Trading Tips for the Noobies

7. Niobium and Diamonds is not even close to the most profitable use of your time, and that's not even accounting for lost revenue from piracy.

Really... I wouldn't know. My bad.:(

EDIT: I'd say that it's likely that newer players feel not only timid about RPing a character, or "making believe" as Unselie reminded, but also may think that to decently RP a character one has to be a novel writter and prepare it with two pages in the stories section in the RP forum. I don't think it's about that.

More experienced players (yet still not all of them), who like writing will do that because it's fun to further the life of a character and go beyond the stereotype.

What sometimes younger players may misunderstand is that stereotypes are a great way to start a character. They are a launching point. You don't have to figure your character's whole life from day one. You can start out with a name, a fisical appearance, an occupation, and something that will drive it from there. Also, RPing is much more about action and, in our case, what you do in game, than pages of RP in the forums. Of course, those are fun and important to, to a level, but really wearing the shoes of your character in game (remembering those starting points) is what will get you going. This applies to all types of characters. Once you unleash your imagination, there's no stop to it.

So, if you have problems coming up with an ultra original new thing, go for the old battered cliche and add a twist of your own to it.
