Yea, all the above is great advice.  Just do stuff in game and if it fails miserably it is something to laugh about over a drink in Kada-El's.  I have had some stupid mistakes in RP, talking to someone who I thought was something else, giving them a hard time about it.  Opps.  You can look me up in game (Amiraa) I'm happy to RP and my character is looking for others to talk to.  I'm stuck in Kada-El's for now due to computer issues (stupid bad graphics card on this loaner) so feel free to look me up sometime there.

The best way to get good RPing in is to go and do stuff.  Find something you like and go with it.  The more you do it the better you will get.  Practice makes Perfect, right?

It's the server.  The lag is unbelievable.
