A player's guide to understanding IC (In Character) vs OOC (Out of Character) interactions .
Joining a new gaming community always takes some time to get used to, especially when the main focus of those communities can be different: Pvp, Rp, Social or any combination of those or others. What is said and done Out Of Character should not mix or affect what is said done and emoted In Character. Each player should do their best to not mix the two.
Out of Character
- Everything said and done as a player that is not considered roleplay.
- Every OOC comment should be marked as such, either with dialogue beginning with // or contained within (( ))
- OOC comments and chatter should be kept to a minimum in public, whether as a "talk" or a "whisper", because it can be disruptive to roleplay immersion.
- Don't go out of your way to abuse IC interactions, turning your ooc disagreements in character or bully players you might have a problem with.
- Sending a "tell" is an easy way to communicate with others, usually oocly; however, it should not be done to excess. Most players have a note in their bio noting whether they appreciate tells for whatever stated reason, or outright will ignore them. Sending repeated and unwanted tells is considered harassment.
In Character
- Everything which is done by your character, whether mechanically within the game engine or by emoting. What your character says and the action your character says is considered as IC.
- Character speech and action tend to be differentiated in a few popular ways, either by enclosing speech in "quotations", or by enclosing action in *asterisks*
