[@Meyneth]Hello! As you may notice, I'm not exactly old-blood here. I, and, to a greater extent, all of us, were in your shoes at one point. I'd like to provide a few tips I wish I had when I was new to the site. 

[list]
[*]RP's are in third-person. I know that seems obvious, but if you're like me, you were the only person in your first RP writing in first-person.
[*]For the love of all that is holy or sacred, stay out of the advanced section* until you have a few casuals under your belt. You don't want to be the only person cranking out shit to keep making the quota, believe me.
[*]Learn BBCode, seriously. You can do cool stuff...

There's a cheat sheet at the bottom. You'll get the hang of it.
[*]Don't be a dick. Really, just don't.
[*]Have fun, seriously. [b]NOT HAVING FUN IS A HERESY![/b][/list]

Do correct me if I'm wrong, but I think [@Lady Amalthea] has an even more in-depth new-players guide somewhere.

*Unless you're one of those insanely crazy people who's a good writer before they come to the guild. Every God knows I wasn't.
