Support and Assistance Section Rules This topic addresses how to behave, and what to do in the Support and Assistance thread. The thread was created for the purpose of asking and answering questions, and said questions receiving specific, informative, and factual answers. Remember that this section on the forums is here for people to receive a swift and accurate response, and not for spam or unhelpful chatter. When someone needs to sift through the questions in this thread they should be able to find the answer quickly and efficiently. Minimizing clutter is a priority and will be strongly enforced, replies that do not contribute are subject to removal. Please read this carefully before making or replying to any post, thank you. Submitting a question? Questions should be: Friendly toned, and staying positive while trying to help solve the problem too. Moderately professional and relatively useful. Thought-out and unique, search for similar questions first before submitting a query. Scoped inside of the LotC realm, and not about topics that relate in no clear way. Descriptive and informative, so as to make it as easy as possible for those answering to help you out. Marked as [Resolved] when it is finished. Questions should not be: Aggressively written or targeted in a negative fashion at a certain detail in LotC. Asked about previously, not a new question. Scoped outside of the LotC realm, written on completely random topics. One line queries, we can’t provide assistance if the question is unclear or not detailed Controversial, or written with no clear way to provide a correct answer. Focused around humour or purposely inflammatory. Never marked as [Resolved] leaving the Guide team hanging. Helping provide an answer? Answers should be: Helpful and the details provided unique in the topic. Friendly and supportive of the one asking the question, regardless of content. Well researched as well as clear and concise. On-topic and centered around helping the member providing the query. Answers should not be: Unhelpful, controversial or provide false-information. Aggressive or victimising of the player asking the question. Unsure or adding more questions to the query, generally best not to answer off the top of your head. Off-topic from the question, inflammatorytrolly, or unnecessarily comedic. Tip: If you provide sources to your answer it can make it that much more legitimate and provide more backbone to it. If your reply provides links to various other topics or posts that provide answers to the query it is a large bonus, and very helpful. Reminder: When you are in the Support and Assistance thread you leave your immature side behind completely and must at least attempt a professional atmosphere. Trolling and rude comments will absolutely not be tolerated, and all replies must contain valuable information that has not been previously stated. When you are asking your question make sure it is unique and an answer is nowhere else to be found, and when replying you are providing an answer, not just an opinion.

Trading Section Rules Please follow the following procedure when trading. When trading items, please state in the on your topic the following Buying - When buying an item, please put at the start of the topic “BUYING” Selling - When you are selling an item, please put at the start of the topic “SELLING” Auctioning - When you are auctioning an item, please put at the start of the topic “AUCTION” Sold - When you have sold your item, please edit your topic to say “SOLD.” Finished - When your auctioned item on the forums has finished, please edit your topic to say “FINISHED.” This is purely done so that the FM team know what items have currently sold, and what are unsold. Any topic left open for over the duration of one month without response may be locked and moved to the archive, if your trade is that of a trading company actively selling and buying, please PM a forum moderator to unlock and move the topic back to it’s original location. Guidelines to trading 1- Refrain from using OOC - Trading posts are usually created through RP, which means you must also try to reply to the seller/buyer in an RP fashion, whilst we understand sometimes OOC may be required, please try to keep OOC posts to an absolute minimum. Be sure to always surround the out of character portions of your response with the double parentheses, before and after the out of character section. (( )) 2- Do not troll - Self explanatory really, in the past we have seen a few trade topics being trolled with the likes of bidding, some people will outbid their rivals with unrealistic prices they most likely do not have, this creates an atmosphere for some which do not approve which drives them from buying the item or selling the item they wish. Trade Formats Shops: Your Shop Name: It’s Location (Be specific!): Items for sale: Person to contact: Auctioning: Starting Price: Minimum bid: Buy out price: Ending time: Selling Item(s): Amount of Item Available: Price: (Please feel free to fill this out yourself. If you are unsure, check the local shops around you or the forums for guidance) Meeting Place: To be discussed upon purchase. Buying Item(s): Amount of Item(s) required: Price: (Please state what price you are comfortable with buying these items at, if you are unsure what the current buy rate is, check with the local shops or haggle with a potential seller on your topic) Meeting Place: To be discussed upon purchase. These are just a few formats that you may use to trade your items. Keep in mind, they are not mandatory. Thank you, happy trading!
