The RP aspect seems to have stuff I was hoping it would.
On  Customizability for RP I would say the game offers a wide variety of support.
Short version.. very supportive of playing an RP character in a rich visual way.
ClassesÂGear
- each character can be all classes, that's 26, so can be very versatile in adapting to a persona
Setting
- Dying is possible for a lot of gear, with a one colour per item, and each item will then apply that according to it's look (each item is often multiple colours/shades)
- Glamoring (or overwriting an items image with another) enables you to look the way you want in any situation
- Outfits (no stat items) are plenty and include things like bathing attire and seasonal looks
- You can dress as a peasant, noble, fantastic-hero, etc.. it is very wide ranging
- Clear/blank items are available so they don't show
Character
- Largely sword and sorcery fantasy
- Guns, flying ships and technology is also present
- The starting areas are western in style and there is the new area now that is eastern
- There is one player faction
- There is no open world PvP
Environment
- Characters are shape wise similar by race, with height being the main difference
- Face/features etc.. can be customized. This is somewhat less than BDO/ESO
- emotes (your character moves) are many and work in a variety of standing/sitting/laying positions
- you can sit on seats and on the floor or anyplace
- you can lay down on specific areas (beds etc..)
- you can swim in some zones
- you can go underwater in some zones
- There are no chat bubbles, all chat is in chat windows, you can 4 chat windows/tabs and they can be filtered
- You can tell/wispier people and join up-to 8 specific chat channels (called linkshells)
I could go on and on
- In the starting area travel is on the ground, in expansion areas flying mounts are available
- Lots of building are closed, but some are open to use for RP
- There is an RP flag you can apply to your name plate
- Dungeons can be used for RP (within the limits of the dungeon)
- Housing works great, except there is not enough of it to go around (biggest flaw imo)
[Edit added extras below]
Extras..
- There are no add on/in programs, in fact they are not allowed
- There is internal macros you can write which can help with combat and crafting. They do get used extensively in RP for performing
- There is a new feature that lets bards play actual notes, so you can play actual music. It cant be macro enabled yet so it is literally playing an instrument
RPC has moved! These pages have been kept for historical purposes
