Note: This may contain
references to other games, and is generally applicable to most
MMORGPs and not specifically WoW.
I have noticed that some articles on this subject tend to show
persons personal point of view as to what role playing is and how it
should be done. The problem is that everyone is different, and what
is right for one person, may not be for another. So I just intend to
give some general useful information with out ramming too much of my
own opinion down your throat saying this is the only way to do it.
This is not indented to be a definitive guide merely a starting
point of things to bear in mind. If you read several different
articles on role playing and some of the views seem to conflict,
remember its just different peoples opinions. Take from it what you
think is good and if you think something does not sound right for
you, then it may just be there role play style (you don't have to
follow it).
What is Role-playing?
Role playing is a bit like acting in that you put yourself in
someone elses shoes. You get to go on a holiday from yourself and do
things that you would not normally do or say. In short; you take
over a different persona, with their own strengths and flaws.
Why do people want to role-play?
The fun is (well for me), to play someone who is different from
yourself and interact with others who are doing the same. Have you
ever been reading a book, or watching a film, and wishing you were
one of those involved and could interact with the characters? Well
now you can. I don't think this is the only reason though, if you
ask three different people you would probably get three different
answers. Basically it all boils down to one thing. They enjoy it.
How do I get started Role playing?
The first thing that you need to be able to role play is a character
and a character history. What was the up bring like? How does the
character act towards other people? Does he or she dislike any
particular race? And so on. You don' have to work it all out
straight away, but it's good to have some ideas. Maybe your
character did not have a good education and does not always speak
correctly. For me, flaws seem to make a character come to life a bit
more and make him or her more unique. Think how your character will
act towards other people. For example if he is an evil character he
does not have to be polite and courteous to people but he may show
respect for thieves and murders. That will give you something to
work with. You can also let the in-game events take effect on your
character as time goes by. For example if something very traumatic
happens to him, it might have some effect, like being trapped in a
small place might cause him to get claustrophobia. Again, make up
your own mind and use your imagination! As time goes by and you
develop your character you might want to start writing his
background, personality and events that have happened to him in game
to remind you, and so you can read through it again later to refresh
your memory as to how he might act. For example if he has had one or
several bad experiences with one particular type of race or creature
he might come to hate and/or fear them.
If you are having trouble finding role playing guilds, or even
information on your chosen game then Stratics is an excellent place
to start looking. They have information on message boards on many
online Role playing games. Since online games get updated a lot the
instruction manual is not always up to date, Stratics serves as an
up to date online manual. Stratics also reports what is happening in
game.
But all this can only go so far, you need other people to role play
with and have adventures and quests with. Try to find role players
where ever you happen to be playing, usually there are some sort of
role playing communities in a role playing game. Look at web sites
and hunt around.
What language do role players speak?
d00d speak, where letters are replaced by similar symbols, and
acronyms like lol (laugh out loud) and rofl (rolling on the floor
laughing) are generally frowned upon. Emotes such as *laughs* and
*smiles* are generally preferred. Other than that, pick anything
that fits with your character. Speak modern english, ye olde english
or even english with a french accent if you have to. Does your
character have a lisp ? Does he have difficulty pronouncing the
'th'? Perhaps you will have him speak Orcish, Elven or Gargish... It
really does not matter, as long as you are consistent.
Is going out of charter (ooc) allowed?
This seems to be a very personal thing. I personally always try to
use [] to show ooc, but it's not the only way. You can just say you
are talking ooc and speak normally. At some point though you will
find it necessary to go ooc, don't worry, I think this is natural
and something that we all have to do from time to time. However, die
hard role players will rather cut off their right foot than be
caught talking out of character.
Tolerance
Just because someone does not role play in exactly the same way you
do, is not a good reason to flame them or say they are not role
playing. However you may come across someone, either in-game or on
message boards, who just seems to like arguing and attacking you
personally regardless of your arguments. Don't try to argue with
people like this, as that is what they want, they love to argue,
just try to ignore them if possible.
Role playing for girls
Some girls do not like having guys hit on them in role-playing
games. One way to avoid this is to play a male character. Playing a
different sex must surely be an interesting and challenging role
playing experience. Of course you don't have to play a man if you
don't want to, maybe you can be that powerful girl you have always
wanted to be (Girl power). But always keep in mind that just because
you see a woman in game, it does not necessarily mean they are a
woman in real life. In fact, a lot of 'girls' you meet in-game are
in reality role-playing guys.
I have known quite a variety of girls who play role playing games,
some just like to run shops, make things and sell them, others
really like PvP (Player vs player combat ). Again try things out and
do what feels right for you. While there are more men playing role
playing games, there are certainly lots of women too so you will not
be the only girl playing.
Is role playing for me?
Why are you ask me? What do you think, want to give it a try?
I would like to thank all the people whom I have spoken to that have
given me support and information which helped make this guide.
