Role-play

1. Text RP server: All in game role-play is written in third person. There will be no voice RP.
2. Proper punctuation: In Role-play, some form of punctuation is a must. Making mistakes is fine, but putting effort in the grammar or your writing is expected.
3. All Role-play is done in game: There are no forms of IC communion outside of the game.
4. Metegaming is not allowed: Anywhere under any circumstances. ‘consensual metagaming’ is an exception, and may be done as organized role-play.
5. Avoid Blending at all cost: Keep OOC and IC stictly separate, and never let one influence the other. Not wanting to RP with someone can happen, but you should never let it flow into toxicity.
6. Do not God Mod: There is no ‘main’ characters who will always succeed. Always allow other players to influence the RP as well, and never take control of other characters in your RP unless permitted by rules that say so.
7. Retcons are not allowed: Only two exceptions to this. One, is when two players reach an OOC agreement *immediately after the RP* that is to be retconned, IF that does not affect other players and/or their RP. In rare cases of blatant rule breaking which directly leads to a permadeath of a innocent player character, staff may choose to offer a retcon as an option for the victim. Retcons cannot be demanded from neither staff nor other Players.
8. All characters must be 18+: Role-playing minors or including them in your RP is not allowed.
9. Players can always fade to black: Scenes can always be ‘skiped’, but one cannot use fade to black to omit events and/or forego consequences. Scenes that were FtB’d still happened ICly
10. Use Role-play outfits realistically: Within Role-play at lest, if you are wearing thin cloth in the snow, even if your mechanical temperature is fine, your character would likely be cold. Horse riders can wear heeled boots to stay in their saddle, but walking through the desert with them would not be a good idea.

## **Immersion**

1. Player are always In-Character: Always priorities role-play with others over solo farming, try to RP most of your In-game actions and do not do anything your character would not. You don’t have to go crazy with it, but this approach makes RP a lot more fulfilling.
2. Us local for IC Speech and emotes: If you must say something OOCly, use a private channel like /w or clan chat.

## **Lore**

1. Server lore has priority: Over every outside source, server lore will always be number one. When in doubt always confirm whether or not something is relevant for server.
2. Suggestions: All opinions and Suggestions are welcomed, but forced visons about the lore we choose to apply on server are not.
3. Custom lore: Players can always express themselves through minor custom lore, such as small village names ect. As long as it doesn’t clash with known lore or server lore.
4. Knowing lore relevant to your culture is advised: This includes the reputation, alignment of races ect.. even as a human character.

## **Gameplay**

1. Followers may be used to Enhance Role-Play: Your NPCs can be used as real characters within Role-Play. However, you may not use them as a source of information, witnesses or as power-gaming tools. If your character can’t perform an action against another player, then neither can your follower/NPC.
2. Dice rolls within Game: Dice rolls should be performed through the Role-play mods we have in game. They are used for: resisting supernatural innate powers, skill checks for mechanics, such as lock picking, enhancing RP voluntarily, or in contest against another player as a mechanical combat alternative.
