On the subject of Roleplay and newbies:
Is ignorance an excuse if a player breaks other rules? Say someone, relatively new, finds an infinite trias glitch, and exploits it to no end, filling the economy with duped trias. Is ignorance an excuse, then, because they didn't know that it was against the rules to exploit bugs?
Personally, I have no sympathy for the people who don't know the rules, as long as those rules are easy to access (planeshift's are online, are they not?).
Hey, maybe an OOC room before you enter the actual world, with the rules on a nice sign? Each time you logged on, you'd be there, before going into some portal to Planeshift itself. Rules would be easy to read, first timers would be asked to read them
And people could chat, if they wanted, entirely OOCly, in that room. It'd work, certainly...
