| |
| [[HELP Scroll]] - 4.1 Names
| |
| In the realm of Aetolia, we encourage you to put some thought into your
| |
| name, and avoid the embarrassment that comes later when your peers have
| |
| a good giggle at your expense. We realize sometimes it's hard to think
| |
| of a good name, so we have written the following as a simple guide!
| |
|
| |
| Good Names
| |
| --------------------
| |
| - Good names are those that you've created on your own. Unique
| |
| names that you've never seen before anywhere else.
| |
|
| |
| Acceptable Names
| |
| --------------------
| |
| - Acceptable names are those that you may have heard in real
| |
| life. Names such as Susan, Henry and so on.
| |
|
| |
| Unacceptable Names
| |
| --------------------
| |
| - Those names that we ask you to avoid are ones you may find in
| |
| any historical context, or ones you will find in a book or
| |
| anime. Other unacceptable names are those that are made of
| |
| compound words, such as 'Evilbloodsucker'.
| |
|
| |
| - In addition, names that are cursewords, racial slurs or
| |
| otherwise offensive names. Names that are completely
| |
| unpronounceable such as 'Xqtzrl' will also result in you being
| |
| requested to change your name.
| |
|
| |
| Whilst we realize that sometimes poor names will get through, this is
| |
| not an acceptable reason for refusing to change your name. If you are
| |
| asked to by a guide, Celani or Divine, it is expected that you will do
| |
| so.
| |
|
| |
| Choosing an imaginative and acceptable name will greatly increase your
| |
| experiences within the realm, and you will find your peers will have
| |
| much more time for you.
| |
|
| |
| If, after reading this, you wish to change your name, HELP NAMECHANGE
| |
| will explain the way in which to do it.
| |
| == Your Race ==
| |
| [[Races]] are crucial to consider for a good Roleplay experience in Aetolia, in addition to providing a handful of combat bonuses. Bare in mind that you are free to [[Reincarnate]] frequently as a true novice (Levels 1 to 10) so you can learn more before making this decision with finality. Additionally, all players get 1 free reincarnate after level 10 and more reincarnations can be purchased as artifacts.
| |
|
| |
|
| '''Unlike other Iron Realms Entertainment games, race does not dictate stats.'''
| |
|
| |
| == Your statpack ==
| |
| [[Stats]] are more important for combat than Roleplay; it's never bad practice to play your statpack (Intelligent Atavians should be well-educated while Resilient could be rather dim) but not required.
| |
|
| |
| == Tutorial Island ==
| |
| Dubbed [[Slaver's Isle]], this is where all novices usually should start off. It will gift participants some minor curatives, gold, and a [[robe|clothing]]. Also, you can freely choose a city and guild from the tutorial while doing so outside of it may be a slightly more arduous task.
| |
|
| |
| == Your Guild/House ==
| |
| Guilds are where you get your [[Class]], the three [[Skillsets]] which contain combat, utility and flavor skills of all sorts. Additionally, many guilds may grow to be like a second family, so this choice is important to your enjoyment of the game as a whole. Again, there is a lot of room to change as you're starting out. Changing guilds, even from one side of the Living/Undead conflict, is generally acceptable early on. Later, there will be lesson loss from dropping class, as much as 50% of class-skill lessons after [[gaining class]].
| |
|
| |
| Houses are similar, but all cater to non-Bloodborn vampires primarily. Non-vampire members in houses is uncommon in respectable houses. Bloodborn vampires are a guild, but are frequently members of houses as well.
| |
| == Your City ==
| |
| Your City is more likely than not the one your guild is attached to. If you're uncertain, you can use the command:
| |
| GNT Which city should I join?
| |
| after picking a guild. This will alert your guildmembers, if any of them are present, to your question. If no one is available to respond, any city available to pick will suffice.
| |
| However, here's a nice table for the Darkie side of the game:
| |
| Spinesreach:
| |
| Atabahi
| |
| Syssin
| |
| Cabalists
| |
| Sciomancers
| |
| Bloodloch:
| |
| All vampire houses
| |
| Indorani
| |
| Teradrim
| |
| Infernals
