Agreed.
Guys, stick to something that can be made sense of AND that goes with the RP.
As a reminder to everyone and header for future interested players :
1) a. Immortalus is unknown, nowhere to be found. It is like the El-Dorado! You cannot have been there or been born there in any way. Try not to break that rule in your description.
1) b. Your character arrives to Tenoth by boat, with little to no fame/experience. Please refrain from making 'Kings of thieves' and such. If you want to become one, you'll have to do it by yourself In Character.
2). The city you arrive in is not Immortalus, the sign on the wall is only a welcome to the Server. The name of the city is Tenoth.
3). There are 3 chat channels you should know : Local RP, Global RP and OOC.
Local RP is exclusively roleplay and In Character (IC). Only those close to you will be able to read what you say. To join it type /ch local. For quick OOC questions, use OOC or place your sentence in brackets like this : (( )) if in local.
Global RP is exclusively roleplay and should only be used for important official messages to be spread out or things such as someone screaming out loud. With Global, everyone in the world can read you. To join type /ch global or to type a quick message type /qm global (message)
OOC is the only place there should be Non-Roleplay and Out Of Charater discussions. To join it type /ch ooc or type /qm ooc (message) to quickmsg it.
Please try using the channel system accordingly.
Note : Try to refrain from using /me since it can be heard everywhere like global. Actions made by your character should be put between * * while in Local so that not everyone hears you are stabbing your beloved rival in a far away desert.
4). Everyone asks 'how do I buy a house?' in the city. Simple : get Iron and/or gold and pay one of the city prospects for a permanent household. Foutain district houses are more expensive and so will the new ones in front of the future townhall.
Also Remember : buying a house must be done In Character. Metagaming will not be tolerated.
The same IC buying rule is applicable to the Saxon and anywhere else.
4). Magic does NOT work as of the moment. We are working on it amidst trying to live, working on the city, advancing on the lore, making the server run, etc. It will work when it will work. Stop bugging Kevin AKA Immortalus or any mods to make it work.
5). This is not a freebuild server, it's a RP server. Constructions that are not approved of both IC and OOCly will be destroyed. If you want to suggest building something anywhere near the city please go ahead but make sure it is both necessary and fits with the theme. (Cobble boxhouses = NO)
We are currently working on Tenoth, and the underground city of the Dwarves. If you'd like to help any of those projects, it would be certainly appreciated.
6). We want serious roleplay. Try keeping correct grammar in both your description and when online and IC. Also, refrain from meta gaming as much as from mixing OOC and IC. One thing I've seen often is people phasing into OOC, moving somewhere, then going back into IC. Refrain from doing that, it's very unreal and anti-athmospheric. Another role of thumb is ; don't call people by their nicknames as if their names were stuck above their heads.
Ask their name IC, if you don't know it, then act as if you didn't.
7). Stealing is allowed. Grieving is not. When you steal, seriously, don't steal a whole chest. Choose the lightest of things ; A burglar can't bring 12 stacks of iron bars by himself. Also, don't break things/walls/buildings. The only situation this would be allowed is if you break into someone's house by breaking windows. Otherwise, use doors. Digging into a building is NOT realistic.
8). Killing. Very ambigiuous question. Killing should only be for IC reasons and should be given some Roleplay rather than outright rushing-killing-looting. A roleplayed battle is much more fun than just outright slapping someone with a diamond sword till he dies.
If you are killed, your 'respawn' is explained as if you fell unconscious and were brought back to the city. However if you died in a obvious IC way that you'd agree on or died by falling to everyone's sight, into a pit of lava... You are dead, not big surprise. Make a new character.
Remember, don't force actions on others. *Stabs the red skinned fiend in the ribs.* Is no good, *Attempts to stab the red skinned fiend in the ribs.* IS encouraged.
Try to remember these rules of thumb when playing, it can really help you, us, me, them all have fun together on the server.
Thank you for your consideration.

Sorry but we've been busy on the server, from what I see your app is ok. the story makes it hard for me to say yes or no to, so I'll ask the others. I'm not really sure what they'll say so you may want to at least think about a new story.
