The Roleplay custom chat channel?

[thalion]

I was just reading about the custom chat channels and I'm looking forward to experimenting with them when I next log in. As Sarlona was one of the unofficial Roleplay servers do you think we might use this for a /RP channel?

**Edit the "RP" channel has been adopted by:

1. Roleplayers of Sarlona
2. Rest in Pieces
3. Darksoul
4. 1st Fist of Light
5. The Forsworn
6. and the specific Roleplay groups within Dedicated Teams

For Quick Access simply /joinchannel rp

The Roleplay Channel:

• Would it work?
• Would it be practical?
• Would your RP guild participate?
• Would occasional RPrs bind to it to see what's going?

If you want to setup a separate chatwindow here are some sample instructions:

• "/joinchannel rp" ( you'll get a message count of listeners at that moment in time )
• on an existing chat tab right click - select create new chat window
• right click on the new window -rename it to Roleplay
• right click on the Roleplay window - assure that incoming type /userchat1 is checked (disable others as you see fit)
• right click on the Roleplay window - and select outgoing type /userchat1 (or you'll always have to type "/uc rp text-roleplay-message" or "/uc1 text-roleplay-message")

I will probably detach that window and run it semi-transparent somewhere on the screen and leave it up to monitor posts by interested RPrs.

It would eliminate the need for (()) or OOC tags presumably, because (hopefully) there would never be a need to speak OOC in it. I have no idea of the issues from a practical standpoint, but from a conceptual standpoint, it sounds great.

Sounds cool. I'll be joining the RP channel next time I play. See you guys there.

It seems to be working well so far. I've joined the channel several times, no problems with it.

I have edited the first post with instructions.

I remember Merlask suggested we put a Roleplay comment in the who panel for our characters when we log in but perhaps this may be an easier more permanent tool for the RPrs?

I have suggested that my RP enabled Dedicated Team Groups join the channel.

The Forsworn 'RP' guild has expressed interest ( I will bring it up at the Forsworn's guild meeting this Sunday )

Our Dedicated Team joined the channel tonight and we since we had 2 spots open for the evening we talked to some Forsworn who were on the channel and they joined us. So it is working for cross-guild grouping.
