Thread: Re: Roleplaying in the Game

From what I know Mateus was a very popular RP server.

It's something I've wanted to try but haven't ever gotten around to.

I like to dress the part of my job, use emotes to display my desires and emotions in parties, and I generally speak from my character's point of view in content so I guess I role-play but that is about the extent of it. I heard Balmug has role-play and it just reopened. The way you worded your question though were you perhaps looking for an rp linkshell?

That's the extent of my role-playing as well. While not extensive role-play, you can look at it as I am perpetually in this state when I am online, and it's actually weird to me when people start talking about RL situations via chat. For me, the typical out-of-character chat is usually still related to the game. This could be frustrations with RNG, or a DF group, to informing the FC about their current progress with a goal they have.

I tend to get into character when progressing the MSQ, or anything of strong significance such as the quest lines involved with raids, or job quests. If you start talking bills and kids, I will usually remain silent. I don't log into the game to deal with adult schite.

I don't "speak in character" but otherwise, I do that too.

I also like to emote at NPCs or locations when it seems appropriate. Bowing to important people, 'paying respects' to the dead.... it just feels right for the story and my character.

(A lot of extra dialogue goes on in my head as well, anything from talking to shopkeepers to important emotional moments.)

Recently I added a mender to my house who will do an eastern bow every time I pass her. I feel obligated to bow in return every time and it's pretty funny because she bows a lot!
