It's a legitimate question, and the first time I played, I genuinely disliked the game, and was only here for rps (hence my ultra-slow leveling).

It just raises a concern in me that mmo communities are no place for casuals. I feel like I'm breaking my back already trying to get caught up in PvE, let alone RP, and it's just extremely overwhelming at times. I think I've just got to accept that mmo rp is not the correct realm for me, and stick to my smaller groups.
Thanks for the viewpoints on this all. Much appreciated <3
It's not too tricky. Time between patches is 3 months, and the time to complete MSQ patch increments is measured in hours.Â
That being said, I do believe that there should be a certain 'grace period' in public RP locations like the Quicksand where people are discretionary about plot reveals out in the open.I'm a bit of a 'special' case. (though not a special snowflake!)
You also took a massive break from playing for a while, hon.
Also, please don't take this the wrong way as I don't mean this as harshly as it might come off, but if you have so little time that you can't tackle the MSQ - is it really worth paying the monthly subscription? Â I've always felt that if the game itself doesn't interest you enough where you actually want to play it, it would be much cheaper to just find a chat/tumblr/skype/forum-based RP community to engage in as it would be way more flexible, easier to tailor to your needs, and also free.
This time around, I'm actually enjoying the game quite a lot. To the point that I find myself rping less and less. However, the MSQ thoroughly bores me, as does much of the lore. That isn't to say that I set out to make lore-breaking characters, on the contrary, I try to adhere to as much of it as possible. But it does mean during my game time I'm much more likely to run dungeons or do challenge log, and stay as many malms away from questing as possible because... they just aren't fun to me
. I skip the cutscenes almost universally, and rush through them merely to progress my character and open up more content.So to see that the community is revolving around the MSQ I guess was a bit of a wake-up call, that my lack of interest in the MSQ and its associated lore will limit my rp opportunities.
