There are many ways to communicate in Avlis, both IC and OOC. There is also a distinct line between them.

In Character Communication

  • The in-game talk feature is IC.
  • There are in-character forums at www.avlis.org.
  • Any other in-game things, such as message boards and scribe-created items, are IC.

Out Of Character Communication

  • If you need to quickly say something OOC to everyone nearby in-game, use talk and put the message in double-parentheses like (( this )), or prefix it with "OOC". There are several other methods, but these are the most common.
  • Party chat is sometimes used for IC communication, but should usually be OOC. Also, DMs see party chat, so please use it only when necessary.
  • Tells are OOC.
  • Most of the www.avlis.org forums, as well as this wiki, are OOC.
  • IMs, emails, IRC, and talking to your buddy at work are all OOC.

Other Notes

  • Players are not allowed to "shout" in Avlis.
  • "PM" is used to refer to either a tell in-game, or a Private Message sent on the forums.
  • You can use the DM channel in-game to get the attention of any DMs online. You will not see what you send, but any DMs will.
  • New players: register on the forums and begin reading them. In particular, read the Rules Forum, then take a look at the others. The forums have become an integral part of the Avlis experience.
