If you are a returning player and your character, which was approved under the old rules, now has a race or class that is on the banned or bugged list, please contact me, DM Silver. Your character will be allowed (grandfathered in). In the meantime, please play as usual we just need to know that this is a previously approved build.
Game Mechanics - Do not taking advantage of a script that you may have found to be faulty, report it.
PRC Crafting - no PRC crafting of items is allowed that do not meet the limits of the item restriction section.
Teleporting - We have the ability to stop teleporting in dungeons but have not. Please wait till after all monsters are gone before teleporting out.
Player Names - You can have one, two or three names but they must be reasonable. No names related to characters from books, movies, gods, nobility titles and no goofball names.
Bringing over a beloved PC to this server - As this topic has been raised, if you have a beloved PC you played elsewhere it is great to give him/her a new home. However we all start from the same point. You must remake your character at the beginning level with only the beginner gear. Even if your PC had great wealth, goods, assets etc elsewhere, they have to rebuild their life here from scratch having lost all somehow. As per our standard names rule, no nobility titles.
Playing Chaotic/Evil - If you want to play chaotic or evil, there are in-game consequences if you are caught.
PvP/PvE - Although Player versus Player combat is allowed it is NOT encouraged. It can only be conducted if both parties agree. You might be asked to RP it using dice rolls (stats/spells/saves) in a turned based way by a Dm or players can use agreed upon stats/spells/saves rolls. If you do not wish to pvp then you must leave the area, rp walking away. If you do agree to pvp, at this point set your pc to hostile. Please be mindful of the sensitivities of others. PVP does not mean you repeatedly harrass or bully other players unless they are comfortable with this sort of gameplay. As you get to know other players you will also get to know who is and who isn't comfortable with this rp.
Multiclassing - You must have at least 5 levels in each class by the time you reach level 20. You can increase levels as you see fit. and exceed 5 levels in each class. If you are multiclassing into epic levels, a build such as 7/10/x where there is no way you would get 5 levels in the 3rd class, that is fine because the first two classes taken exceed the rule of 5. The third class must then be worked on exclusively until 5 levels are reached.
Metagaming - is using OOC information in an IC way to gain an unfair advantage in game. We all slip up and at times type something we do not mean to, this rule refers to intentional metagaming.
Muling - You cannot transfer items from one of your characters to another.
Use of Channels - Please use the “Talk or Whisper” channel in game. The “Party” channel is for DM events, however if you would like to hook up to chat or reach out to include other players that is fine. The “Shout” channel is for DMs only.
Adult Content - We expect that anything above the PG13 level would be agreed to by all the parties involved and conducted in whispers or in tells if others are about. Any graphic content between players is between them and them alone and is not the concern of nor responsibility of the Admin or DM Staff but fair warning, please ensure the person with whom you are role playing is of age for the level of role play.
Please be respectful of the sensitivities of other players and all adult rp is to be conducted in private.
Privacy - Your PC housing is considered strictly private and that will be respected. You can request it be teleport proof. No DM OR PLAYER is to enter PC housing by any means without the owner's permission. No staff member is going to lurk in an inn room, spa areas or camp sites, etc. We do not keep a server log.
Rulers - No player can be a ruler ie: King, Regent etc. nor can they own exterior areas. They do have PC housing as listed above which is their property. This rule is because what we allow for one player, must be available to all. Players can become merchants, crime bosses etc. and have minions (other players) but this is something agreed upon between the various parties.
Familiars in Town(s) - do not enter any town with a creature that may reasonably be considered evil or dangerous. Unless you are well known, the authorities will consider your familiar a threat.
Weapons in Town(s) - are considered to be peace knotted when a player is in town.
Wearing a Helm in Town(s) - You will be looked at closely and then likely asked to remove it. If you PC must hide then wear a hood or dress like a monk, or something else common place.
NPCs - Players should consider that any NPC in the area has a chance to see, hear and report you as in a real world.
Jail - is considered to be magic proof. Your character will be considered stripped of all belongings via RP.
Death - When you die you have four choices.
1. No xp loss till level 10, afterwards 50 xp per level. There is a 10% gold loss.
2. Wait for someone to find you and raise.
3. Respawn but DO NOT leave the death plane or talk to the spirit. Log off from the death plane. After the server restarts you will log in the welcome area, alive and well.
4. We have a corpse system by which you can hit repawn and go to the Death Plane but wait there. If you are in party and traveling with others, they can take your corpse to the temple in Harrowport to raise without xp loss.
OOC Rescue - Please do not send a tell to a friend OOC who has no in-game reason to know where you are, to come raise you.
Permadeath - There is no permadeath, however a player can ask for his/her PC to be permadeath if they fall in an event.
Penalties - A player will receive two warnings for violations of any rule. On the third they will receive a temporary ban. A permanent ban cannot be made by one DM alone but after careful consideration.
Conflict Resolution - If you have a conflict while playing that you wish to bring to our attention, contact Silver. Please if at all possible include a screenshot. Do not attack or damage the server and non-hostile npcs, factions get broken, server could crash and it is disturbing to players and against common server etiquette.
DMs - In any situation the DM on-line has the final say. If you disagree with an on-line call you can contact Silver. DO NOT get in a fight with the DM on-line.
There is NO application process for making prc races/classes. Please check the forum however for a list of banned or bugged races and classes. Please do not make these. Also a player cannot have more than 3 prc characters active at one time.
