The new Roleplay server for DAoC was announced today on the Camelot Herald and I kept it down to one post so all the information is at hand. Nimue should be live right now! Please read the following to see what is expected among these types of servers. Due to the ever-growing number of simultaneous logged into Camelot during peak times, we're launching a new roleplaying server this afternoon. The server is named Nimue, and should be available to you all by 4:00 eastern. As the number of Camelot's users grows, we'll be adding more servers to ensure that overcrowding is kept to a minimum. (by Matt Firor) With the addition of our new roleplaying server, Nimue, I wanted to take a moment to re-emphasize our roleplaying rules to everyone. These rules are in addition to the Rules of Conduct, and you must agree to them the first time you access one our DAoC’s roleplaying servers. Be aware that breaking any of these rules, can result in disciplinary action from warnings on your account, up to banishment from the server, or termination of your account. For example, any blatant violation of Rule #1 of the RoC Naming Policy will result in immediate banishment from the RP server as will multiple violations of the RP Server Naming Policy. These rules are enforced aggressively and are as follows: Roleplaying Server Addendum =========================== There are expanded rules in place that govern anyone playing on DAoC roleplaying servers. All rules from the DAoC Code of Conduct apply, as well as the following expanded rules: Naming Policy for Roleplaying Servers. ===================================== -All names must fit into the medieval setting. -All names must fit into the realm that you are playing in. -All policy enforcement for names on the roleplaying servers will be done aggressively by members of the DAoC CS staff, of Server Lead and higher authority. It is in Mythic's sole judgment whether a name breaks the policy, and we will rename characters accordingly. If you see someone with a name that obviously breaks the roleplaying ruleset, please report them. Communication Policy for Roleplaying Servers. ============================================= -All communication on the roleplay server must be appropriate for the medieval time-period (in-character). This means no talking about Soda-pop, Baseball, etc... -If a guild, group or person agrees that out-of-character communication is acceptable, then Mythic will not interfere with this decision within /Guild, /Group, /Friend or /Sends communication. There is never a time when out-of-character communication is acceptable in /Broadcast, /Say, or /Shout. -If someone is breaking the roleplaying communication policy on the server, you MUST ask them to stop before reporting them. If they stop when asked, and do not repeat their out-of-character communication, then the problem is solved and there is no need to contact customer support. If someone persists in breaking the roleplaying communication policy, then report them using the /Appeal command, and DAoC Customer Support will investigate. Event Interference on Roleplaying Servers. ========================================== -Any interference or disruption of scheduled events, whether run by players or by Mythic Staff, is strictly prohibited. If you cannot abide by these rules, DO NOT play on these (RP) servers. Mythic Entertainment has a strict policy of enforcement regarding these rules, and will not tolerate players coming to this server who do not or will not roleplay. Breaking any of the above rules can result in actions against your account to include warnings, banishment from the roleplay servers, suspensions, and even termination of your account (based on the severity of the violation). Thank you and have a great time roleplaying! )by Jeff Hickman)
