Guide to talking
Back to main
This is a guide to talking. In this guide you will find some basic things you should and shouldn't do when talking to people. From bottom of this page, you will find a small volcabulary about shorts used in internet.
When you are talking to people, always check your spelling. Incorrectly spelled words annoy people, and sometimes they might get the whole point wrong.
Never say somthing like "Selling bronze bars press 777". This is very annoying. Just say that you are selling them, and if someone is willing to buy them, he will some to you, and there is no need to ask for press certain number combination.
Never try to sell worthless items like boots or gloves. Nobody really want them, so it is just waste of your time to try to sell them.
Never write in CAPS, it is VERY annoying to other players.
Never use this line in subject of a message "Every one plz read this!", instead use this space to tell the real rubject of the messages.
Don't scam, be lame or anything like that. Lamer's and scammers are hated.
If you are a newbie, don't ask anything if you don't like to be hated, because most of the newbie questions can be found from quides or are other vise very clear things.
