Friends,
This is still happening far too much. To reiterate do not use Discord, tells in game to communicate or influence what should be dealt with in game.
Examples would be
Hey, I'm thinking about killing xyz pc, wanna help?
What would your pc think about abc?
Well I got this reward from a DM so must be onto something and player 123's character is wrong
Here are all the reasons why I think your character is wrong and why my character is correct.
OMG that event was awesome. So glad we've finally managed to kill "BAD GUY" and recover that awesome "ITEM OF WIN"
Some examples of what tells and discord should be used for
Saw you just logged in, we just made a sending to do ogres, wanna come?
You going to be around for a bit? Need to chat. Will do a sending.
Safe to respawn?
You going to respawn or you want to be raised?
Can you log in? My character needs to talk to you. I'll do a sending.
Hey I'm thinking about making a pc that is all about 456. Anyone around to help?
We've had the ability to use messages forever and common sense seemed to have been sufficient. Recently, there has been too much (from reported incidents by players) of OOC being used to influence, discuss, and solicit responses about IC issues that should be handled in game.
Out of respect for your fellows in the community, we are asking this be stopped so the DM team doesn't have to take action such as deleting the character involved or stronger measures.
Happy Gaming
