Basically, that is a bit how it works. However, you can choose to stay strict to a storyline, meaning RPing only in one spot at one time, or you can go out a little bit more. The forums are supposed to help with flexibility, so that you can socialize with all of the members, and not just a certain number at a time. Usually I follow a strict storyline, but becuase we do not have many members right now, I am all over the place! It just depends on what you want to do or feel comfortable with.
