If I spend time typing a long emote, it will often be superseded by someone else's actions or not even noticed at all in the flurry of speech scrolling past. My emotes therefore tend to be less detailed and to the point, instead using dialogue to bring life to my characters. However, this doesn't seem to be the case with many people here on the RPC.
Should I try to use more detailed emotes in this game? I'm rather out of practise to be honest after years of keeping them short and sweet but I don't want anyone to write me off as "less of an RPer" because I don't do lengthy emotes. Not that I think most people from the RPC will do that of course, as you all seem quite friendly and open, but it's an attitude I've come across from some RPers in other games before.
I think it's more of a 'situation calls for' thing. I tend to favour long winded emotes, but if it's a fast paced back and forth, I'll stick to shorter responces to keep up with the flow. That said, I'm also a rather fast typer, so usually I can push out a paragraph before people can push out a sentence.Â
I'd say stick to what you're comfortable with! No one is going to think of you as 'less of an RPer' it's all about quality, not quantity.... I just try to execute both. I'M SO GREEDY~
