I have been RPing in MMO's for almost 5 years now spent a couple in wow and recently have spent the last 3 in Aion. Me and good friend of mine left Aion because it was getting a bit too Emoish and the RP community is dieing to put it politely as there is roughly 20-30 some odd active RPers in all the servers and that's it. We are looking for a new outlet spew our proverbial creative juices when I happened on your lovely server forum here. Now that my stupidly and probably un needed rant about my past is over I pose a question for you kind people. As far as Race specific RP goes, do the races themselves interact in common RP areas so often or is it basically clicks sort of. Examples are obvious, "This Elf click here, this human click here, this hobbit click here etc etc..." Or do all the races generally all coagulate together?
I ask this only because I know LOTR RP is very lore heavy and I have absofreakinglutely no problem with that whatsoever, however, I don't want to make a dwarf and only RP with dwarves and so and so forth. Any help in clarifying this would be of great worth to me and my friend

First of all let me welcome you on Laurelin
It is lovely to you you and friends decided to join our wonderful community here. It is true that ( given the importance of the lore) different races tend to gather in specific places for events. Like for example, a hobbit joining a group on elves RP in Rivendell may be looked upon with a raised eyebrow and asked what he or she is doing there...but fear not. Laurelin and its community often join together in great multi-cultural events like concerts, balls, parties, plays, weddings etc etc.
There are weekly events that are hobbit/elves preferred but other races are often welcome as long as they remember to be respectful of the event itself. We have a lovely place called The Laurelin Archives where you can find a treasure trove of information about events, people, kins, story lines etc.
Welcome again, I hope you will be happy and enjoy your time on Laurelin
