While playing on my alt, there were a couple of times where a lalafell walked up trying to RP but was shot down pretty quickly just for being a lalafell. Myself while playing a lalafell have felt this. Either it be me walking introducing myself then being hugged. Or myself trying to start RP only to be ignored or be called popoto or potato ic... My character brushes it off, but ooc I feel excluded from RP just because of my race choice.
I also want to recount a tale, it was about a year ago, I created a lalafell alt. The tale was a serious one, people did take it seriously. The Lalafell was a five year old girl, (Already in that stereotype there) however, she had been abandoned and left in Ul'dah to fend for herself. It was a little more of an experiment on how a child like this would be treated and react to people and RP and such. Even if the RP left me feeling depressed. The people that took it all seriously were amazing. Not one person judged the small child, or tried to do something immature with her. They all attempted to try and find a place for the girl to stay. She eventually was taken to the flames, and wasnt seen again, but it showed me that RP can come in any way and form, that people are very open to these experiences.
But now, I want to add. Over the past year since that happened the community has changed. I am sure if I did this again. The results would come out much different.
