« on: June 03, 2008, 08:40:07 pm »
Warning bad humor ahead!
I've compiled this guide with my two year plus experience and getting advice to write this guide. This is highly unbiased as possible to not start a flame war with our new uber 1337 friends. If any of our new friends wants a uber 1337 omg hax version feel free to contact. Also this guide will never be complete so feel free to add somthing along in your posts!
Input is always welcome.

Names
I am sick of Legolass , XxLegolassxX , XoXoLegolassoXoX, Legolassteh3rd, 0XSAURONX0, Chuck_Norris, Mr.1337, Mr.Anderson in other MMOS please have some imagination. Its not the name that makes you evil, its how you play it.
If you want to make a name that fits the settings dont use dark in your name either. Try to spend some time thinking it, at most give it two minutes, or you can use the name generator. If a fellow player sees a name like DarkGlassMan the chances of them RPing with you are going down the drain. If they run into Elroy Feros they may RP with you. The name is always the first impression.
Descriptions
Ah yes the fun part. It would be a wise idea to have two descriptions for a evil char, one for when he or she is evil and one when he or she is not.
Example: Char Description shorten for your enjoyment. This is what a good amount use, I used it when I was in TOY and got away with it.
Character Mode: Evil
Evil: A dark figure wearing a cloak and hood to conceal his identity
Good: A friendly looking Xacha with a happy grin and charming aura around him. He looks like the type you'd spend days chatting with.
Another side note, avoid using pale skin and glowing red eyes... It isnt quite fitting with the settings, on the other hand if your a Xacha they are pale and therefore you can get the evil look with bloodshot eyes! And transformations from what I have read aren't possible sorry Vampire and werewolf lover not in this game.
Etiquette
Alright this is when common sense comes into play. Would you rob a person in the middle of a plaza in real life? Please use some common sense especially when starting tavern fights in front of the guards outside. And also be fair and roll its not that hard agree on a number with your target and ask permission we dont need another guild house theft incident.
Example: At least give it a try like this
Newbie: [Hey can I try and pickpocket you?]
Player : [Hehe sure!]
Newbie: [So what number we roll to 1-49 YAY L007 for me nub! and 50-99 OMG I LOST HAX!?]
Player: [Uhh... Sure]
REMEMBER! To get you must give! You cant play god only the Devs and GMs can! Therefore your a mere mortal in the world of Yliakum. So no you cant play ironman or Legolass with his mysterious quiver of endless arrows. When you play god the RP fight lasts for hours believe me I spent about 4 hours in a fight until I finally gave up because it was 3 in the morning! It is much more interesting when both players take a hit or two.
And so newbie and player finally coexisted...
Mentors!
This is highly suggested and deserves its own section because its dire its followed! The greatest thing you can do to relieve alot of stress is learning from a experienced player how to RP evily in PS and win! YES WIN! They can teach you alot, I was taught by Rethius AKA Listbard and we are still in contact learning from each other how to RP better. So prowl the guild forums and look for a guild that suits your devious needs; who knows you may be the next person spinning in that dark leather chair leading a bunch of bandits.
