Step one... Rules rules rules!


  • Familiarize yourself with the rules
  • Understand the Rules
  • Ask questions about what you don't understand


Much of these should be fairly typical rules. They're just your usual dos and do nots of roleplay and your conduct here on gaia online. But be sure to read all of them, because you don't want to miss the one that may not be familiar to you. Then if something is not clearly explained please ask! I'm so very happy to answer questions.

Step two... Getting your character!


  • Have a character
  • Get it approved by a mod.
  • Make your characters profile in the stables


Now that you know what you can and can't do here, the next step is getting involved. For a RP community, this means getting your characters in! The first step in getting your character is to get it approved by a mod. You should have no problems. So once that's been done, which should happen lickity split, you'll then head over to the stables to set up your character profiles. These can be as detailed or as simple as you want, but it'll be important so that others can quickly reference your character and contact you for RP!

Step three... Introduce yourself!

  • Introduce yourself!
  • Look around discord's lair.
  • Start your own threads (optional)
  • Maybe find some RP which will bring you on to the next step!


Now that you're in you're going to want to start making some connections with fellow members. After all Friendship, like Roleplay, is magic. And nothing beats an RPbuddy. So head over to the introductions thread to make yourself known and allow us to get to know you on more of a personal level. If you want to exclude things feel free. While you're here take a look at discords lair in general. This is the OOC subforum. You can post anything you want, this is a chatterbox, so long as it follows the rules!

Step four... Roleplay!


  • Don't get overwhelmed by the subthreads!
  • Check out the interactive map of equestria!
  • Figure out where your pony lives and find RP in the same area.
  • Can't find any RP? Try ponyville.
  • RP in the open threads or make as many of your own threads as you want.
  • Don't worry about doing something wrong. Mods will always be around to help out, mistakes are easy to fix!


Now its time to get into what we're all here for, RP! Now I know there are a lot of subforums so don't let it overwhelm you. There's a handy dandy interactive map of equestria that should give you some barrings on what resides where. My best suggestion is to know where your pony lives and figure out where to RP from there, and of course the hottest RP spot is likely to be ponyville, because its already so well visualized through canon means. But also feel free to utilize the lesser known cities and start filling them in.

Most importantly you may make as many of your own private threads as you want. the "ORP" stickies are just general spots where you can go hang out and meet new ponies etc. So go and make as many "orp" and "prp" as you want! You can even have RPs from those spots on your own terms, especially if you want to have a prp in say Sugarcube Corner. Go for it.

Don't worry about doing something wrong, which I can't imagine you can, but you'll be very politely told because we're going to assume you just didn't know and our attempts are not to shame or upset you, just to give you a chance to learn and hear why and how. Most mistakes are because I, as a mod, are not explaining things clear enough. The fault is always on me when I come to tell you its wrong. c:

Step five... The rest of it!


  • Want something added? Did you see a mistake? Go to the Official Suggestions Thread
  • Got something you or your pony want to sell? Make a stall.
  • Really enjoy MLP lore? Head over to Golden Oak Library to read and maybe make a "book" of your own.
  • Keep an eye on hoofington post for announcements, and check there for other Newspaper related things. (Classifieds, singles, comics etc)


Now that you've hopefully gotten your barrings around the sight you can try to delve into the other stuff. But first, did you see something missing, something to correct? Go to the Official Suggestions Thread and let us know!

Once that's done you can make a stall in the market for either your pony or yourself(Selling MLP related things for gaia gold or IC bits.

After that look around the Golden Oak Library to check out the "books" -- and while you're at it see if there are any "books" you want to write and ask us! I'd love to have some help in this regard.

Finally check out hoofington post for both announcements regularly and other little newspaper related things (such as classifieds ads or singles etc)
