From 11/29/2023:
Announcements and Reminders (Part I):
On RPB Evaluations
We ask players to wait at least a 2 month (61 days) period between RPB evaluation requests, or RPB promotions. That is to say, if your RPB evaluation is denied, please give it some time before submitting another RPB evaluation request. Similarly, if you have been recently promoted to a higher RPB level, please give it some time before requesting an RPB evaluation. The only exception to this announcement would be for players seeking RPB 20. We expect consistent roleplay over a significant period of time for higher RPB levels, and believe a period of at least 2 months (61 days) between evaluations is a fair amount of time to show consistency.
As a reminder on RPB evaluations, giving specific examples on how your characters fulfill the requirements of the RPB level you are applying for, really helps us make the determination.
On Scroll Case/Spell Sequencer Stacking
There has been a fair amount of talk on how to stack scroll cases and spell sequencers in the Arelith Discord recently. Please note, scroll cases and spell sequencers are not intended to be stackable, and it is considered an exploit to stack these items in shops for the purposes of saving item slots.
Announcements and Reminders (Part II):
On Soliciting External Roleplay
A reminder to all players that soliciting for erotic, suggestive, or server policy breaking roleplay whilst on Arelith is a bannable offence (whether through tells or in character), as we have minors on the server. This is irregardless of whether the characters are Arelith based or characters which do not exist on Arelith, but are invented for outside roleplay. Soliciting for any kind of erotic, suggestive, or server policy breaking roleplay with Arelith as the platform to make the offer is strictly forbidden.
Example: If a player solicits server policy breaking roleplay with the characters "Bob" and "Sally" to another player, even if neither players have "Bob" or "Sally" in their vault, the act of using Arelith as a platform to solicit this type of roleplay is still actionable.
On Parties and Runic Shrines
Dropping from your party to loot a shrine is against the rules and considered an exploit. Players found engaging in this behavior may have the items gained deleted from their character.
On Death Memory
As a reminder, characters can not behave in such a way that they have the ability to avoid memory loss. Even if your chararcter might have access to information, as a player, you should know to refrain from using it in a way which circumvents memory loss or turns you into an investigator, detective or reliable source of information.
