 Guidelines for Role Playing in
Phantasy RPG 
First of all welcome to Phantasy RPG and thank you for your interest in
the Role Playing (RP) Aspect of the game. After a long day of battling
monsters, mining or even smithing its fun just to relax in the tavern.
These guidelines are to help you get the most out of your RP
experience, and have the most fun in the tavern, or other chat rooms.
Guidelines for Role Play (General)
1. What happens in Real Life stays in Real
Life.
Leave all real life problems or relationships with other players
outside of the chat room. DO NOT
bring issues with players in Real Life with you into an RP session.
This often generates a lot of headaches for you, other players and the
helpers. Also DO NOT use
players' real names in chat, unless they wish them to be known by all.
2. What happens in RP stays in RP.
Leave all RP problems or relationships with other players inside of the
RP session. Relationships with other players are fine but should ONLY be developed with mutual
consent of both players. And the relationship should only leave the RP
session ONLY IF both players
mutually agree. This also includes anything said between characters in
the chat, do not take anything said about your character personally,
and DO NOT use your character
as a shield to make personal attacks on others.
3. Get on with it!
If a player is causing trouble let the helpers handle it! Don't have
your character attempt a sort of vigilante justice by bringing his
sword across the offenders' head. Also once a problem has been
resolved, DROP IT AND MOVE ON,
there is no need to stretch any argument an extra 20 – 30 posts. Just
move on and continue with the RP please.
4. Don't God RP.
Try to keep things reasonable in RP in respect to character level and
ability. A level 5 Novice does not have the ability to walk through
walls or dodge swords with ease. And they most certainly cannot
threaten to draw steel on a level 67 Fighter, and expect to be the
victor. Now for some higher level characters it is perfectly acceptable
to have a few powers, in fact for example a level 93 Wizard would be
able to teleport short distances and perform magic with ease due to
training and experience.
5. Never involve other characters' actions
with your own WITHOUT consent.
Don't type “I cut Billy's head clean off.” or “I pick up Billy and
bring him over to the door.” But instead try “I slash my sword toward
Billy's head.” and let Billy decide if the blow made contact.
6. Let people know you are speaking In or Out
of Character.
This one is important as it helps players know whether to have the
character respond or themselves (the characters might hate each other
but the players are good friends). General rule of thumb is all actions
and text in italics are considered In Character while regular text is
considered Out of Character. Also typing OOC: before you speak out of
character also helps considerably.
7. Be courteous to other players.
Be courteous and respectful to other players, this includes actions and
spoken words. Also try to keep the language clean and age appropriate,
we have individuals of all ages viewing this site so please keep it
clean. Also remember Dusk does read over the chat logs, so please be
nice.
8. Don't bring any outside knowledge into the
RP.
If your character was not there or was not told by someone whom was,
then your character does not know it. This includes information found
in character profiles, books from the library or book store, lurking in
another RP but not playing, or reading a transcript of a RP that has
already happened.
9. Ask before you RP.
If you enter a chat room and two or more individuals are involved in a
RP, DO NOT just jump in. In an
OOC: message ask if you can join first. Just jumping in at a critical
moment can upset the RP in progress and become a problem. So remember
ASK before you join an RP.
Now that we have the general guidelines out of the way lets move on to
someways that one can improve their RP experience in a few simple ways.
1. Have a
trademark
First pick a trait that your character has and run with it in the chat.
This could range from magical powers (if the class supports it) and
certain item (like flask or jeweled goblet) or even an accent (like
Scottish) and try to use it as much as possible.
2. Be as
Descriptive as possible but within reason.
Try to write more than “hi” when you enter the tavern. Briefly describe
how your character enters the tavern and maybe announces their
presence. But don't write an entire book or thesis on how your
character enters, keep it descriptive and brief.
Examples:
- Bad: Athrun_Nailo: Hi wuz up peeps.
- Good: Action: *Athrun_Nalio
walks into the tavern and takes his usual seat at the bar. On his way
in he gives everyone in the tavern a polite wave with his paw.*
3. Have
backstory and a description.
Write down little bits and pieces about your character and try to
emphasis them when ever possible. Things like scars, hair (or fur)
color, or features also help set the tone of the game. Also having a
history can determine why your character will act a certain way.
Try to follow the above guidelines your RP experience will be
heightened and more enjoyable. Not only for you but for the other
players of the game.
Now good luck and happy RPing.

| pRPG Supports Firefox and Chrome |
PhantasyRPG runs best on the Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox Browsers!
From gameplay to browsing the chatrooms and many things to see in PhantasyRPG, the most successful route to take is to use either the Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome browsers.
Gameplay is more functional and smooth, more visual effects are applied and accessible, and overall, the speed seems to be much faster with these browsers.
Currently, the game is accesible in Internet Explorer, but there are compatibility issues with some options in the game with IE7 and earlier versions. IE8 seems to be quite smooth, but if any issues arise with the layouts and such, IE8 has a "Compatibility Mode" button just next to the address bar within.
If you are an Internet Explorer user, we recommend downloading and installing the latest version, being IE8, or try one of the alternatives, being Firefox or Chrome, if you have any issues viewing the game.
Click here to download the Mozilla Firefox Browser ----> Mozilla Firefox
Click here to download the Google Chrome Browser ---> Google Chrome
Upgrade to the latest version of Internet Explorer ---> Internet Explorer 8
