PlaneShift was mentioned as "roleplaying supporting" or "roleplaying related" game.
Never as a "roleplaying enforcing" one.
Laanx => SkyLab => ZeroPing is the server where roleplaying is "allowed and preferred", not "the only exclusively correct form of enjoying the game".

LOL! This is the most I have heard about rules with guild houses...
...
Sounds like Wayward Kingdom will loose their house the next time they get robbed
Gloating and sneering. Are you proud of it? Are your parents proud of you?
From
http://www.planeshift.it/policies.html" Roleplay Policy
In Character (IC) means to act, speak and behave like your character will do, not you as a player will do - also known as roleplay. An example of IC (In-Character) speech is: "Hello traveller, did you hear any news about Hydlaa these days?"
Out Of Character (OOC) is when you are speaking with a GM, or when you speak of any real life events/matters. An example can be: "GM, my client is acting strangely, is there a patch to fix it?"
Remember to act in-character as much as possible when talking to others! We are all working towards a Roleplay atmosphere in PlaneShift.
OOC should be used only in /tell with a GM, in the help channel or in petitions. All other communications have to be IC. OOC text should be designated with brackets - [ ] - as regular text comes from the mouth of your character, who knows nothing about computers, video games, the internet, or Picasso. Read the Setting for official information about the world your character belongs to - and while your character can certainly come from another "plane" outside of it, don't do something outrageous like try to bring in "roleplay" guns. Keep with the medieval fantasy atmosphere as much as you can.
The game is about roleplay, so part of the rules are to encourage or "enforce" it as smoothly as possible. The freedom of everyone has to be respected as long as it doesn't come in the way of someone else's, with a priority on the RPG style. The name policy, the content of the dialogs and the online activities are concerned with this issue.
The language in-game is English. You may use other languages in private messages like /tell, or in guild chat. This allows all the players in the game to interact with each other regardless of where they are from - and prevents the separation of the community into groups based on nationality."
Sorry LigH you're wrong. But imo that page needs to be corrected.
And by the way, yes, his father was proud of him. He laughed when I told him his son was banned for robbing digital guildhouses. Not even kidding, first reaction was laughter. He then said "oh well, what'd you expect? Plenty more games like that around though isn't there?" (he assumed bans were permanent)
