Rp begginer
1. rumours of extensive cyber in rp (there are alot of those rumour out there)
2. im a total noob at acting and making stories and im afraid ill scare off or give off a bad impression to the "older" elite rp'ers or get the creepy ones as i stated in 1. rumours
3. I would like to start out with people i know just a little like from here on petopia so that i might be guided a bit if i do fall off on a wrong road
4. patience and story telling i am really bad at both and would like pointers on how to improve storys patience i can get frustrated if things go to slow
5. Where to start out in game or jump on the alredy really huge tread here or could we start a new for beginners and have some of the more experienced make a few comments on how to improve
6. would there be an interest from the eu players to try out one of the rp realms and make a petopia rp guild ?
i have mentioned point 6 in another tread but didn't seem to get a response so now im trying to see if i could maybe find a few that could ease my worrys and help the newb out once she starts also the rotten apples on one of those sites mentioned scared me to bits you really cant step to far beside the box before flaming starts if i understand what goes on there and omg so many invitations to cyber maybe the rumours are true `?
so i was hoping to find a few like minded newbies or oldies that wouldn't mind bringing a newbie in to rp my goal is to test it out thoroughly in game at some point this said i did attemt to join the tales of the hunt tread and then lost nerve afterwards cause i was in doubt if my description was good enough and how to start out in there its would seem wrong to just plot in my own story in the middle of the tale alredy unfolded.

Re: Rp begginer
If so, what would we be rolling? What sorts of roleplay are you fond of? I'm not too picky, cept obviously I don't cyber (bleugh) but you don't either xD If our playtimes match up*, I'd be happy to roleplay !
EST: 9:30-4:30, 8:00-11:00 are my possible times, though I have college work and don't play throughought; on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays I can stay up really quite late (1:00ish?) and play quite early in the morning but don't have as much daytime play.

Re: Rp begginer
If you're interested in forum-RP, we have two very nice threads for that. Azu has also posted a very nice guide, that applies for both forum RP and in-game RP.
And yes, cybering does exist. There are different hotspots for that on different servers, but for example, stay out of Goldshire.
And as for your "bad acting", well, you'll never learn without trying! xD
Elitist RPers do exist, just ignore them. Follow the rules Azunara listed and you'll do fine. :)
I also exist on DeviantArt.
"I'll probably be some kind of scientist, building inventions in my space lab in space!"
Moderation note: Saturo is banned from all forums except the RP forum, and only allowed there until the current RP thread ends.

Re: Rp begginer
as i said i do not feel comfortable pushing my self in to an already existing tread but i could ofc start a new for the beginners and for me to learn in if there is any interest in that from others or it would be kinda lonely

Re: Rp begginer
1. Easy way to avoid these guys is like Saturo said. Usually, Goldshire and SMC are infamous, but again, like she said, this does vary per server. I avoid GS like the plague, yet I've seen some creepy stuff in SW in my time. It varies per server. If you suspect you have a cyber, just leave. No problems there. When asked why, just tell them you aren't interested in that type of RP. If they continue pestering you, /ignore is a lovely thing.
2. For storylines for your character, keep it simple. The shorter, the better, because it allows you to adapt and grow your storyline. For all of my characters, I have never had a concrete storyline before I went in, beyond, "Azunara's father is dead and her mother lives in Ashenvale as an experienced alchemist." That's it. All I knew about Azu's past. Now I can write a whole paragraph about her past, because RP with others developed Azu into what she is.
2b. For storyline patience, never be afraid to just say, ((Hey guys. This is going a bit slow, nothing's happening...Do you mind if we fast forward it a bit?)) That's what I suggested in the Tales of the Hunt thread, for example. Traveling is always not fun in a RP thread, as well as in-game, so don't be afraid to kick it along. Just make sure to ask others first.
3. Unfortunately I can't help much on in-game RP, but if you'd like to join an RP thread, a new one can be started up if needed, or you can hop into the Tales of the Hunt thread. It's still rather short compared to the other one, RotS, so you can still rather easily weave yourself into the story.
4. (Or 5.) Again, I recommend you make a quick RP description, label yourself as a beginner RP looking for criticism, and just RP in the middle of your most populated city. For example: Cenarion Circle's Alliance hot spot is SW trade district, across the AH and to the back of where the wine dude stands. People who perch there are likely RPers. When I sit there, I'll just RP a simple action that makes people curious as to why I did that. For Azu, it's like either, "/e sneezes." or "/e meows at the kitten beside her, who hisses in reply." Both have worked for me before.
Also, I suggest if your server doesn't have one...Get your friends together and make an RP channel! For example, CC has Ally and Horde ones that are successful, if quiet, and I've started up a smaller one once before that was successful, before we came up with a bigger one.
All I've got...I need to make smaller posts. D:

Re: Rp begginer
As for plots, in all seriousness though, don't be afraid to start simple.

Great. Not only will people kill me, they want me to turn into a dragon and carry them places. D:

Re: Rp begginer

Cheers
