Out of Character or OOC as it is commonly referred, is what it sounds like, speaking while in game as if you are not in it.
Examples of OOC speech are: lol, haxxor, ;P, lagging, l33t, any mentions of game mechanics, as in "d00d why's my screen black?" and anything remotely like any of these.
PlaneShift is an immersive role playing experience, all players are expected to respect this fact. When one speaks in the main chat window, it is etiquette 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 this vary, tread lightly. Respect and understanding is expected of all players.
In order to avoid speaking OOC a player must understand what it is to be "In Character", or IC.
