Revision as of 22:22, 5 February 2010

Those who seek to participate in Eve's active role playing community have several options. They may post on the official forums in the Intergalactic Summit section. They can join a RP corporation or alliance. Or they can seek out any number of player-run chat channels designated for RP. The purpose of this page is to catalog and list those channels.

Of course, it's always better if you can back up your words in space!

Based partly on the work of Kai Zion at eve-chatsubo.com.

General Purpose Channels

General Roleplay | Non Factional | "Other"

The Summit

The Summit is arguably the most popular and frequented roleplay channel. It regularly hosts a wide variety of personalities, drawn from across many of the organizations in New Eden. Conversation varies from day to day, and as it is basically something of a mirror of the Forum-based roleplay channel the Intergalactic Summit, there is often various topics being discussed. Run partly in conjunction with the organizers of The Chatsubo ( http://eve-chatsubo.com ), a popular OOC forum for a part of the RP community. )

La Maison De Tous Les Plaisirs

One of the more famous bars of Eve’s long roleplay history. Watering hole of the Free Captains and revolutionaries in Star Fraction.

The Three Sisters

Occupying the second-to last deck of the Jel VI station, a non-affiliated bar for anyone to come to and relax at.

FreeIntaki

An open channel managed mostly by the Intaki Liberation Front and visited by friends on various sides, where the talk includes general discussion as well as the pet topics, the state and security of the Placid region and the Intaki Secessionist movement.

Pirate Factions

The Last Gate

A bar run by the notorious pirate corporation Veto, though open to anyone who follows the rules of the house. The principle of neutral ground is enforced - violence on the premises will result in a swift eviction by the bar security.

The Skyhook

Run by Omerta Syndicate, an organization founded by Caldari dissidents. The Skyhook has lately expanded into a nightclub chain featuring drinks, music and dancing; the main location is situated in the Lai Dai Protection Service station at the 2nd moon of Airkio VII. The Skyhook does not have the virtual reality interfaces frequently used in other locales, so attendees must visit in person, on their own or by Interbus.

Caldari Faction

Heiian College

Public channel of the Heiian Society, the purpose of this channel is many fold. Heiian Society members will try their best to answer questions you have concerning Caldari culture, politics, pod pilot corporations, and any Heiian sponsored events. General discussion conerning the Caldari is also encouraged. (Heiian Society)

Tea House

A massive wooden floor austerely decorated in Caldari fashion, with some heavy concrete vases here and there holding kresh branches. There are some tatamis lying on the floor for the guests to sit on. The feeling of austerity is reinforced by the sound of deep solemn drums played by a hidden sound system. A hanging scroll displays an exquisite calligraphic work that reads: "True tea is made with water drawn from the depths of mind". (Link)

Gallente Faction

Lei Weichi Teahouse

A formal Jin-Mei run establishment decorated in traditional ethnic fashion, complete with a VIP section that offers capsuleers considerable privacy should they require it.

Crystal Boulevard Mall

A multi-storied mall, located on the Crystal Boulevard in Caille and a great place to socialize and shop. Especially shop; if you can't find it on the Crysyal Boulevard, you probably can't find it andwhere.

The Athena

Decked with proudly hung flags and decor evoking the Gallente pre-industrial era, The Athena tends to be frequented most by Gallente of a patriotic bent. A public watering hole run by a pro-Fed organization. Its multiple physical locations within Federation space are networked by holographic projectors: wholly virtual access is also available.

Minmatar Faction

Amarr Faction

Out of Character Discussion

OOC

The official companion channel to The Summit and the default for other public RP areas such as The Last Gate. You are welcome to idle here even if not in The Summit, as many people do. Usually just as busy, if not busier, than The Summit. It’s like an in-game channel version of The Chatsubo.

Corporation and Alliance Public Channels

These channels are open to the public but tend to be more focused on affairs relating to the channel host and populated by corp members, close friends, diplomats and would-be recruits.
