You are encouraged to get together with other players and form new IC groups.  Most RP groups MUST be started and recruited for through IC means.  You can NOT advertise for these groups (usually factions and guilds, parties, or cults) on the forum, over the channels, or through any other OOC medium.

However, it is sometimes appropriate to recruit other players into groups through OOC. These types of groups include families, related characters, and clans.  Members in these groups will have a shared background, so it is important to be able to work out the details before jumping straight into the game.

If you are interested in forming this type of group, you must remember that:

  • You cannot use a pre-made or current character.  You will have to create a new character or you may apply for a custom character.
  • You should keep all OOC to a minimum as much as possible.  Do not leak IC information from the game world, current events, or other groups in your posts.
  • In your posts, try to be general and do not talk about any specifics, such as character names, special properties of the group, or anything that would immediately identify you in the game world.
  • You may have people interested in joining your group contact you for more information.  This is intended to allow you to describe your group concept a little more fully and to help set up play times, and nothing more.  You are encouraged to use PMs on the forum, mudmail, or go to an OOC area.
  • You are encouraged to work out the details of your group (such as family ties, shared background events, or unique group-wide quirks) before making your characters.
  • Get creator permission before hand for anything that would require custom objects or assistance. If you are looking to form a new IC group, but are in doubt about whether or not it would be appropriate to advertise on the OOC boards, do not hesitate to ask a creator or mentor. To make a post about an IC group, you can use the OOC boards or the forum on the website.  Your post should include:
    1. Creation time and location (when you expect to create the group and where interested players should enter the world with their new characters)
    2. A short description of the group concept.  Limit this to one paragraph.
    3. If applicable, you can mention play-time restrictions.
    4. If you provide contact information, please limit it to a forum PM and/or mudmail address.
