Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

**Q: What is Titanic Voyage (RPG)?**

**A:** Titanic Voyage (RPG) is a realtime, 8 day long free in-browser game.

It starts on April 10th with the launch of the RMS Titanic and ends on April 18th with the Carpathia's arrival in New York City.

The game is 2D and communication is text based. It has MANY features and gives you the ability to explore not only most locations on the Titanic, but also the ports that Titanic’s passengers left. Southampton, Cherbourg and Queenstown! You can only explore the port your character has been registered to board from.

**Q: How do I register/are there any openings?**

**A:** On March 10th, the site will be updated and you will have the ability to register! Registration is simple. You can register as either a historical or fictional character. Note that you need an email and a photo (faceclaim) ready. Upon registering, **you will receive an email with your boarding pass(word) and you will use that in order to join when the game begins!**

For the critical crew members such as officers and the captain, you will only be able to play if your application is accepted. If it's your first time, it's recommended to play a fictional character.

The player/character limit is 3,707. We have never reached the overall limit, but the first class cabins go quick. It’s first come first serve.

**Q: What timezone is the game in?**

GMT (London) time.

**Q: What if I can’t board in time?**

**A:** No worries! If you aren’t there to manually board and log on later, you will get a prompt telling you that Titanic has already launched. In order to join, you only need to click “I still want to board.”

Note that it also applies to boarding the Carpathia. You don't have to stay all the way till her arrival if you survived, because you will be teleported anyway.

**Q: Can I choose to survive the sinking?**

**A:** No. Those odds are entirely dependent on history. On the night of the sinking, the lifeboats will be launched and depending on your character stats (gender, age, class etc) you will have your odds of survival either raised or lowered. This is also depending on which boat you're near.

You can join a boat queue, but only a limited amount. If you receive a message saying that you have a chance to board, you can chose yes or no.

If you chose yes, then you will be given a countdown until you're put onto the boat. If you click no, then the prompt will go to someone else in the queue.

**Q: I haven't gotten an email confirmation! What do I do?**

**A:** go to the passenger list, find your character and click **"Resend Email."** Enter your email and you should receive a message shortly!

**Q: What time does the boarding/sinking/etc happen in my time?**

**A:** You can use this to see the exact timing. Insert your time zone in the **top right.**

**Q: Are animal characters allowed/do they get banned from lifeboats?**

**A:** Yes, they are allowed. No, they are **not** banned from the boats. From the devs: "There is no formal system to ban animals from boarding lifeboats. They have just as much chance as anyone else. In the past it had been viewed as a gentleman’s agreement to not put an animal in a boat, but it does and has happened. There has been talks in the past of such a system but it is NOT there yet. There is a new system this year true but animals are NOT banned. Had that been true the devs would have made an announcement BEFORE registration."

**Q: How do I get money in the game?**

**A:** You can get money by playing card games, or if you don't want to play card games, wait until the next day as money is added onto everyone every night.

**Q: Do I get starting money on April 10th?**

**A:** Yes, each player is given money specific to their class.

**Q: Are chat logs saved?**

**A:** Yes, once the rpg ends, you can view them via the "history" tab, if you want to look further, you can check the tab titled "Archive".
