Hi, New player here;

I looked on your list for PERMADEATH and don't see it. I'm sorry, but been playing for a few days now and still don't know what this is referring too. I imagine it's hardly important but I'm curious.

Permadeath: when your character dies in game, you don't get to recall out and try again. The character is dead and gets rerolled. Now, that having been said, different permadeath guilds have different rules as to what is/isn't allowed for deaths and resurrections.

oh ok, thanks.

I see where serious roleplaying guild would want to take this serious I guess. I died once and two other times I was knocked down to -3 or -5 and managed to actually recover back to consciousness and get back to safe area to recover.

I'm not sure if I'd want to be in a guild that would penalize a character or player who dies but at the same time I would rather players take thier characters serious instead of treating them like zerg or rambos.

It's a different play style that may or may not apply to you. It doesn't to me.

updated in four locations ...

DoT = Damage over Time

got it

IC most commonly refers to the "Improved Critical" feats ie. IC slash, IC pierce, etc.

got it, but disagree with "most commonly" as it depends on the crown you hang with, i guess. lol.

to each their own. all i do is pd now a days. not all your toons have to be pd toons. even in a dedicated pd guild, you still may have non pd toons, they just cant join the pd guild. most players i play with will have one or two pd toons reserved for pd, and the rest for whatever their other playstyle(s) is.

IQ for Inspired Quarters.

Took me some time to understand it.. for me IQ is usually "intelligence quotient".
