Description
Roleplaying in Alyria provides players with the unique opportunity to become their characters. You say what they would say, and act as they would act. It's complete immersion in your character, as opposed to simply pulling the proverbial strings. It can provide a much better understanding of the game on various levels, and it serves as a chance to enjoy the game in a completely different way than leveling and questing offers you.
The use of profanity and profane twists on name calling must also be suppressed. There are racial tensions in Alyria, but they must not stoop to the level of abusive 'speech' (unless it is a roleplaying-type insult, which would not be considered vulgar by today's standards).
Roleplaying in Alyria is encouraged, but not enforced. This means that the majority of content you see over public channels and so forth will be non-role-related. Luckily, these channels can be shut off if the player desires a more immersive roleplaying experience.
Some players may not understand that you are attempting to roleplay. Just work with them the best you can and don't let them ruin your fun - roleplaying isn't for everyone, and will take commitment to maintain. The rewards can be worth it, however.
