After attending my second GC meeting I find myself wondering why it is I put myself out to turn up.
In answer to my question, its because I want to be involved in the community and belive that the RP brings another interesting aspect to the gaming world of AO. I though that by attending the GC meetings I would get a better insight as to how the RP side of the game is developing.
But
I'm sorry to say that the GC meetings don't seem to be very newcomer RP friendly. First topics seem to head straight into a storyline that has been developed over the course of the AO RP history, and so therefore, would be complete jibberish to said newcomer.
Might I make a suggestion tho those that promote the GC meeting, that it may start off in a more welcoming introduction; topics that newcomers may be interested in, then later on progress on to the deeper storylines. This way I feel that the RP community would entice more newcomers and get them more involved in the meetings; even bring in fresh ideas that would help improve the current RP status. For example: new stories / events etc.
I hope this is not taken badly in anyway, but as I sat there, I felt completely and utterly out of depth, and had no input whatsoever, thus making me wonder why I should bother turning up for the next.
This is not a bash... just an outlook from an RP newcomer who would like to be more involved.
I'm not the only one out there
