someone ask them to state their respect for the Prince of Hate, or some such other deity related stuff [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Obviously trolls and ogres can be tons of fun... my troll SK used to die pulling at the MM castle entrance sometime - cue a bunch of stupid jokes about (legit) getting stuck in the door, FD failing, tripping over your own feet rather than landing successfully...

Lizards, just add a couple of extra S's, act evil and menacing - state your superiority over other races for the reason you cant bank or trade anywhere easily.

All great fun, more people should roleplay and enjoy grouping with it...shit is classic [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Now you're talking my language! I haven't had the chance to rp with many people, but occasionally I like to encourage the broodlings with chants of "Glory to new Sebilis!" and buffs of spirit armor and dead mens floating. Also I've kept a small journal of my necromancer's adventures in /note.

Exactly, is this really that much of an effort that folks wouldnt want to do it with other like minded people for a little different experience in the game? Are we so full of min/maxers on this server that this can't be done?

Always open for it, and i was sad to find that there wasn't any real rp guilds out there.

Sign me up if one gets started. Know a few others that would join up.

This is on a side note; I love doing the languages in game. If anyone wants to skill up languages together, let me know.
