=== Roleplay Status ===
Within your Social panel (<kbd>O</kbd> key, by default) you can see people who are online in nearby areas. At the bottom you can set a custom user status.<br>Feel free to set this to 'Roleplaying' or 'Drinking in a Serbule...' or whatever you'd like, so that other roleplayers may find you on the Social panel.
