RarityDash Posted January 13, 2013 Report Share Posted January 13, 2013 Hi there. Canterlot offers a number RP options. What will best suit you depends on what sort of game you're after. If you want to just jump in quickly and play a relaxed game without many rules as to the kinds of stories and content, you should check out our Free Roleplay sections (there are still some rules; make sure your familiar with the general, site wide rules). If instead you want a more structured experience that more definitely strives to mirror the feel of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic in terms of what is allowed, you should try the World of Equestria RP environment.If you intend to do the latter, you will have to fill out a character application first. Applications are subject to approval by the RP Helper team. Read and pay close attention to this guide to create your application then post it to the applications section. Once you have, and once your application is marked as [Ready], an RP Helper should start to work with you on making your application acceptable for the standards of the game. When the RP Helper thinks your application is ready, they will submit it for review to a Senior RP Helper, who will decide whether to approve the app or ask for more changes. Once your application is approved, after a short wait (you will have to have your app filed and your usergroup changed) you will be able to RP in the WoE sections as your approved character.As for how to start the actual RPing part, when you get to it, for either RP section, posting thread ideas in the OOC (out of character) sections is a good way to find others to play with. You can also jump into any thread marked as being open or just create your own thread right away and hope it takes off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starswirlthebearded Posted January 13, 2013 Report Share Posted January 13, 2013 My good friend QuickLime also made a rather nice Blog series about how to break into WoE RP. The advice is fairly solid, but keep in mind that they are recommendations from an experienced user rather than hard and fast rules stated by RPHS. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flutterscotch Posted January 15, 2013 Report Share Posted January 15, 2013 Also, if during the application process we notice that you're struggling we'll make suggestions (you are always welcome to ask additional questions in PM of the RP Helper team, and in your application thread itself). Welcome! Good Luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
