*A mysterious green box appears covered with bright white question marks.* *When you peek inside the small opening on the top of the box, you find mounds and mounds of folded letters in a space larger than what the outside of the box conveys.*
I thought this would be a good thread to have for anyone with ANY questions at all. It hopefully will serve as a center to get any RP/FFXIV-related questions answered in one location.
As a new roleplayer, naturally I feel nervous and lost currently. I want to get fromÂ
 
 
. So I'll start with 10 of my many questions. (Sorry that there is no order to this. Just kind of blurting out concerns to ensure when I start my character I do it correctly.)
1. What if IC I am supposed to remember something, but OOC I have forgotten. Should I use the (( )) to ask to be reminded, or should I roleplay that my character has forgotten too?
2. What should be the first area to focus on when coming up with a character?
3. As a new roleplayer would it be easier to explain/roleplay the time jump or to be someone who wasn't frozen in time for the five years?
4. What are the Eorzean terms for today, tomorrow, yesterday, height, weight, minutes, seconds, hours(this one is bells correct?), anything else that wouldn't match what you would say in real life?
5. Do you match the time to real life time? Such as if an event was occurring at 8PM east, would you say IC 8 bells? Â
6. How are birthdays handled?Â
7. If my character got into an argument with another should I remind the person OOC that it's strictly IC, and I am not angry with them personally to ensure no unneeded drama occurs?Â
8. Is voice chat required for roleplaying ever? (I've always just typed in mmos. It's what I'm used to and comfortable with for now.)
9. How is gil roleplayed? For example, if someone was putting on a show that cost 50 gil would I actually give away 50 gil or just "/em hands over 50 gil."
10. What's your favorite ice cream flavor? How is running/walking handled? Do you mainly walk and switch to running when the situation calls for it when RPing?
