Welcome to Illarion, if you get accepted. Anyway, you are not supposed to use abrevations such as... "every1", "lol", "ty" and more that I won't take the time to look on some website for them. I hope to see you in town!

Yup have fun! I suggest, before entering the game, reading the tutorials that should be found in your Illarion folder...unless they were taken out in the new client. Were they?

@ Paul and Crosis:

Please read the rules! There is said:

6. Spamming
Writing things with no sense (e.g. iaosbrg93q8945#%=/), or very quickly is spamming, and is forbidden.

8. Out of character (OOC)
Illarion puts much focus on roleplaying. any out of character talk should be whispered, or take place outside town. Also, speak as your type of character would in medieval times, do not use modern slang. Do not speak of you skills. Sentences like "My parry is near the second R" are highly frowned upon.

14. Forum
On the boards the rules 2,3,5,6 and 13 apply. On the Role Play Board and also the In-Game-Event Board only role play (and no OOC) is allowed. Additionally the rules 8 and 11 apply.

And another reason of not using slang is, that for players, whom mothertongue isn't english, it will be much harder to read english topics.
The german try to write in english and read theses posts, but if you make it hard by using slang, abbreviations and so on, the will only ignore your posts.
It is a sign of living together in Illarion to use proper language, which is understandable.

They are making sense but are using abriviations.

Paul said: I know what you mean and

Crosis said : abbriviations are for lazy people like paul
