Social Hubs?

New the game, this is actually the very first time I've been able to make my own thread.

Where can I interact with other players? Do people gather in any particular places? Is there any RP in this game?

Romulan, around 28th level, so I know I've still got a way to go.

    Well, it depends.

    Earth Spacedock and Qo'nos First City are the primary hubs for everything on each side.

    Only issue is ESD zone chat tends to go down the "stupid/crazy" route. You know, the kind of conversations you don't have out loud in public.
    Everywhere I look, people are screaming about how bad Cryptic is.
    What's my position?

    That's an issue with this game. It is so instanced.

    Deep Space 9 is another significant hub besides ESD & Qonos.

    Drozana is also a hub... one of the primary places for RPers, or "RP"ers, or whatever it is they do there.

    I think Risa is going to be another "RP" hub for Fed because MMORPG (many men online roleplaying girls).

    Once you get high enough level, then the "bigger" zones open up... the Voth & Undine battlezones allow for more cooperative gaming on a bigger scale than the small time STFs.

    I see many RPers on my friends list go to Risa. I personally stick to private instances (my starbase or starship) with a select group of friends for RPing, but my outdated information would say to check out Quark's Bar on DS9 or Risa.

    If your looking to RP, try the SB381 Chat channel, Asking for an invite there can get you onto a Fleet Starbase map where people are RPing.

    I haven't used it lately but if they are still offering the invites thats a good place to go, since people there are open to socialising, its why they are there

    ESD and Qo'nos for each faction including allied romulans. For cross faction there's mainly Deep Space Nine and Drozana Station (first one is way more populated as far as I can tell, and Drozana's full of players doing missions, has random devidians showing up, lacks Shipyard as well). Then there are Deep Space K-7 (chat there is dead because it's full of newcomers that are unable to use zone chat) and Ganalda Station.

    (many men online roleplaying girls)
    Rule to follow: 90% of female characters are guys. If the female is showing cleavage, wearing skin-tight, or near nude, that is a guy. The less and less the female is wearing, the closer to absolute nude the female is, the younger and younger that guy (that boy) is. :rolleyes:

    And if it ain't a guy, then she's probably not into guys.

    I personally haven't seen any RP outside Drozona station and that was kind of questionable. Questionable as in I assumed something I probably didn't want to know about was going on with all the orion girls dancing on table tops. That was also before the revamp. It might have changed since then.

    I'm a long time table-top role-player but I've never done much in the MMO arena outside light IC chatting and story writing among close friends. That means I'd consider myself very much a beginner and have no idea how a part-time player like me would break into it or even what roleplay means in a mostly-static MMO environment.

    But thanks for the Praetorian link. I may try to see if they are still active.

    My rule to follow - don't make ANY assumptions about the player based on what you see in the character. Maybe you can guess and maybe not but why take the chance or even care?
