Roleplay servers are about playing a character in a shared story. Lore documents, staff run events and rules about staying in character turn the world into a stage, whether the setting is medieval, a modern city or a fantasy realm. The best roleplay worlds feel lived in because staff keep the story moving with events, factions and consequences.
Check the setting, the application process and the roleplay rules before you join. Most roleplay servers expect a short character backstory.
