Its a little different. Aside from a few extra rules and need to know things, its generally the same as a forum RP.
Ahh, I see. I take it can pick those up from the stickies?

I have yet to run into any extra rules that differed one iota from the rules I played with on FRC or CD in NWN.  So I think you probably already know them.

But I'm kinda curious about these extra rules myself.  Maybe I've been violating them all this time?  Surprise

What are some of the differences if I could ask?

Welcome!

Rules are pretty much the same as always; ya can check stickies, but sounds like you're already familiar. And if you're not sure how it's supposed to turn out (combat rp comes to mind, since people have different views), just shoot the person a tell & work it out together.

On that note, feel free to shoot me a /tell or approach in game!

There not really so much as actual rules but more of lore and story friendly stuff that I had explained to me a while back when I was setting up my character wiki. Generally, there are certain roles that cant be filled in by the writers, such as being one of the warriors of light from 1.0 that participated in the battle of Carteneau, or being a Crystal Bearer who led the charge into the Pretorium in 2.0 and slew Giaus and the Ultima weapon. general story specific things that people tend to avoid or outright consider not to play the role as all together. I specifically dont know the reason why though but ive pretty much played and built my RP character around this knowledge, and then again, these are just a few of the side rules that arent considered rules but sub rules that people frown upon if violated. not that I expect them or anyone to enforce them but the rules I mention are just general character rules lore wise as well as story initiative wise and whatnot. Players have to be careful as to how they tread, since a lack of lore for this game leaves alot of stuff up in the air and when developers come out with new lore and content, this content may conflict with player lore and the entire RP just kinda falls apart when their cannon is broken, unless the RP is centered around broken cannon, then nothing is broken I guess.

Sorry that the post is in a clump.    ._.

None of this really differs from NWN, unless you were playing on a server with extremely lax rules. :-P

Still, I generally wanted to make this a point as these are need to know things specific to FFXIV, not all RP in general, but I digress.
