Roleplay

Definition
Roleplaying is when the chat,emotes and actions of a PC(player character) are completely in the context of the persona of the character 'avatar' they are using. "Shakespearean" dialogue is sometimes used, but is generally looked down upon as stereotypical and unnecessary, so try not to use it. If you want "Shakespearean" dialogue go read one of his books, this is a game not one of his novels.

Generally people classify roleplaying into 3 catagories, Light Medium and Heavy. Lets say you are a monk, and there is a group of agressives ahead and a small passage way without aggressive. Since monks generally try to be peaceful, you take the smaller passageway. I don't have examples of Medium and Heavy RPing, so if you know anything else i don't please edit this right away (remove comment when editing please).

RP Etiquette
It is generally looked down upon for reading someone's Bio page on their inspect screen, and automatically knowing certain aspects that would take getting to know that character.

It is also looked down upon to take control of a character's actions, such as putting something in your emote that designates what they do in that situation. this is common among fighting, usually when one person throws a hit and in the same emote makes the other character get hit. This is sometimes referred to as "god modding."
