Sandbox: User Guides

Hello all, it's me, O'l Vally. This is a guide to OOC, and how to not confuse it with IC.

'''OOC = Out of Character. '''This is self explanatory, you basicly talk out of character. When you talk OOCly you usually put )) at the end of your text, so people know you're talking OOCly, Other signs can be ]] or }}. OOC can just be plain talking that isn't RPing. Think Texting with your phone. With the faces =D =) :) :( :P and just your average spelling shortening. I personally use proper grammar and spelling when using OOC, but hey, whatever floats your boat.

'''IC = In Character. '''This is basicly your Roleplay talk. You're roleplaying with this. You don't put anything at the end of your sentences to signal it, just type it and hit enter. Make sure it pertains to WoW, and not the real world. NOTE- It is highly recommended that you use proper spelling and grammar when typing ICly. Otherwise people will not take you seriously.

IC =/= OOC
Some people will hate you OOCly for ICly reasons. Take me as an example. Valcore is a huge dick IC, yet I'm a huggable bear OOCly. However, some people still hate me because they think that my IC behaviour pertains to me in every way. While I admit I -can- be a dick at times, I'm just not mean all the time. But back on topic - People will just think that if you're mean ICly, your also mean OOCly. You can create whatever attitudes and behaviour your character is, wether it's the complete same for you or the complete opposite of you.

Example: You could be some preppy cheerleader in real life, yet in WoW you can be that anti-social death knight who sits in the corner. ((I'll be continuing this tommorow. Nobody fuck with this. It's a work in progress.))
