When you come to the grand gate at Avilion, hopefully there is a greeter there, check for the Greeter of Avilion group tag. This person is a volunteer and will usually be happy to tell you about Avilion, and has some experience with the role play. They will also ask you politely, if you are in a tee shirt and jeans, to change to medieval dress, free clothes are available at the entrance.
As someone who has role played in Avilion for over a year and a half, my comment is its a medieval/fantasy society. As a society, just dropping by and visiting means you are an outsider. You will be welcomed, and people will be friendly and polite, but you need to find a place in the society to be part of it. Avilion separates combat from the other activities by limiting it to 2 sims Isle and Nexus, and further limiting it by not requiring a meter be worn on either sim. Role play varies, depending on who is around and what may be in progress. Someone may come in complaining of illness or injury, and the druids will respond with what may be a spontaneous role play. Avilion has many activities, there is story telling, theatre, combat classes, role plays, and even full wars with teams. Role play also varies, some people are very good at it, others really are not too sure of what to do. The druids are some of the best role players, they often have situations presented in classes they have to rp through to a conclusion.
Avilion is also an extremely polite society. This may throw you off at first, as people are usually very polite to a stranger, but are doing a certain amount of role playing with each other. The little fae with the smart mouth that is making trouble is a pixie, making trouble is part of their role play. The dragon thats acting moody, its a dragon, they can be that way. Most people play out of some part of their presonality. You have to work your way into the role play, or go play the drums, I do this when I have had a bad day.
If you want to role play in Avilion, work on a good history for your character. The people who do the best with role play have a story for their character and play out of the story, it defines your character. There is the other society in Avilion, heavily oriented to combat classes and Calls to Arms and not so much to role play. This is similar to the combat role play sims. There are combat classes, rangers, knights, magi, druids, and rogues, each with their own capabilities and weapons. A number of people do both, they like role play and they also can enjoy a battle or combat.
Avilion also has a history, there is a library with stories and biographies, as well as histories of the events that are the basis of the society. We have fun, but it takes a while to get into the society.
I am Ranger of the Order and Bard of the Order, and yes you can contact me.
