So... Let's start the discussion.

Guilds, rivalries and general idiocy aside.

1) what should they be
2) how do we decide fair ones
3) what happens if they are broken
4) grey areas


My only thoughts so far are a "council" of the top guild leaders.

Once rules are agreed upon, then the leaders have to be strict and boot players.


The issue I see with this is are you really going to boot someone you have played with for half a year?
How are people who have never seen eye to eye ever going to reach an agreement?

Dispute Dan, Finito and Ghosts reluctance it is something that they will have to help with, even if it's just dipping their toes in.

Would also like to know from devils why anything like this isn't an issue over there side.

Is it because they have a dedicated adviser?
Is it something else?

Can't edit on iPad unfortunately. But saves from an absolute text wall.

- Don't insult or harass the Gamemasters (iSylver and Finito) nor the Advisor (Ghostlord).
- If you do want to vent some anger please take to your advisors - preferably ask them in advance if it's ok.
- Don't level without being at your computer
- Don't harass other players, this entails;
- Stopping someone from hunting through; grieffing, debuffing (slow/blind), luring mobs or otherwise.
- Don't excessively insult another player
- Don't be racist - a country full of people can never be blamed for the actions of a minority. People are people.
- Report bugs as soon as possible after finding one. Do not exploit bugs.
- iSylver is in charge of the bans - it is the advisors jobs to keep an eye out too and try to calm the community through warnings. If that isn't enough further action will be taken. You may ask for an explenation of your individual case as long as this is done in a respectful matter
- Be respectful to other players - even if they PK!
- Devils are devils and humans are humans - they do not work together, they fight!

I've started writing these rules just today and I don't want them to stop players from playing the game how they want. This means we'll most likely end up with a few base rules which will always be governed on an individual basis.

Please let us know your thoughts and ideas. :)


To get started, they are ghosts ideas.

I'm an advisor for both worlds now. Humans please come to me too. :)

Also I find that the DSoma culture is different completely. Even the same people are different on DSoma.

Its completely diff world the way i see it its because of the healthy competition we have on our gvws,meaning we wont bring our rivarly outside of this event with lame pks monopolization of mob spawns/bosses its also good for the whole Dsoma world to not get down on that path if it goes the population would be even less.

I think you make the mistake of thinking that Soma players want balance. Soma hardcore players have always been people who invest immense amounts of time into their char in order to completely overpower and dominate others. All manner of cheating and scumbag actions are ok in their eyes, including destroying someone elses char even if they spent years on it.

Maybe i've become cynical, I hope the Soma playerbase surprises me. Not trying to derail this great thread, just saying.

We actually need conti to level so it gives us a common goal, this then gives us a common enemy which is humans. As small as it seems this makes it so we dont fight amongst each other Anywhere near as much as humans.

Much lower usercount and more relaxed pace of levelling are also probably factors I'd guess.
