I've been playing the game for about 2 years now and sort of a newbie. Im getting better and have learned the lands pretty well and places to go etc.But my friends still tell me im not ready for empowerment and that I should stick to warriors and assassins.I have tried a paladin and was close to getting empowerment(I think).I just have a few questions.
1.How long should a role normally be.
2.Is their a certain criteria for roles.
3.What is a good way to role-play(because my friends say I suck at it).<-- Dont know any other way to ask this.
4.In playing for 2 years am I ready to try an empowered char?

Thanks for your help in advance.
