[size=4][b]In Character Rules for Game and Forums[/b][/size] [size=3]ShadeFell is primarily a social multiplayer game with mechanics that allow for intimate interaction between characters. It does not matter if you're playing a good guy or a bad guy, every other character you meet has a real person behind it.[/size] [size=3]Be true to your race. When building a character, do some research, read up on the lore, understand the nation and nationality, and stay with that - it makes for a much more enjoyable experience for everyone. Attempts made to stay within norms for national dress, actions, and character will be encouraged, and polls with prizes for a range of best characters will be carried out regularly.[/size] Keep your character names true to the nationality you have chosen. Any ridiculous character names such as "XX ROBOT KILLZ U XX" or use of actual celebrity names will result in a forceful change of the offending character name by Administrators. Remember: Bad things happen in a lawless world, whatever happens it's pixels on a screen. ShadeFell is a game, just like any other form of entertainment, and you're role-playing a character. You can always turn off and walk away. It's not real life.
