it was released in 1999, so Runescape is knockoff Illarion ๐
1999 was rough I guess ๐
Oh you can talk these things ic (In-character) and there is OOC (Out of character) chat as well just use (()) Or #o in chat
I know the feeling as I experienced that hostility in neverwinter nights servers, but Illarion's community is very friendly and welcoming to new players, even our 1 evil player is on break teaching the game to newcomers!
Absolutely! most dwarves are like that already ๐คฃ
It means roleplay is mandatory, so it's not a game for you if you just want to play alone by yourself, you need to roleplay with other players.
Roleplay means acting as your created character would and speak like your character would, so not speaking like this "LOL BROOO HOW U DOING?" but for example if your character is a polite human they may speak like this "Greetings good sir, how is your day?"
If they are an angry orc they may speak like this instead "Meh smash yoo puny oomie!"
I am not the dev, game is from 1999
But thanks! game is indeed awesome!
