    Welcome to Istaria. I hope you enjoy the game!

    From my (rather meager) knowledge, role-play is primarily on the Order server, which is the server I generally frequent. Most RP tends to happen in the official Role-Play channel, but there are many offshoot channels that are player-made for different subjects. It's possible, but rather rare, to find RP hidden out in the wilds of the game. New Trismus used to be a rather large gathering spot but I don't notice many people idling there these days; most people tend to sit around in Dralk or Chiconis.

    Gameplay, Istaria is a PvE tab-targeting MMO. You click an enemy and then click an ability or the attack button to perform an attack. All abilities have cooldowns referred to as 'recycle' in in-game lingo. Crafting is an entirely different system where you have tools or abilities to mine raw resources then turn them into processed ones via the use of formulas. You become better at refining a resource the higher the related skill is (smelting for making metal bars, metalworking for making them into tools, etc). You raise your skills by leveling up. There are many, many different resources in the game, but it depends on whether you're a dragon or a biped (and what schools you choose here) as to what you can/will end up gathering.

    Both dragons and bipeds have multiple crafting schools that specialize in different things and gain exp from different resources. Bipeds have 19 and dragons have 4. Adventuring-wise, dragons only have 1 adventure school, while bipeds have 24. You can be in every single school in the game at once, but watch your rating, which determines your experience gain.

    Your fellow players can likely explain things a lot better than I can and offer more in-depth explanations, so feel free to join the New Player channel (Order) / New Player Assistance (Chaos) and Marketplace. Dragon is also an option if you are a dragon.
