Hello\Introduction
« on: January 27, 2015, 05:45:53 pm »
Hello everyone
I'm tim31.  I'm new here.  Sorry if I am posting this in the wrong place.  If there is a better place to post this, please let me know.
I have just finished the tutorial in PlaneShift.  My character's name is Irego Laquy.  I can't tell you much about him because I don't know very much about him myself.  If you see him ingame, feel free to say hello in ICC or OOC.  I might not be ingame all the time, but I will try to be ingame when I am able to be.
I don't talk very much.  I have always been this way.  It makes it hard to be the character in a roleplay.  If anyone can help me with this let me know.
Thanks

Hello tim31! As my forum name implies, my character's name is Demagul. I'l keep an eye out for Irego in game, and if our time zones allow, I can't wait to meet him IC! I live in the US East timezone, and I'm usually online towards the end of the day. I'll add you to my buddy list in the game.  :)

And don't worry about not having a talkative character. Sometimes a quiet listener kind of character is perfect for finding yourself in some interesting RP. :D

Welcome tim31/Irego !

    First step of roleplaying : Create a story and a personnality for your character. His objectives and motives. You don't have to do this quickly, you'll do that while playing. You'll learn from others.
You'll see it's fun !
Enjoy !

EDIT : My character is Jilerel.

Thanks for the friendly welcome
I also live in the US East timezone.  Most of the time I'm online at night, but will sometimes be online during the day.  I'm usually online on Steam and Google Talk during the day too.
I will try to create the story and personality for the character, but it might take a while for me to do that.  It might also take a while for me to speak IC. That is usually because it takes me a few minutes to think of something to say.
Irego and I look forward to meeting you in the game

You may really enjoy rp and don't worry about a fast response when ic. We have many players for whom English is a little hard and take some time to respond, also.

Welcome to planeshift Tim31,

Take your time and figure out what you enjoy.

If you are interested in role play, but don't like to talk, its also possible to play a mute character. There was a player who did this a while back and simply emoted hand gestures and bodily movements rather than engaging in dialogue directly... just a thought.

Hello Tim31,

Welcome and don't worry, take your time and don't feel like you have to jump right in, read everything you can IG, this helps formulating character and backstory, easiest way to get involved is just say you are new in town. If you ever need any help with mechanics or role play Daughters of Xiosia are always kind  to new players. Watch out for Rigwyn he bites. :P (but only IC'ly)

Thanks for the help everyone :)
I will try to be ingame soon.  It will take a few times of trying before I can rp better.

One point I have to agree with, tim31: Listening to others is a good way to learn.

Maybe start with a little interaction before joining a chat by casually describing your activities in an emote ("/me ...", "/my ..." and a few more, look in the "Help" dialog for "/emote" descriptions or just type"/emote" and get a brief syntax example; most emotes still have shortcuts, like "/emote greet" = "/greet"). You may get different results whether you have a character in target or nothing (left-click on the ground, or "/target clear", I believe...).

Also, don't be afraid to ask for help. Role playing is not intuitive to everyone. Oronec and other members here were kind enough to pass the torch so to speak, and teach me how to role play. It took time for their lessons to really sink in.

Welcome to PS, Tim!  :)

I'll be looking for you on my characters!  I'm a US-East nightowl, myself.  I'm only recently returned to PS after an involuntary hiatus, but please consider me one of those willing to help you get acquainted and feel comfortable with our unique little world.  <3

Thanks :)
I will look at the emotes.  I think I will use "/me..." a lot.  Maybe something like "/me arrives in..."
I hope you don't mind me asking a lot of questions when I need help with something.
Thanks for all of the help :)
I look forward to meeting all of you ingame

The more that you use "/me..." the better!   \\o//

You'll find that the PS community is hit and miss with whether they reveal spoilers and to what degree.  But there are always plenty of hints!   :woot:
