Miqo'te master race. *cough*
It can definitely be pretty overwhelming versus forum RP. The biggest difference is that in an MMO, you're now a part of a living, breathing world. When you're offline, the stories are still in motion and the characters are still developing. This brings the world into a life of its own, of course, though it can be a little overwhelming if you don't have a lot of time to commit (if you're away for a month you can come back to some pretty drastic changes).Â
Regardless, once you have a good feel for the character you'd like to use most, you can use the Making Connections forum here on the RPC to hit the ground running! Best of luck over on Mateus!
Oh yes, I used to RP in-game in WoW all the time, mainly because I had a few addons that made it much easier for me to manage (like a notepad that would let me type up and see my entire reply in one space, and a 'no text limit' chatbox). But no other game I play has such intricate control over how emote actions are performed and displayed in the chatbox itself, and having to use appropriate emotes for actions was always something I hated, since I would always have to look up what commands did what.
And yep, I work 40+ hours a week, 5~6 days a week, so my free time is quite limited. Another reason I feel intimidated, since most people seem to want to RP in-game, and I'd rather get things done with what little time I have to play. At least with skype/discord, I can reply at work and when I'm generally not in-game or even anywhere near my computer, but using IMs seems to turn a lot of people off (at least, that's how it is with the GW2 scene).
And the Miqo'te are just so cute. There's always that one race I gravitate to; In SWTOR it was cyborgs, in WoW it's blood elves, in GW2 it's sylvari. I guess it's because I'm a cat person lol
