Which Defiant RP guilds are still active, and actively RPing?

[Jaydhe]

In the last few months, a lot of shifting around has gone on with Rift and RP on the shard: Guilds have started, others have closed their doors, and some have transferred to Faeblight. This list is not all-inclusive, but thus far, this is the list of DEFIANT RP guilds still around and RPing that I could find, and verify. Please feel free to add to the list, or make corrections!

I know this may not have been your intent, but thanks for the resource! My partner and I have been thinking "We could really use a guild" lately. Now I know which ones are active!

[Edit] And after going over all of those guild websites... @.@ I wish some of them were more explicit as to what their guild is! Looks like I'll be trying to contact folks in game for questions..

[Jaydhe]

No, providing it as a resource was exactly the point. My original guild collapsed with the advent of SW:TOR, and when I went guild hunting, I found more confusion than I found information. I figured... if I have been on this server and RPing practically since launch, and I am struggling, others must be too :-). SO I decided to share what I found.

Thanks a lot for this. I'm a returning player and I'm desperately in need of good rp. I was seeking info and poof! here it is!

[Jaydhe]

I would suggest coming to an open RP event to meet the RPers on the shard. Each guild has its own flavor, and its hard to sum up what amounts to a question of the personalities, in a guild charter. Do you want a guild that has its own deep story-lines, or a guild that hangs out and goes with the flow of the individual's story-lines? Do you want a guild with a lot of structure with ranks and titles, or a guild where everybody is an equal? Do you want a guild that RP's in open spatial chat preferably, or one that RP's in party chat? Do you want a guild whose members are always IC, or who talk more OOC with occasional RP? The only way to find out these and many more questions is to meet people and see, more or less, who you fit with.

Here is a list of open events....

Just a note, the PV website works best if you just go to www.phoenix-vanguard.com instead of directly to our forums. That has our backstory and application info.

Thanks for all your hard work on this, Jaydhe! I've added a bunch of guilds to the Faeblight Inn roleplay friendly guild listings, mostly gathered from the boards here.

Your list may be a bit out of date, but I thought this was very useful for anyone looking for an RP guild.

I saw yesterday a new rp guild announcing itself. The name is Requiem of the Machine. Unfortunately I don't have any more info about them. Don't know if they have a website either.

I'm not sure if anybody will ever see my post in the LF Guild thread in the Defiant Guilds sub-forum, so I thought I'd post this here in case anybody could help me.

My partner and I have pretty well-established stories for our primary characters that, from what I've read of the guilds in the list above, simply wouldn't mesh with their lore - feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. So I guess what I'm wondering is if there is a roleplay-supportive guild that allows (or is based around) players whose characters may or may not actually know those of the rest of the guild ICly? With the guild acting as more of an OOC tag than anything.

I'm not sure if I'm explaining myself properly. Basically, we really want to find a home (after playing for over a year, it's getting a bit lonely with just the two of us, and as we recently hit level 50 we realized just how little we understand of this game and where to go from there!) for our characters but not at the price of having to completely re-do our IC history. :S

I'll be asking around in the OOC RP chat later tonight, but I figured it doesn't hurt to post here either..

This is a great question! Jaded Court sees itself both as a guild and as a coalition, folks outside the guild are welcome to join in our story-lines, etc. I don't know that we would have something like an "associate" rank. I will talk to Shyn about it. In the meantime, feel free to join our "OOC" channel to hang out. (type /join JCooc ) Or message us in game :-)

Thanks for the info! I will look for them and see if they have a website they would like listed.

I think Faeblight is full of RPers who would RP more if they had people to RP with. Finding a guild-home for RP has kept me playing Rift much moreso than the content. How much fun is the content anyhow without people to share it with?

Thank you very much! My partner and I should be on tonight for the story telling event - we'll make sure to join the channel and say hi!

For todays event.... all Immortal Rose events are GMT-8... somebody besides the chica with chemo brain should determine what time that is server time :-) Hope to see you there. At the right time-ish!

I think the thread detailing all the February events placed that at 9 server.

It's confusing, with all the time zones xD I'm trying to "monitor" a few guilds I think I might like but will choose depending if the majority of the members play at the same time as me. Otherwise it'll be pointless; I'd be guilded but still playing alone.
