|  | [[PlaneShift]] is an immersive role playing experience, all players are expected to respect thisfact. When one speaks in the main chat window, it isetiquette to make a distinction between how the person sitting at the computer would respond to an in game situation and how a character living in [[Yliakum]] would respond to an in game situation. When a player is logged on as a character they are expected to only speak as their character at all times.

|  | The only exception, which should be used only sparingly, is properly done in brackets as in:[Friend, why is my screen black?].Anything the human being at the computer who lives on Earth says goes inside brackets. Everything the character in the game who lives in [[Yliakum]]says can be said in main chat.

|  |   |  | 
|  | Generally when one is speaking in his group, or telling someone, OOC is permitted but customs on thisvary, tread lightly. Respect and understanding isexpected ofall players.

|  |   |  | 
|  | In order to avoid speaking OOC aplayer must understand what it is to be "[[In Character]]", or IC.
