Keywords are: 'roleplaying rp' Roleplaying is the act of playing your character as though it were not you, and were a separate person. You have to put yourself into the frame of mind of your character, and separate what you know personally with what your character should know. Some terminology might help: 'in-character' are the things that your character does when it is behaving as itself. For example, if your character is a big dumb male warrior, he might be impressed by other warriors. He might shun mages because he doesn't understand them, and doesn't trust magic. He might even be a member of a religious cult dedicated to getting rid of all magic. But there are things he definitely wouldn't know: he wouldn't know what is inside the mages guild, he probably wouldn't know how to enchant his sword, and he certainly wouldn't know what a toaster or telephone is. 'out-of-character' is what you do when you have to communicate about things that don't relate to your character, or when you are using your character as a vehicle to discuss real life occurrences. This is when you talk about your phone, toaster, or what you had for dinner last night - but remember, when you are in character, your character should not be aware of any of these things. Roleplaying is encouraged on this mud, but without being strictly enforced it is difficult to find other people who role play. Occasionally quests are run that require role play to complete, and you can get brownie points and extra quests from gods who like role playing. We have been gradually adding things to encourage role playing, but for the most part this is a game and we expect people to primarily have fun. Happy hunting!
