A few of us on the Marriland forums enjoy roleplaying, but some of us are unsure or weary of creating or joining roleplays here. This thread can be used for members to suggest their concerns.
Some points have been brought up in the Marriland server, but I think having a thread for everyone to post their opinion is a good idea.
Some of the points brought up concerened the rules. Even though they are there for a reason, the rigidness of them may not allow for more casual, freeform roleplay.
To be specific: the need for a plot and setting for the roleplay may limit the creator and may make the roleplay itself less of an appeal to join for those roleplayers who prefer it being more casual.
Another concern brought up was the character form. Most roleplays require a form in which the person has to write a backstory, personality, etc. Flo wrote a More detailed guideline here.
From what I recall, though, the category for casual roleplays was implemented on Azurilland. However, the rules written for Marriland are not very specific and don't clarify some of the requirements for these categories.
My own suggestion was that we could have a tag for "discussions" on the roleplay forums posing different questions or tips, like the process for creating a character or what type of roleplay interests us, and maybe a thread where we could discuss and suggest new ideas for roleplays.
So I invite both the staff in charge of roleplays (I think for now that's only Regine?) if she can clarify any of this points and others who would like to voice their concerns, opinions, and clarifications. Remember the purpose here is not to complain but to suggest and give feedback, so we can improve both the roleplaying boards and the community that are interested in the roleplays.
