Sabbath Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 Hellooooo.. I'm new to this community, this is my first month in. I notice a lot of rooms labeled as "RP" and when I enter there isn't really much rp going on. I am a former roleplayer looking to get into rp again (it's been a few years lol). In this community, does "RP" simply mean narration or are people actually collaboratively running through scenarios together? I haven't seen any actual rp anywhere thus far. I have a few ideas of my own that I would like to try out at some point and any information regarding this will be appreciated. I don't want to get excited just to find out no one actually roleplays.

Tali Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 It means both, but more often than not RP is just 'narration'. Sabbath 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexxxxi Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 well lately most rooms sucks. some good players no longer playing anymore. you can play as your own RP. Game actually need improvement more customization and non sexual poses and clothes but again all fantasy. but there isn't any update anymore Sabbath 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yaelle Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 Some role players are in the game but they play only in private room with friends. It's my case, but I'm sorry, I play only in french. Sabbath 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheVampireLestat Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 Most on 3DX can't chat / cyber to save their life. It's like being on the the Titanic while fucking but on FIRE, as someone is clawing a chalk board while we sink to our doom at 1/4 speed.

AndroidGirl Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 Things have certainly gotten worse. I believe RP was best when the lockdowns were most intense, when people played regularly, and you could do complex story lines with multiple people and be fairly confident you will be able to get the same people together and continue the story soon. Now everyone is more busy, so you better stick to simpler one off scenes, since you aren't sure when you would see the person again another thing is, i still meet very good roleplayers now and then, but unfortunately people who are good at RP tend to not be online very often; i guess it is understandable, more interesting people probably have more things to do in real life. not that i would know, of course and, of course, most rooms that have RP in the name are merely a suggestion. It is more like the owner says: i built a room with a certain RP scenario in mind, and i'd like you to find people to RP with and use the room. you're welcome But, since you can't really attach a room description/rules to a room (you can make a forum page, but who ever reads those?), the players have to guess what the owner had in mind; also, finding a partner who can RP takes a bit of luck Rooms where the owner actually makes an effort to guide the RP are very rare; also please understand it is a lot of effort, and players don't make it very easy. I do come across such rooms now and then Also, if you think you are good at RP, maybe you could run a guided RP room yourself? i would appreciate the effort :) Vyvienne 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last open RP room with an attempt at a narrative that I know of was Slutmoore Extra Credit. But they shut down due to the owners burning out. Still miss that place.

I forget the name of your spaceport rest stop, but what an awesome theme and place you hosted! Although unable to fully immerse my character into your place due to my pitiful knowledge of sci-fi, you and your staff always welcomed me warmly. One of the memorable places in 3DX for me! I agree. It does take time and energy to form a role, let alone a world, and fully bring a character fully to life within a particular RP. It can happen and when it does, wildly entertaining! Time being in such short supply, it is challenging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time being in such short supply, it is challenging. There’s a simple thing to save time on the immersion part. Just Roleplay yourself. Instead of having to work out a background or likes for the character, you just have to think up a ‘why is he here?’ In AG’s Coriolis Bar. You could just be Jack the space tourist. Or something.

Corilois Bar! Yes, I miss their ale. Among other things. Dee, ya' know me well. That's exactly the part I played, and it served me well. I found some of the other characters so interesting though, and can see getting outside yourself being real fun. Time though. Always that time thing.

AndroidGirl Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 Coriolis bar worked great when people played regularly and you could start complex story lines with multiple people being fairly confident you can get them together to continue the story soon enough. Now with everyone being busy in RL it doesn't really work. The last month of Coriolis was not fun at all Now we live in an age of simpler RP formats, unfortunately Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

panCDCA Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 There's Pattaya City that is trying to get started and needs help. Sadly, so many "RP" rooms have turned into meet and phux that the RP is dying. In my alt I will approach people who say they want to RP, I have my profile scenario but I also say I am open to theirs and they are not interested. So, saying RP and meaning RP are 2 totally different things. RP isn't ALL about sex and shouldn't be. 3dx there sadly isn't much to do sex and dance and that's it. BUT IF we build a nice RP community we could do better and bring in more people and keep them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
