I mostly read RPC to pickup information to help learn RP in the FFXIV environment, and get ideas on how to develop a character in said environment. Â I keep seeing the word "immersion" pop up in threads. Â My exposure to RP in the past always treated the character as being a separate entity/avatar.
Am I just misunderstanding the context and avatar / immersion are the same thing?
If they are separate:
How do you create the line between IC and OOC if you are truly "immersed"?
Do you play in 1st person view to maintain your immersion?
Do you declare that you are "immersed" to others during RP interactions, or is it something participants should just pick up on?
Is the etiquette for interacting with an "immersed" player/character different than the etiquette for interacting with an avatar?
