Events
Seems the lack of posting has caused all events to be put on hold until further notice. We need to be more active, people.

Plot Progress
Treasure chests have started appearing in towns, though they are rare. Now, an admin has disappeared without a trace and a virus has escaped The World! More info can be found here!

General Rules

They are simple, so don't forget them.

1. Keep it pg-13
2. Spamming, thread bumping, and advertising is not permitted (unless specified)
3. Keep the drama out. We don't need it here.
4. Respect everyone. Period.

Roleplaying Rules

1. No god-modding; you can only control your character(s)
2. Trying and use descriptive words (we like detail)
3. Be sure your character(s) have SOME weakness
4. Try to not post really short, but also try to not post really long.
5. Try and stay a little active. This means a couple posts a day at LEAST. If you are going to be gone for a while, let us know.
6. Only one character per account is permitted to keep the RPG hack in check. If you would like to create another character, please make a new account, then let an admin know who you are. Also, all new characters must start at The World entrance.
7. The RP of this site is paragraph style, that is, story style. Description is HIGHLY ENCOURAGED.
8. You CANNOT, under any circumstances, be in two places at once. If your character is in a dungeon, that is the only place they are. You cannot multiple post in two places. (Gamma allows this as it does not involve the story.)
9. The story proceeds in a way that involves everyone. Excessive posting is not permitted. All incidences of this will be discussed in the dA chat before action is taken. (Gamma allows this as it does not involve the story.)

Signature Notes

To make this site more MMO-esque, all signatures must include current equipment in them. As long as you have that, you are permitted to have anything else you want in your sig. ^^

Signature Coding
Code:
[b]Current Equipment[/b]
Weapon:
Armor:
Pet:
Current Skills:


NOTE: For now, as there are not official equipment, simply put "none" in armor and pet. For weapon, here is the list that all players begin with.

Longarm: basic spear
Wavemaster: basic staff
Blade Master: basic sword
Heavy Blade: basic heavy blade
Twin Blade: basic knuckles
Heavy Axeman: basic axe

As the site update, simply put the name of the item in the spot.

Event Sign-ups

Also, after the first event has been tested, it has come to my attention that events take much longer than I originally thought. So, from now on, when an event is announced, you must sign up to participate in it.

After you sign up, you can take as much time as you need to run the dungeons. The sign up is not part of the RP, so you can just come in, sign up, and leave. The sign up time limit will be about three days, so that should be plenty of time to get in.

Once sign ups are completed, no one else may sign up after the sign ups are closed. After you sign up, the event dungeons will be open forever until you run through them once. After the event dungeon is closed from your running through it, you cannot go back in.

Sign up threads will be in the root towns of servers.

NPS: next post suggestion

To prevent the story from moving too fast, after your post, you must post a suggestion of who can post next after. This suggestion should come in the form of a parenthesied phrase listing the names of who would fit to post next.

Use common sense. If you are talking to a specific PC, their name should be the only one in the NPS (next post suggestion). If you are talking to more than one PC directly, post those two names. If you are addressing no one in particular, chose a PC.

No more than two names should be inside the NPS. If you are addressing the entire group, you are permitted to open posting to anyone. A NPS that states this should look like so: (open post!)

Open post means that anyone in the thread is allowed to post. If members of the thread are not all in the dA chat, the first post will be accepted. If all members are in the dA chat, we will discuss who posts next.

An open post can only be implemented once per page. If the open post for the page has not been used, it does not carry over.
