Guide To Star Stable Role-Plays

 Hello Riders! Lately, I've been noticing that many people in game don't know how to Role-play! Because of this, I'll be showing you guys some basic rules and tips for SSO Role Playing.

-----------

First off, you'll need to know how to invite someone to the group you'll host the RP in. During the Role Play, you'll talk in group chat so you won't spam the chat of people in your area in "Say" chat.

Here's how you do it:

Click on the player's horse, avatar, or name if they say something in chat. If you click on their character, a display will show up next to your info in the top left corner of the screen. Click on their name.

 A drop down menu should appear:

Click "Invite to a group"

This will give them an invitation to your group*.

*Only 5 players can be at a group at a time

-----------

By knowing this, you can now make an ad for it in Global Chat! Most people use all caps to make ads to make them noticeable. I, on the other hand, suggest that you use caps only for short ads. Long, all caps ads being repeated over and over extremely annoys players, not making them wish to join your RP. Here's an example of a short, detailed ad that will most likely get the most players quickly:

If you wish to join the Role, answer with what they ask you to in the ad. Here's an example:

If someone answers to your ad, be sure to add them to your group using the method shown above.  

Tip:

Be sure to include the RP type, location, meeting point, players needed, and what to say to join in a Global Chat ad.

Next, You'll need to know how to Role-Play in chat. I suggest that you have some of your character's backstory planned out before you jump into the RP. Star Stable players have over time made a style in which everyone role-plays. Here are examples:

-----------

After everyone in the role is ready to start, say your "Roles". They are description of your character(s) that you will use in the role. Here's an example:

*** BE SURE to only get the basic starter facts for your character. You can always develop the backstory as the Role goes on ***

Types of Roles

Wild Role: Play as wild horses. Horses can be independent or part of a herd. Horses have no Tack on and the human avatars are ignored through the role. Roles are usually set in fields around the map.

Rider Role: Play as both your horse and rider. Rider is main character out of the two, unless it is a "Horse Mode/Rider Mode" role style. Rider roles are usually set at stable-like locations around the map.

Mix Role: Play as either a wild horse or a rider. Rider roles are usually near stables, but in areas with fields for the wild horses.

Romance Role: Play as either a horse or a rider. Notice: Rider romance roles are NOT meant for players under the age of 13 and sometimes have mature content.

Thanks for reading! I hope you have fun doing your Role-plays, and happy riding!
