Hello this is a quick guide to get you started role playing on the forum. There are a few options on the boards so I will cover these in this thread.
In Character Role play
In character role play should be written in third person and contain narrative to bring your character to life. You can add as many or little details as you want in the post.
Example:
Lostar was shocked as the village came into sight, it seemed desolate and cold like all life had been taken from it. The quiet was chilling and the smell of burnt timber filled his nostrils. "Hello?" He called out in hope of a response.
Combat and special events such as adventures should be avoided as it would normally be determined at an event, however trading and research can be done without issue. If you are unsure ask a ref about what can and cannot be done on the forums.
Going Postal
Going postal is a letter service allowing you to communicate with other characters that are distant from you or multiple characters at the same time. These messages are delivered by the Goblin Postal Service (GPS) These letters should be addressed to those who you wish to see the message. If it is not addressed the message may get lost or seen by those who the letter is not intended for. Letters should be written in first person as if you were writing a letter.
Example:
To Lostar
My dear son I hope that the life you have chosen is treating you well, your mother and I are always worrying about you but we trust in the wind and hope that it will one day bring you home to us. Lillia is doing great with her studies of history but she also misses you dearly, she is always asking when you are coming home but she is too young to understand some of our traditions and we would like to keep her in the dark for a little longer. Don't forget to write back to us soon son.
Love
Mom and Dad
It is possible to send items through the GPS but it will incur a monetary cost, check with a ref how much.
