Good point Bones!
When I tried Planeshift [alas, for some 20 minutes before the graphics killed me] - one of the very first messages was a reminder that hey, people here like to roleplay, so try to keep up with them or at least do your best to not spoil their enjoyment by going out of character too blatantly.
Point being, in a roleplay game, one of the first messages was OOC and highly useful at that. Ryzom could take some notes in this regard, one quick message when you start out subtracts nothing from the rest of your experience.
