These are our courtesy rules for RP and the most basic etiquette ground rules.

1 Respectful

IC & OOC harmful abuse and bullying, including but not limited to targeted forms of abuse such as racism and homophobia, will not be tolerated in the community. This rule applies everywhere - the client, the forum, the Discord server and any other areas the community gathers. Individuals decide between each other what they deem kind, respectful, or a form of abuse. 

If you feel that someone has OOC threatened you or harmed you, please approach any community leadership you feel the need/comfort to at the earliest chance. 

Please do not let issues fester. 

           We care.

2 Realistic

We do not mean realistic to Earth. 

You are on Azeroth now. 

Or Draenor. 

You’re in a drinking contest in Boralus with a Dwarf and a Kul Tiran.

Be realistic to where your character is and who your character is with. It is a-okay that you aren’t a World of Warcraft universe expert.

3 Reasonable

Make reasonable choices when RPing. This goes hand-in-hand with realism; you have to ask yourself questions about your character, then make decisions from there. It’s an empathy game, trying to fit into your character’s shoes.

Negative emotions and events can shape a character in ways a walk in the park won’t. 

We encourage you to temper your posts with reason by asking yourself things like:

• Would my character actually be scared right now? How would that affect my character’s next actions?

• What is the IC culture of the individual my character is speaking to? Does my character know this?

• What would the legal implications of this be in the Warcraft universe?

• Does your character know the information they are acting on, or are you acting as an OOC entity?

4 Responsive

There are a few things to touch on here:

• Write bits of your posts before your turn comes to help speed up combat

  • Your clipboard is your best friend! Fn+v on some computers

• If you need to step away, please let the DM know either via voice or DMs

• Write posts that invite others to respond or end in open ended questions 

5 Responsible

Just like the other people you’re RPing with are a part of your universe, you are a part of theirs. Immersion goes both ways.
