Greetings Conquest of the Horde.
I am an ol' hardcore RPer from live European Realms with lots of projects and experience in my pocket (if I may be so bold to state such things about myself). Though life took some turns and I have not been able to pay the fee, or rather I haven't prioritized WoW high enough to have wanted spending money on it. Therefore I am now considering a Private Realm, so I found CotH and so far it sounds pretty much awesomesauce.
But I have some questions;
1. How hard is it to become a member/prescriber or whatever you might call it? I would think myself having enough to speak for myself but the things is that my roomies wanna come along too and they are new to RP inside a game or chat like this. (Though they are both pen and paper roleplayers and LARPers (Live Action RolePlay.) So in short, do they have a chance to join without experience?
___--- Non PG-13 Question ---___
2. I read the rules and just wanna get this right. As I interpreted the rules I think that it is okay to roleplay on some of the touchy subjects IN GAME as long as you it in a private manner and all parties are okay with it?
Example 1: Can I roleplay a drug user/addict that might openly sniff or smoke "things" as long as you actually don't refer to the substances as reallife substances?
Example 2: Is it okay to have a character who have been sexually assulted/abused and talk about it? (Maybe not screaming about it in town square but maybe more secluded place with people they have come to trust.)
Example 3: Is it okay to roleplay a concubine/escort/"geisha" with main focus on the company-aspect of their "usage" and not the act prostitution?
I got no plans at the moment to aim towards any of these aspects of roleplay but I rather ask now and get myself clear on what the rules mean.
That is all for now, thanks in advance for any replies.
