RolePlay Guild

Basic Ideas of the Guild:

This guild has been designed for people who like to role play in the MMORPG world of Perfect World. Though most think of this game is something where you just grind constantly to acquire more levels and better gear. There is usually one thing left out.
RolePlay functions like most guilds, friends/family joining a group of people, helping each other through quests, dungeons, farming, est. but is created so role players such as yourself could come together and give the characters your play, life. So your character could interact with Perfect World’s environment. Ic (in character) the guild has no name rather just a group of us interacting with each other’s characters. It could be started by creating drama, action, insanity, whatever you prefer, as long as the person(s) you are with are comfortable by the idea. We are looking for open minded and mature people to join.
Some tend to ignore what is written on these quests npcs (non-playing characters) give you throughout the game and only focusing on what objectives and rewards rather then WHY they are doing the things they are told. Because we are in an MMORPG, do not feel discouraged. I know personally people may come over and say ‘wtf r u talking like that 4?’ or say something immature and inappropriate. And it is best to simply ignore those people or if you have to, use your blacklist. We want people to feel comfortable role playing and not stuck on what ‘most’ people do inside the game.

Introductions:

I am still fairly new to Perfect World and still learning a lot about it. This is really the first guild I ever started so please bare with me. I’ve been role playing for several years on Neverwinter Nights. My current character who is leader of the RolePlay guild is Samoonra, Blademaster. She is serious but calm by nature and easy to get along with.

Hey, this section is for me, the Director and player of Aerie_Elandi the cleric. She is gentle and helpful but often worried about the suffering of the war and herself being in the front. Personally I don’t have the same long experience as the leader of the guild, it’s been about 2 years on Neverwinter Nights for me. But how experienced people are doesn’t really carry a lot of weight. People new to role playing can be surprisingly good, as long as the will is there and try and learn.

Rules of RolePlay:

-We recommend level 20+. This rule isn’t necessary enforced but we feel those below that level tend to be stuck at their home city without any fellow role players nearby unless of the same race.

- Respect those you role play with and others around you.

-Role playing will often be through normal chat unless you feel it should be something private. If you are role playing with someone and you want to say something ooc(out of character) to them. To clear up any confusion use ‘ooc:’, ‘((‘ whatever will help to notify them of the difference. Or if you are in the same squadron as that person, simply use the squad chat or guild chat for ooc.

-Though we or some of us are adults, let keep role playing pg13. Let us not forget children are often playing these games.

-This is an English speaking guild, though nothing against using native tongues with somebody who speaks the same language. Please be courteous of those around you who may not speak your language.

Q&A:

Q:” How many characters of the same account are allowed into the guild?”
A: Currently two, as 50 is the max for the guild. You are allowed to have a main and an alternate character into the guild.
--
Q:”Will this guild be getting into any Territory Wars?”
A: Personally I do not see that working out so well against competitive guilds and also role playing would have to be set aside till the end.
--
Q: “Is there a certain requirement to role play?”
A: There are not many requirements needed as you could be new to role playing. Only that your character has a name (not like Doomknight for an example *made up name*) and is aware of what is going on in the world around them. If your character has an ‘avatar name’, go ahead and think of a name for them that makes sense in role playing.
--
Q: “Okay, I’m new to role playing. What do I do?”
A: Most role playing starts with your very own character. As you have already created their looks through the character creation, it is now up to you to give your character his or her personality. It could range from being sweet and kind to dark or just a plane lazy snob. Weather it is from planning that character before creation or tweaking their personality throughout the game. Remember, this game is set in a war, use common sense and think realistically how they would behave in such things.
Their behavior could also be influenced through their history you make up for them.

Example: Blade Master Yuri *another made up name* was brought into the academy in his mid teens to be trained hard as a solider for war. He has endured much pain during his years to grow into a stern warrior.

Another example: Janna *more made up names* a venomancer who lived in the far deserts with her tribe. She is extremely wary around others who do not look like her but curious about the world around. With her trusty companion by her side, they set out from the tribe in the life as an adventure but later soon, gets caught up in the web of conflicts ahead.

Also if you want to start getting into more details such as their strengths and weaknesses or maybe them having a disability, a deft wizard, fat blade master, gender confused untamed, whatever to add more life to your character. Again, be mature with your creativity and choose something you and others may enjoy.
--
Q: “What about level differences between characters for Roleplaying/adventuring?”
A: There are none. Just keep in mind that if you are traveling with a higher level character that they may unlock quests the lower level may not accept, till later on. But as it is in role playing, you should ask yourself this, would your character help its friend to succeed their quests?
--
Q: “Can I role play a hardcore and evil barbarian who steals other character’s stuff?”
A: Again, this goes along the rules of respecting your fellow role players and others.


Addition information:

Here is some additional information to clear up any more confusion.
Recently there has been a slight confusion on how exactly RolePlay will work in rp aspect. As some suggested, we could function as one big group of mercenaries, small army and what not. Reason why we aren’t going to do that is for the fact that it’ll force people to rp. Our intention isn’t to force people to do things, rather have people form their own groups with person(s) they like and enjoy playing with both icly and oocly.


This is how RolePlay guild will be using their chat modes:

Normal Chat – Used for role playing. Unless somebody wanted to say something out of character, use ‘((‘ or ‘ooc:’ whatever will help.
Squad Chat – Mostly for out of character but if you feel there are too many people or wish to role play with that persona privately, feel free to make it ic use.
Faction Chat – Recently there has been a bit of debate about this. Faction Chat will be only for ooc use. Reason why is because when another group may be engaged in their own role playing, it’ll create a distraction or tend to annoy those people. Realistically, role playing is done face to face. If you feel like you want to communicate somebody halfway around the world, feel free to make up an item, ‘Ring of Communication’ and use player whispers if you want.

More role playing tips:

Metagaming – Information your character doesn’t know that you as a player may know.
When is metagaming good?
It’s a difficult question to answer as people have their own views on this. Most may think it is all bad but the only time it may seem good is when you are left with nobody to role play with. Send a player a whisper asking if you want to role play with them, invite them into a squad so the two or more of you could ‘bump’ into each other.
