How do you show to others, that you at the moment are OOC and thus not roleplaying?Â
I'm personally not a full-time roleplayer - and so I am not IC all the time, I have much more time OOC where I do stuff like crafting and pve, often standing in places/cities my character wouldn't be in at that moment in time in their RP.Â
It would never make sense for my character to do -everything- icly, so that's the way I have been managing things in all MMORPG's I've been in.
Recently however, I have been approached -a lot- by people icly even though I am OOC. I always personally assume that people who are 100% decked up in class/craft gear and are standing in areas that aren't obvious RP hubs as being OOC. Especially if someone is standing near the market boards, I'd never assume them to be IC unless I saw them walking and talking.Â
And it's getting to me a bit because I don't want to have my character icly associated with being places she hasn't been, just because someone else was ooc and they saw her.. I know situations like that can be solved easily by saying to the person you are not IC, but there are times where I wouldn't notice because I'm tabbed out or on a brb - not to mention people might simply see her in the world somewhere and presume she was there icly without making contact.Â
So that is why I am asking the above question. In other games there are addons who can do the job for you, by giving you the ability to set your status as OOC to everyone else with that addon, but no such thing exists for this game yet.Â
It's something that I imagine wouldn't be the biggest problem to have, but if there was anything additionally I could do to further signal that I am OOC, then I would.
