There is a community center in Chamberlain Hills. Currently being worked really hard on by multiple people to get set up and going again. Events for it to draw attention to it are planned in the near future and we really hope it'll take off. As far as I can read, the interest is definitely there so I'm really looking forward to it!

This Hexer is no longer available.

Definitely a good idea to have.

Not a triathlon but, good opportunity to point out the week long summer festival that's organized by LSGOV, cultural affairs with races rallies and shows. They've put a post on it on facebrowser and there have been ads about it in game. It starts on the 26th.

One of my characters had taken in a boy from the south, she ended up adopting him in the end but that's a different story. He had a lot of "bad" friends and drug problems (dealing and using, involved with gangs, etc.) His friends always came over and took over my character's home to hang out. Of course there was some typical teenage dramas going on, plus the fact many of them tried to push against her to test boundaries so it wasn't always polite and respectful, as it shouldn't, but it was really great in regards to the roleplay. It had all been by pure chance and effort to try and find some roleplay for my character in question. I didn't know the person prior to that out of character so nothing was set up but it turned out to be one of the best experiences I've had on the server and we still roleplay together on different characters. Now actually related by blood. So personally, I've had nothing but good encounters on the "older" characters I've had(30+). Get creative, there's more roleplay to be initiated than just in game. I've send IC letters over the forums to a random person to initiate roleplay, I've used posts people put on facebrowser to initiate roleplay. I've leased a property to initiate roleplay. There are options, sure, maybe a bit more effort, but it's really worth it.

I've personally never experienced this as a problem. The characters I roleplay are generally over the age of 30 with a few exceptions. One of my current ones is even 50+ (And yes, also looks like 50+) In my opinion it's very enjoyable to do so. There's a big difference in interaction and how you are treated. I've never been so nicely treated as my 74 yo "aunty" that lived back in the south last year. (apparently gangbangers can be very pleasant and respectful too, who would've known?!) Playing an older character is definitely worth it and more people should do it. Now I do admit, it is sometimes a little difficult to go out and meet people, especially because there are clubs and bars open in the evenings and that's not really a location most would go to at that age. But, if you put in some effort and take your time then you'll have a great time.

I'd love to see more options for the dogs. Though there's still a lot of bugging with the current dog models. Should be fixed first.

This vehicle is now sold.

Family roleplay, totally underrated. It's so much fun to have siblings/cousins/aunts or uncles. It can give a great dynamic. Imagine being an important legal figure but having a little brother/sister that just got arrested with a DUI. 👀 Or a gangbanger with an uncle who is a cop. Possibilities are endless.

Research, definitely that. In my opinion it helps to decide how your character would react in certain situations. If you know what drives your character, why they made the decisions that they have throughout the life it becomes much easier to react in situations where quick responses are required. This doesn't only count for the background of your character, but also as you roleplay. If your character roleplays a lawyer but you out of character don't know the first thing about law, you're not going to have a good time. Know what you roleplay. And I've also learned not to plan too much, you know what direction you would /like/ to see your character go in, but, accept if they don't and follow the logic of a character. I've had several experiences where I genuinely thought certain things would turn out one way, while it ended up completely different.

Variety is always great! Ngl, along with this it would also be great to see the ability to see weather forecasts as an app on your phone or something, so you could actually keep it into account when you go out and plan something.

Cleaning up the anim list would definitely be a good idea. Too many are the same and some don't even work! Got my support!
