A quick guide for sim owners
to keep new and seasoned
roleplayers in active and excited
about roleplay in their community

Be Active

As a sim owner, it’s
important to immerse yourself
into the tales, or lives, of the various players.
A meet and greet session with the new
residents and players of your sim is great
way to stay involved and add to their
storylines. This can come in the form of the
mayor’s tea party, breakfast with the High
King or even a free palm reading.
“I find that I love taking the minor role
and allowing others to be roleplay leaders
because it opens up all sorts of interactions
with people, [that] would not be open to in
their storylines. I would restrict interactions
with others if I was a noble persona.” —
AineMari
“It's imperative that an owner dedicate

some time to play his or her character. This
shows the players that the owner's true
passion is to role-play and not just to own
regions. It also keeps the owner in touch with
the stories, the attitudes and the health of
the role-plays and players.” — Rik
“A fact dear to my heart is, that if you are
actively in character, you do not need to
search for role-play nor do you require so
called role-play events — though they can
help, to a degree, with traffic for a sim and to
draw temporarily attention of new players or
to boost a storyline.” — Runa
Bottom line — make the effort to move
around and role-play with the new players to
make them feel welcome.
