' Wrote:Gallia is the only place in Sirrius where a revolution may occur, this is amazing material for RP. A place where things have gotten so bad for people that they have turned against their government and not only that but some are so loyal and faithful that they are willing to kill their own people, brother killing brother, sister killing sister, etc...

Gallia has a unique RP, it has been isolated for so long that anything could happen when any gallic faction encounters a sirrian. It is a place where you can start building RP from the ground up.

Now that I have stated everything you know already time to move on to what I rally think you want to know about, the players there and how fun they are to play with and the OORP-ness. In terms of the players those committed to RP are truly amazing. I have had many GRN/Council arguments about the validity of our respective causes that were simply great. They referenced historical events in Gallia and spoke of everything that was happening now as well, just great.

In terms of friendliness, after most battles I have had friendly OOC PM's, so thats good.

In terms of population, yes, it is less compared to other areas in the game, though it is starting to at least be able to rival Kusari in terms of average player population. Just today there were two GR cruisers and a bunch of fighters in Dauphine. I was even helping someone rep for an IDF character.

About the OORP ness. Yes it is there. Yes it is more than most places, other than liberty perhaps. Right now people who know enough about gallic RP and respect it are either playing a character there or dont visit there because their characters wouldnt be going there this early. We get a fair amount of traders who come in from sirrius and think it is perfectly fine to fly past big GRN battleships that in RP would be blowing them up. We stop them, give them an education and turn them around. Now that the population has been increasing as more and more want to try Gallia interdiction is occurring more regularly and I think the word will spread quickly.

As for Gallic players being OORP. I haven't seen too much of this personally. Like you I have heard about it on the forums but all of these occurrences that have happened so far are being ironed out like wrinkles, most are willing to listen to reason when it comes to varying opinions on Gallic RP as it is something new that we all have to adjust to and expand upon.

Honestly, I love Gallia, the relationships are so complex and everyone wants a little piece. It is somewhat like Kusari in terms of genearl atmosphere, except there is less hate, more factions that disagree work together and people are more persuadable.

Currently 3 out of my 10 chars, and 3 out of the 5 that I most regularly play are Gallic. I am thinking about making more as well.

Plus I've heard it's about as oorp as New York in the days when the damage was turned off... *shudders*

As for what Gallia is like for outsiders... I should have thought it would be an incredibly short and painful experience once the GRN track them down.

' Wrote:To be honest, those news articles are absurd. Every single base in Sirius has 'NEW HOUSE UNVIELED' screaming from it's news screens, even from factions that have no right to know. All they are is a oorp vehicle to spread the knowledge that Gallia around.
