OOC Guidelines

Immersion
You must play a character that makes sense in the world of Meranthe, where certain concepts wouldn't get a pass... such as being a person trapped in a video game or a princess from another kingdom. Obvious references to media or purposely off putting actions may lead to a warning. Take your character and others seriously and do not joke post/break the fourth wall to the point it becomes annoying. 

Try your best to stay in-character and to avoid excessive OOC communication, especially during scenes that require focus. LOOC should generally only be used to provide key information to aid the roleplaying of players.

Metagaming
Do not use information acquired OOCly to your IC advantage, or spread IC information OOCly. As a player in the game, if you suspect someone of metagaming, please quietly inform a moderator. This also includes taking what might be a very small hint and 'correctly' assuming the truth, or going out of your way to spread misbegotten information in a poor, low effort sort of way. Letters and similar actions can’t be used to call for backup/inform other players of the events of a scene in progress.

Alt Interaction
Sharing items and coins between your own characters is alt interaction. This extends to property you used on a previous character. Examples of alt interaction include using an alt account to gather materials, then handing them off to your main account, or those with links to the character. In general, the minimum punishment for alt interaction (depending on context) is the stripping of all items of value on your person and (in the case of using a lot from your prior character) the items in that lot.

Only you should have access to your own account, and roleplay as your character. This includes PvP Battles. It's an immediate ban if your IP is flagged, and siblings or people you live with are also treated as alts for the sake of ease of moderation; treat them as such.

Spam/Plagiarism 
Do not copy text to grind for EXP or solo post purely for level. Examples of things that fall under this are copying wiki articles, the same post over-and-over, long series of random characters, or rapid posts that do not interact with others. This is a bannable offense & we are alerted when it happens.

AI Policy
Any usage of AI in relation to content in game or on the forums is prohibited. This includes using AI to generate or "refine" your roleplay text or any description of something in game (as well as applications), using AI generated photos for character mini-descriptions or full descriptions (playbys), or in-game sprites. Overall, the intended nature of this rule is to keep AI out of the game. Take pride in your work and characters!
