Role Player of the Month

**Role Player of the Month** is awarded to a winner and runner-up each month (or so) for exemplary role playing in-game and on the forum. Each month a vote occurs where players and staff members vote for two characters of their choice. Reasons for voting for someone could include a character being unique and/or memorable, strong in-character forum performance, restraining from making OOC comments in-game, and etc.

Winners will receive:
--250 XP per level
--1000 reputation in their faction
--1 custom appearance for an existing item

Runners Up will receive:
--250XP per level
--1000 reputation in their faction

Beginning in August, 2011, the RPotM contest was revised after an extended hiatus. A new **Biography Contest** was implemented to grant restricted races and classes to players. Each month players can anonymously submit a character bio plus an optional role-playing post for the players and staff to vote on. The emphasis on this contest is to encourage good role-play. Keep in mind that the bio you post will not necessarily be approved if you win. If there's too many of an ECL race or class, we might ask you to pick something else to play, or hold out until the population goes down.

Winners will recieve:
--Eligibility to apply for a locked race or RPotM-only class

Bio Contest winners are ineligible to win again for one full calendar year.
