Quote:I thought so too! I was lurking a bit, reading some plots and threads. Everyone is so nice. It's a personal flaw. I can't help but feel that when someone says I'm fine or doing ok that it's just to placate me. That and I'm worried that my lack of being able to think on the fly easily will help. I really love substantial planning. I can work with a general plotline or idea of where to go but not having a general thing makes me so very lost..
I've had lots of fun with just random Lalafell emoting and such last night. My friend and I saw some Lalafell in Revenant's Toll while I waited to do Garuda HM for my main's relic. We ended up starting a line of Lalafell sitting on a ledge and also calling a Lalafell general meeting with an agenda of how to maximize the amount of cuddles Lalafell get. Another lalafell joined in on the conversation.Â
I prefer planning too, but sometimes random and spontaneous RP is a lot of fun. One thing that has helped me is bringing a friend along to a place where random RP happens. That way, you get the support of having someone who you planned to RP with, and can combine it with the possibility of random people joining in. I also feel braver when I have a friend with me.
The hardest thing to learn is indeed how to think on the fly because it requires practice. Just take your time with it. No good RPers would rush you. If you have a long response you want to type, send a tell to the person before doing so. Say something like "my next post might be long, need a min." You'll get the hang of it.

Well, when it comes to the RPers in this game, we all play on unofficial RP servers. This means a lot of players are not RPers. With some trolls (that don't understand RPers) running around, we all need to stick together, and are often reminded of the beauty of tolerance.
Quote:I'll try and keep a lookout! I think most of the real substantial RPing I'll be doing will be focused in the Ul'dah area.
Kiht is ICly from the Black Shroud. I RP a lot in Gridania. However, Kiht takes IC expeditions to Ul'dah sometimes. Hopefully, I'll see you on sometime soon.
Happy Hunting!
