Language -
English is the server language. Keep all non-english chatting limited to PM's.
Don't use internet acronym's IC.
- e.g: "Hi, do u want 2 lvl up with me, plz? lol."
Keep Kydor a friendly environment suitable for all ages. Extremely harsh or graphic language will not be allowed. Choose creative alternatives to cursing such as feck, arse and nutse.
------------------------
Player versus Player / Character versus Character conflict -
PvP is allowed on Kydor, encouraged under the right circumstances, infact. But please keep in mind there are players who dedicated time to their characters, PvP should not be taken lightly.
Non-RP PvP is illegal and should not be done, griefing is also highly illegal and a bannable offense. Giving fellow players grief because of petty squabbles ruins the fun for all and the server is about enjoyment.
PvP / CvC must be requested beforehand, no conflict is to take place without a DM present and without their consent.
Don't kill others because of them giving you an odd-look, called you a silly name, or 'cause your just an evil ******* - there will be options to be just as evil by murdering NPC's and whatnot. Nor because your a cleric and can merely raise them afterward.
PvP / CvC should help to develop RP, not destroy or ruin it for people. Make sure you have good reason for it and other plausible options have been considered.
------------------------
Problems / Complaints -
If any problems with players occur while playing on Kydor, please leave the OOC conflict aside and contact a DM whenever possible to resolve the problem.
Remember: Your ruining everyone's fun if you the conflict is brought to OOC, this isn't tolerated, we want people to enjoy themselves on the server. If you do contact a DM, please keep as calm as possible. If your going a mile a minute it will be difficult for a DM to resolve the problem.
If any other problems should occur, just contact a DM.
Screenshots help -alot- during such conflicts, it helps separate fact from fiction, be sure to take some if things get really bad.
------------------------
Roleplaying -
Keep IC at all times - a little OOC is fun every now and then, but try not to make a habit of it.
Keep to your character, act and do as they would say, using alignment as a guideline. I don't beleive a chaotic evil will -always- commit evil acts, perhaps common sense made them choose differently. Nor will lawful good always obide the law, sometimes they must act outside of it to do good.
Although do try and keep as close to your alignment as possible.
The server is for roleplayers, the good and the bad, it is the effort that counts here, afterall. If you put in the effort to roleplay, then you'll be rewarded.
------------------------
Character Creation -
This server uses CEP and 1.50 patch, please stick to default NWN head models and head models provided by CEP. If any others are used you'll be asked to remake the character.
Custom voice sets are fine, aswell as portraits, although keep it within reason. No halflings with dragon portraits nor voice sets... No custom-looks without DM permission, we don't want to see characters running around with wings and whatnot - we know there are external programs to allow this and we're telling you now: They are not allowed.
------------------------
Tweaking, Twinking, Meta-gaming and Powerplaying -
-No Tweaking
This means no giving your +5 Longsword you just found to that OOC mate of yours that just joined the server. If your going to give gifts, make sure there is good reason too IC and that the person is at a suitable level for it (e.g. Giving a +5 Longsword to a level 2 player is not acceptable).
-No Twinking
If your found transfering gold from one character to another, you will be warned. Second offense will be deletion of the character, third will be a ban. Depending upon the seriousness of these rules, you could be instantly banned without warning - cheating is not taken lightly.
-No Meta-gaming
This also means you cannot use OOC knowledge of the server to benefit you IC. What you happen to know OOC should not effect how your character reacts.
- e.g: If a level 9 cleric logs onto the server and you happen to find yourself dead, you cannot PM the person for a raise, nor if someone of importance is assassinated and you know who done it OOC, you can't use that information IC to find out.
Although there is the characters name floating about them, IC that does not exist. If the person is in disguise, you couldn't possibly know it is them, don't meta-game by using this OOC knowledge IC.
-No Powerplaying
Crawling can be fun, we all do it, but constant crawl runs with minimum to no RP is not acceptable on Kydor. There will be a good variety of places to level your character, as killing stuff is a big factor of NWN and something we like to do while playing, but be sure not to spend all your time in dungeons, you aren't offering much to the server or players by spending your time there.
