Ganden Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 (edited) Greetings all, When The Old Republic was announced, the staff at SWTOR-RP thought it appropriate to create hub for roleplayers of the game. Rather than using a simple forum-only concept, SWTOR-RP has been created as a blog and news site with a supporting forum for members to banter with each other. Over time, the site has evolved in a massive way. Our front page houses game news, questions to the roleplaying community, competitions, roleplaying scenarios, columns, plus much more. Our popular articles and columns: Friday FocusCreative SpotlightThe Quick FixCombat AnalysisProgenitor HighlightSWTOR-RP Wiki ProfileRoleplayer's Guide to the GalaxyHoloGossipOver ExposureHoloscopesTaste of the GalaxyHNN Video NewsHoloAdvert (IC guild ads)A Guide to the StarsHunter's DigestNik Nak's WorkshopHeart to Holo: A lover's advice columnVoices of the RepublicThe Upper CrustIn-character reports Furthermore, to support the ever-growing RP community, we've launched our server-specific forums as well. Here is a list with links to each forum: The Ebon HawkBegeren ColonyThe ProgenitorJung Ma Don't forget to visit the front page and our main forum as well. Not enough for you? SWTOR-RP houses its very own Wiki for The Old Republic. There you can use our page generators to create pages for your characters, lore, starships, and even your guilds. Our page is filling up with content, so be sure to add yours as well. Be sure to keep up to date with all the latest RP happenings of The Old Republic by staying tuned to SWTOR-RP. If you have any questions or comments, feel free to PM me either here or on SWTOR-RP. We're also going to be using this thread to update you all with the latest news from the front page. And remember... Your news, your friends, your story, your roleplay at SWTOR-RP.com!

Ganden Posted December 16, 2011 Author Share Posted December 16, 2011 Update: We've announced the winner of our very first competition run on the site. It was quite a success, and we've had some lovely art and written pieces submitted to win a signed copy of The Art and Making of SWTOR. Check out the article here. Sebaya talks about consent and notification in RP situations in an edition of The Darker Side of Life. See what she has to say. Want to know more about the mysterious Keeper? Have a look at our Imperial Profile of one of the most secretive men of the Empire in TOR. We're kicking off in-character columns soon. Be sure to keep an eye out for those Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth_Malady Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 Hey people, http://www.swtor-rp.com is an incredible site for role-players. You dont need to make a personal site for your server, they already did it for you. This site has always been a haven for all of us to gather and share our thoughts an ideas. Keep up the good work, guys and gals! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calix Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 Bumping for great justice, SWTOR-RP has been a wonderful place to hang out and get to know the community pre-launch. Now that the game is finally here, it's just going to get better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ganden Posted December 17, 2011 Author Share Posted December 17, 2011 Does Ven Zallow get a server-specific forum? *sadface* If it's an RP server, sure thing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ganden Posted December 18, 2011 Author Share Posted December 18, 2011 Thanks for the kind words guys. Here's another update: We talk about the "grace period," as well as making mention of a new IC chat room for Lord Adraas and the rest of the RP servers.What do you think of the Legacy System? Let us know in our discussion in an All The Galaxy's A Stage spotlight. We've began the in-character columns at SWTOR-RP! Check out Kit Saren's entry on the Black Sun on Coruscant.

OddjobXL Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 Very slick site. Good folks. Nice forums and articles. Wiki for characters and guilds. I'd say this is a pretty good template for any RP hub site for any MMO in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fodigg Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 I could see this being quite useful if BioWare doesn't soon offer true server forums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ganden Posted December 20, 2011 Author Share Posted December 20, 2011 Launch day is here! Be sure to check out our launch article, as well as the new look to the site, all thanks to one of our members, Sriin. Absolutely amazing work!

Ganden Posted December 28, 2011 Author Share Posted December 28, 2011 Update: Having trouble in SWTOR and need some help? Seek assistance from the SWTOR-RP Roleplay Guides! SWTOR is launching in Australia and New Zealand! As an Aussie myself, I say about bloody time! Hopefully we get a launch event The Darker Side of Life column talks about light vs heavy RP. Which category do you fit into? The Shattered Sun featured in our Guild Spotlight. See what this guild has to offer. Bill Tetley from RHS News reported on the Blight of Ord Mantell Archive week for Force Reflections has kicked off! We pull up some of the oldest questions we've asked the roleplaying community. How much has your view changed over time? Minxsys, one of our members, starred in our Member Spotlight feature. See what this mysterious Imperial Agent has to offer the roleplaying community. Kit Saren from CBNS reported on the Atmosphere of Quesh. Heed his warning! Want your wiki entry to be the featured article for a whole month? See how you can make this happen. SWTOR-RP has teamed up with TOROz with an introduction to roleplay article. Phew! That is all for now. We'll have more updates soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SelinaK Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 (edited) Is there any real serious reason why any of that could not be done here though? It seems silly to encourage people to split up, most people don't have time to follow lots of different forums and this one has an OOC rp section, an events section, an IC roleplaying section, 20+ paid moderators and a fan fiction section, all stuff people in other games would love to have!

We're not a forum. We're a hub. And we offer roleplaying services that cannot be done here. We can't post articles, we can't run a wiki, we can't establish our guides, and we cannot have server-specific forums here The list goes on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTeaSpice Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 I will be sure to check this out. Since Bioware has decided not to have specific server forums, I think it would be easier to see what is going on in the community on each server (and at large) then the way it is here. Not to mention the search button has been down for *maintenance* a little too long for my taste. TheTeaSpice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ganden Posted January 7, 2012 Author Share Posted January 7, 2012 Here are your latest updates from SWTOR-RP: We recently covered an in-game event on the Lard Adraas server. Here is our in-character report from the event: Grand Opening of the Yocola Tonka. If you want an event covered on one of the RP servers, hit my PM box at SWTOR-RP. Sebaya talks about Gray Jedi in an edition of The Darker Side of Life. Don't know what Datacrons are? They'll definitely be of help to you in-game. Check out our coverage here. Check out our Month In Review for December 2011. Can you believe that we posted 70 articles in one month? That's just a little crazy. Our most important update is that of our chat bubbles coverage. Roleplayers suffer significantly when RPing in large groups and in large scale events. The chat box is too hard to follow. We need chat bubbles as a matter of urgency. Check out Beltane's coverage on the lack of chat bubbles, and get amongst the talk. Post your thoughts in our comments section of the article!
