RP. And what I've learned.
Posted: Mon Jun 22, 2009 8:30 pm
Before and even in the beginning of playing WoW, I was one of those people who scoffed at role playing. Mostly due to not knowing it's significance or, at least, the significance it would come to mean to me to date. I'm fully aware that as a new person to the idea that I've yet to perfect it in my own way but I try to respond as my character would. I guess it's helped to be a writer and to have studied in school and on my own personalities and natural emotional responses.
To make it easy on myself, I've incorporated aspects in myself (and aspects I wish I had in myself) into Sylvea. The quiet, overly thoughtful young girl, a role I've played best my whole life. Constantly thinking on what will be said and holding back most what is wanting to come out. The blood thirst, pride-having.. well, those are character developments and things I've yet to have for myself in this present state.
Over these past few months.. I'm grateful to have had the chance to work with it. And to work with fellow Grim on it. Since I'm still learning, I keep it simple. Nods and salutes, shuffles and fidgets. There are times I still feel a tad overwhelmed by it all (for example: last nights meeting) but I'm trying to work past that initial nervousness. In any case, I feel like I've come a long way from a 'viewer' to a participater;
I used to, when still leveling, sit in the Royal Quarter of Silvermoon and watch the different roleplay's taking place. To see language use, interactions. It always amazed and amused me and now I've had the many opportunities to be a part of it, while someone who was just like me can watch and lured by it.
Long and short of this post: I want to thank all of you for your patience with me and my questions; I'm still relatively new to the game and there are things I learn everyday from everyone. I know I ask a lot of questions and I know my roleplay is still in need of work but no one has ever made me feel less of a person because of it. I guess I'll be blaming all of this emotional post on the fact that I haven't slept in the past two days but I really want to blame it on the fact that.. I've had a lot of time to be thinking things over and.. all I can really and simply say is, "Thank you." For understanding and patience and kindness when I've needed it. Especially now, it means a hell of a lot to me. And I'm sorry for any selfish or rude gestures or words I might've said in the past.
And.. Christ, I need sleep or i might start writing personal notes to people in here with hearts and crap.
