Hey there. After reading up some threads on the RP board, and wandering around IG, I see a problem: it's rather hard for people to connect unless they happen to be in the same city in-game, or are guild/party members. A lot of the @main chatter gets lost in the autoloot spam, and we frequently have no idea as to what interesting conversations go on in, say, Prontera center while we're dungeon-crawling.
Tentative solution: Provide an outside-of-the-game chatroom where folks can congregate in the evenings while still doing stuff IG. Off the top of my head, IRC, and its client (free) mIRC, do the job nicely.
As an added benefit, it makes connecting with people for RP extremely easy (No need to figure out if they are online under one of their dozen character names), and allows folks to catch up on earlier conversations.
Thoughts?
