I've been on Earthen Ring for ironman for a while now, it's an RP server but I haven't encountered much, which I'm glad of, as while I have the utmost respect for RP, I can't think fast enough to actually do it - heck, I struggle to find appropriate things to say when I'm being myself half the time, I'd have no chance if I was being someone else, in a world with different norms to ours! That said, I love the idea of RP and so try to at least not be a nuisance while on ER, I don't run through the middle of a group of people who are talking, for example. But the little things are easy to miss... I was just on the server forum, and came across a few threads about the in-character "laws" of the server, focussing on SW, with quite a bit about warlocks and death knights. And then I saw a point that made me cringe... quite rightly, it's pointed out that demons and ghouls etc should not be seen in the streets of SW, as, obviously, they'd terrify the citizens, and, while members of both classes are tolerated, such overt displays are never going to be welcome. Hmm... how many times did I run through SW with a massive blue voidwalker following me, even into the hallowed cathedral? Oooops! So, now I'm wondering what else like that is obvious but never even crossed my mind - if anyone here RPs I'd be glad of some tips on how to blend in and not be too noticeable if possible! I'm never going to actively RP but at the very least I don't want to break the immersion for those who do. I've started out by making a resolution to put demons away before entering town lol, and also acquiring a somewhat less skeletal gryphon for my DK - Dalaran can probably cope with death knights by now but SW likely requires a little more discretion ;-)
