I think the only active one is Dragonmount. But I would not be adverse to getting Towers going again. You know Artur, you were the first person I ever sparred against in CoL Artur. It was awesome!

Ah I was worried you'd say that... I don't like it as much, its not as organized as CoL was; it seem to me like the RPs lack any large scale direction. And frankly just reading the names 'Brom' and 'l'Given' and seeing Tim's picture gives me a hearty dose of nostalgia And I do remember that, it was the first rping of any sort I'd ever done!

Hi Artur! How's it going? Man, looks like someone's getting the band back together with all these old faces! I'd love for there to be some RPing going on loosely tied to GoS again like there was back in the old CoL days. Might even bring me out of RP-retirement. Don't have the time or energy manage it myself though. I'm hoping to get things more clan related in GoS again. Nowadays most clans are just 1-2 actual players and their alts. When I reset the test site next I think I might try something more drastic to spur more diverse clans....

Yeah its funny this topic is so recent, just last night I got the urge to seek everyone out, and a long string of googling led me here ! I don't suppose the old City of Light is still up? I realize its all locked, but I'd really like to just read through the site again...

I really thought the best part of the CoL at the beginning was it's connection with the game. It made you play the game to gain levels and wins to get your rank higher, and in turn you'd to RP to make the most out of those wins! I need to start RP'ing again! Artur, is that really you

Well it could be me. Or it could be one of those nefarious Artur impersonators that run rampant on the internet! I guess we'll never know, will we?

I only found CoL because I tried to join the BT in GoS and they said I had to join in CoL first. Then I kind of got lost in CoL and before I knew it I was M'hael. Been M'hael so long now I can't imagine not being M'hael lol. Towers is dead and I really have very little desire to breath life into it again. But I would not be adverse to running a BT clan in a CoL like RP situation again. I'll bet we could get Anlear and Kalle and Ghent and everyone from the old crew involved again too lol!

Ah well in my opinion that would be beyond fantastic, but would it work with the number of people who would be likely to participate? I mean I have no idea how many people wouldn in fact be interested, but it seems to me that there is a reason that the CoL eventually failed (I'm assuming that had to do with lack of activity resulting in the stagnation of the roleplay, though I could be completely mistaken on that front) and if that problem is still present, any attempts at recreating it would result in similar failure (not that I think it was by any means a failure, I loved it there!) All that being said I would be delighted to help such an endeavor in any way possible, and would be thrilled to see the idea become reality.

Best thing we could do is make GOS a bigger success. Get more players involved and you're bound to get more rp'ers.
I would guess that the reason CoL failed was because after it was deleted some people couldnt find it, some people didn't want to start from scratch and some of us who were leaders (I'd put myself as enemy number one on this) were too busy doging to try and make it work.
The reason I found CoL was because I was in the Forsaken, had a 'couple' of alts. Infiltrated different clans, they all had vault characters. Gained trust and took over the vault character and took what was worthwhile. I liked it in the city of light clans. But then if I remember rightly I basically started mugging one of the Storm Legions guys who was at a lower level than me. Then I think Easar got involved and then Harold. Harold convinced me to stop and join the Storm Legion, then convinced me to join the CoL, then to give up my alts. Quite impressive of him really!

Artur! I've missed you out here! (And thanks for the compliment - I always tried to be a peacemaker and keep everybody happy in my own small way)... As to RP'ing: I think it really does come down to GoS itself - I personally only started RP'ing because I was involved with CoL, which came only from being involved with GoS. So, I'd have to say that when it happens it will be an outgrowth of activity in the game itself. Hopefully this little discussion will help encourage that. (And Tim, whatever you're trying, it sounds like an exciting opportunity)
