Who loves to RP? What kind of question is that? The answer is so obvious...everyone! ...minus everyone who plays WoW...and EQ2...and all other graphical MMOs. I never break character when I'm in game unless it's on an OOC channel or in private convo with people I know. Even then I keep it to...

Heh, yeah, I'm in CA, but I'm a huge fan of British humor. The UAG is basically a fantasy version of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (which just happens to be my favorite book). Uses the same humor, entries are written in the same way...and it's a blast to RP. Not sure if you ever found...

Haha, if you haven't noticed the majority of the UAG is corny :) Flock of Peasants is a great name for a a band too, but the Flock of Seagulls don't really strike me as the peasant type. They seem like they'd be more prissy and rich. Ya know, all the bright colors and glamour hair :) Here are...

I guess I'm lucky I'm free to do whatever I want at work...which includes playing EQ2, CoH/V, and Hero's Journey when it comes out. In fact, the majority of my playing comes during the 6 hours I play at work.

Heh, ok I'll work on a Flock of Seagulls parody. What about a band name for them? I was thinking something Heard of Cattle or some other Elanthian specific animal. I also made a bluegrass band called the Swampmoss Bogbottoms. Once I find out the culture of the Elanthian cities I'll be able to...

It's brilliant for anyone who doesn't want to get caught with progs installed at work hehe or school. As of yet I haven't had any firewalls block it like they would normal chat progs.

That said, I will bring you to the point of this post. In addition to comical songs writen and performed by quirky, oddball characters, the UAG is also creating numerous "serious" bands. The lyrics will be tailored specifically for the world of Elanthia (using its lore, locations, happenings...

Gotta love Meebo! Great for those people who are on comps that don't have their favorite chat prog installed (ie: at work, whatever). Just go to www.meebo.com and you can do it all from there. I love it so much I haven't even bothered to install my AIM, MSN, Yahoo, Trillian, etc on my new...

Yar, I usually write pretty complex plotlines between my characters and avoid all the cliche "fantasy" stories. I do keep a main, but I switch to and from regularly to spread the tails and get each character known. But most all of my characters have a "more than meets the eye" sort of thing...

Powergamer is a word that will surely NEVER be associated with my style of play. RP all the way. I could literally sit in the game for 12 hours and not even earn 1exp. My goal is 100% social with the plan to give depth to the game and make an experience unique for the people around me...

Heck, I live in CA where it's not uncommon for guys to either dress like girls or inspire to be them. Besides, real men can wear pink! And to contribute to the topic: Please, for the love of all things Weezer, give me a Worms MMO!! Long live Worms!! As goofy as that sounds it'd be one fun...

I wouldn't be surprised if there was some sort of Destroy All Humans sort of MMO in the works. But I'm thinking it will be an original title. I hope they don't do a friggin new Star Wars MMO. I could stand for an original space MMO, but I'm so sick of Star Wars. I could go for a Hitchhiker's...

They'd be up sooner, but I'm having to work around the audio programs I'm using. A couple that I used before aren't suported for Windows Vista, which I'm running now. Just have to get new versions and I should be fine. To me Leet speak is any slang, acronyms, numbers, modern day speach, etc...

Yes, I like the idea of actually keeping your gear to. You'll get a sense that it is more "yours" and not just barrowed for a time. Half of the time I didn't even worry about questing for an item that I knew would be useless in a couple levels anyway. It makes this a lot more personal. I just...

Here are just a few upcoming songs for the UAG2E. Keep in mind they are all written from an in-character perspective. 1: What the hell, WTH is LOL? aka I.Y.C.S.I.W (if you can't speak in words) than S.T.F.U (making fun of leet speach and how common acronyms have becom in MMOs) sample lyrics...
