Hey there, and welcome aboard the RPC!Â Thumbsup

Going down the list...

With real time movement comes real time interactions. However, most people will generally give some leeway for others to have time to respond, but exchanges can be pretty rapid in some cases. If you're a slow typer, you'll learn to type fast in short order! You can mix and match /say, /emote, and actual emote animations in any way you'd like to, really; there's no real set standard. RP in this environment is very much an always-on deal- it's a persistent world, so character stories continue to develop even when you're offline.Â
You can choose between the two, really. There's no real standard; some people prefer railroaded character development, whereas others prefer to live totally IC and let whatever happen, happen. It may vary between the groups you roll with, too.Â
Personally I evolve Kasi's wiki over time as she develops and just continually update it as her story moves forward. Still, there are people who throw a pretty general wiki up and leave it at that- there's no set standard here either!

MMO RP is a competely different level of immersion compared to forum RP. With MMO RP you enter into what is essentially a living, breathing world, where you are one writer among thousands, helping to pen what is essentially a community-wide story. There are protagonists, antagonists, and just innocent bystanders all. You are venturing into a world all its own, pretty much! So, to prevent feeling overwhelmed, it helps to have a general idea of where your character wants to go- a specific niche, if you will. For instance, would they join a clan? How about a merchant company? Are they interested in knowledge seekers, or treasure hunters? Or maybe they err into the dark side, and would run with the mob?

Choose your niche, and write your own destiny!
