Well as the title says I'm interested in joining but I wanted to know a few things first before I make an account or decide to stay.
1. Is there a required minimum word count on RPing posts?
2. How active is this site daily? Weekly?
3. Under the alliances there is Ismalia. What is that alliance/group?
4. If I joined I'd like to RP a Rider. Are there any restrictions or anything I should know about creating/RPing one.
5. What time period is this set in. After the series? During them? If so when during the books.
Thanks in advanced.

Please take the time to read the informative threads, namely, the rules and the plot. In Character Creation there is also information about riders and other characters. Read those, and if you still have questions, then you can ask.

Thanks, I did read those prior to posting this though, I'm a seasoned RPer and I never even consider joining until after I read the rules and other important threads. Perhaps I should clarify my questions.
The rules had no word count minimum rule. I just wanted to make sure this was true because I don't like to join sites with a minimum word count.
The activity of the site. Obviously there are no threads on that. I just wanted to know if I joined will I actually be able to get responses to my threads.
Other than name I have not read anything specific about what the Ismarlia alliance is? (I have read all the books and I understand who and what the other alliances are but I don't know what the Ismarlia alliance is.) Please explain or at least link me to a thread about it so I may read about it.
As for making a Rider from what I understand is take the quiz for it then fill out the character form. Correct? I don't need to do anything more than that to make one do I?
As for time period. Comparing the books to the plot I think I know where at this site takes place but it is an AU (Alternate Universe) in some reguard. Correct?

There is no word count minimum, though I encourage members to write full detailed posts for the sake of interest and grammar.
The activity on this site is fairly active. You will get a response to a thread.
The Ismalians are a race of humans to the north of the Du Weldenvarden that a member of the site (Tismri) created to add more interest to the current plot. They have allied themselves with the Varden to defeat Galbatorix. The most notable thing about the Ismalians is that magic does not work properly on them, nor can they use magic properly.
For a rider, you have to take the quiz and send me your answers in a PM. If you pass, then you can create dragon riders. The test is jut to make sure that the the people playing riders have read the books and no enough about them to play them correctly.
In some regard, yes, it is an alternate universe because we have the Ismalians and a multitude of new riders not in the actual series. However, the timeline goes along with the series. So, currently, the plot takes place just after book 3. However, I will be updating the plot soon so that it takes place after book 4.

Ah I see. Thanks so much for the answers that clears a lot up for me. Once I get a chance I think I'll go make an account and jump into this. Sounds fun. =) Thanks again.
