Basic In Character Rules of Thumb

Here is some Basic In Character Rules that are mainly rules of thumb for the average or experienced role player.

This is meant as a small guide to help new Role-players not run into troubles. Mistakes happen but do try to keep thes ein mind while Role-playing!

* No sexual content allowed within the discord or in game within public chats or outside of whisper/party/DM chat. If screen shots or complaints are made about you for this reason you will be questioned and possibly removed from the community as this does break TOS.
* If you have to go to Goldshire please make sure you have War Mode turned on if you plain on Role-Playing there. If you cannot turn it on and your just leveling then try to avoid the place as much as you can and try not to be inside the GS inn with the guild tag on. If I get screen shots of you in GS without WM on standing in the Inn you will be questioned and possibly removed. The reason for this is that it is a well known hub for Trolls and Toxic player as well as predators.
* No god-modding. God-modding is when you make your character god-like and all knowing like a Mary Sue almost. Also it should be noted that if you're in a Role-Play with someone and want to auto-hit an attack, make sure you have PERMISSION from the person you're Role-Playing with. This also means that you're not allowed to control other characters unless allowed by the user, along with no god complexes for the people controlling them.

***For example:***

**Good:** "Ash threw a punch Drew's way and hoped it would hit."

**Bad:** "Ash punched Drew in the face."

**Really, really bad:** "Ash punched Drew in the face and Drew flew backwards, his jaw dislocated. Drew then fell over and began crying like the little girl he was."

* Do not kill someone's character unless they have given you permission.

* No Metagaming- Metagaming is when you make your character know information I.Cly about other peoples character without them finding out I.Cly, if it is said to be public information that is different. However if your just looking though someone's profile and reading things on their character it doesn't mean your character would know that information.
* Please try to keep a general posting order when posting in events. That means if there are 3 people in a Role-play event, the people reply in the order they joined the RP. This gives everyone a chance to RP and feel like they are part of the RP rather then being ignored
* Try not to mix O.O.C with I.C. Meaning if you...

1. Make your character do things because O.O.Cly you feel upset.
2. O.O.Cly you know something about a player O.O.Cly and or if your character 'knows' things about someone's character that is o.o.c information.
3. You are simply acting like your character would do something based off something you only know O.O.Cly.

All of those things listed would all count as dragging O.O.Cly to I.C and can also come off as meta-gaming. Keep in mind that sympathizing with characters situations is alright but, your character is just your character hate and anger I.Cly over a situation should not turn into hate and anger for the person O.O.Cly.

Saying all this you can choose to ignore/void Role-play's with people whom you do not want to Role-play with- that is different and would only be a O.O.C situation in this case.

And here that is some IC guidelines to make RP fun for everyone!
