  1. @[Verad] ( I don't know if tagging works the same here... ) Rhydin. Talk about a blast from the past. I know exactly what you're talking about - I cut my teeth on the old AOL chat rooms. Anyways! I'm actually really surprised that a roll system is used for combat at all, considering we're in a game. I suppose it makes sense when you're playing a character that doesn't fall into a traditional Job/Class. I think I just expected that if things went down, it'd be a right-click, challenge to normal match and go ham on one another. My personal opinion is that narrative is the way to go, but I play tabletops (dnd 5e and whitewolf ) and can enjoy dice rolls when appropriate. The only kicker is a way to show acquired skill, etc., which inherently unbalances a system. So. Sideways.
  2. Thanks for the warm welcome! I suppose, to start, my biggest question is the how? I am used to there being an overarching plot, or at least something similar, for everyone to have hooks in. But it seems that everything is kind of 'make your own way' here. As such, it's kind of overwhelming, and I'm never sure who's toes I might be stepping on. How do you generally dive in without drowning? Or worse, cracking your neck on the bottom?
  3. Y'ello, future friends and compatriots! I've been lurking since Stormblood came out and Mateus became a hotspot for RP. I've been RPing for a good majority of my life at this point, primarily on forums, though I'm a sucker for pen and paper RPGs. I have about 1029 questions, and I've been perusing all the lore and character development forums and not quite finding what I'm looking for. Once I have it, I may turn it into a helpful little guide, because... that's what I do for a living. The exciting world of technical manuals. Anyways, that aside, I was curious as to whether I can just dump all my questions here, or if I should start small and drop things in place? I have the beginnings of a character written up, I'm just worried about all the things that may come with translating from play by post to MMO. I joined the Mateus discord, and had a small conversation, but I'm a bit... hesitant to just start throwing questions at strangers in a non-forum fashion, you know? Ah well. Hopefully I will see a bunch of you out there!
