Everybody from Garuda wants me to come back, apparently.

Also, my name requires more R's.

Not really, no. Most people who play MMOs "play as themselves." If you ask them their occupation, they'll probably tell you what they do IRL. Ask them their background and they'll likely either refuse to share RL info with creepy online people or tell you RL stuff. Their motivations are wholly "out of character" for their avatar.

Roleplaying is stepping into the role of someone in the setting, as if it were real to them. Granted, there's a wide spectrum - if you decide to talk like a Tarutaru and leave it at that, that's... pseudo-roleplaying. I guess I'd call it roleplaying, but it's generally not what people think of when they use the term. Then there are the hardcore folks who are "in character" 24/7 and will give you funny looks and confused comments if you try to talk about anything not in-game with them. Most RPers fall somewhere in between.

Basically, roleplaying walks the line between acting and storytelling, building on the information about the world and people in it provided by the game. Roleplayers generally don't roleplay with non-roleplayers because... It'd be pretty pointless, and silly besides. They tend to seek out like-minded people to do it with, so they can build a coherent story. It's not for everyone, but for those who enjoy it, it can be just as fun as grinding out 20k/hr in a kickass merit PT.

20k would be more kickass than pretty much any other merit group I've ever had...

Really is a shame how spoiled the playerbase has gotten.

I just realized I possibly misread you. So I'm going to cross that out for now.

In all honesty, I find meripo fun as long as I'm not trying to heal a bunch of Curesinking melees. As such, I usually like being the BRD.

I sure as heck wouldn't mind one that was actually capable of pulling out 20k/hr.

Trust me, Shadygrove is one of those people. I don't think I've ever seen her out of character.

HOLY CRAP! When did you come back?!

You don't have to worry about a backstory if you speak a different language. And by that I mean one you made up. I remember an old friend, "Sezzy," practically screaming in ls chat over a person in his xp party that would only speak in elvaan. Being the kind, helpful friend I was, I was pretty much in tears laughing at poor Sez. He was highstrung to begin with (damn I miss him!).

In six years, I have only ever come across a RDM "buying rounds" in the pub. Of course I let him. A free drink at the bar from a man is a free drink at the bar from a man, or something like that...

Seeing as this is a Role Playing game, yes.

In exactly the same way that we Americans, living in a Liberal Democracy, are all liberal.

NEVER!
