How to handle Banned
Rule 1: read page 5. He tells you.
I.) PVP ETIQUETTE
1st Rule: Always ask "FFA (free for all) or 1v1?
2nd Rule: Never Disrupt a 1v1. This is a major breaking of a rule and people get real mad about this (me too)
3rd Rule: When asking for a 1v1, Don't use the word "noob" Don't use the word noob anyway.
4th rule: If the person says yes, you should say "call it" either they will say "say go" or they will say "go." once a person says go, the 1v1 has begun.
5th rule: No selling in PvP unless someone asks for something first
6th rule: Never leave in the middle of a 1v1. Idc if it grants you an extra death, it's wasting my mana.
There will be some people defying these rules, that is (sort of) OK, because this is only the (oldie) code of etiquette.
II.)Power Leveling Power leveling is a highly disliked practice. It is when a lower level player gets a higher level player to level them. This is not OK if you are beginning, but it is OK if you already have a main and know how to play the game.
1st Rule: Never ask in the New Players Forum Section to be Power Leveled. Trust me, you will be flamed.
2nd Rule: Explain that you have a main and you know how to play the game. If you are a totally new player, do not ask on forums at all.
3rd Rule: At the end of a power level, always offer to compensate for the higher level person's services.
4th Rule: All pink drops go to the person that is Power Leveling if they asks
5th Rule: Do NOT beg. Nonononono! never beg! This is the worst part of Power Leveling. Newbs get flamed for asking to power level because of the last wave of the "Mynas Generation" These are high level players that beg for everything and do not know how to play the game.
6th Rule: Even if you have a main, do not rely on Power Leveling too much. Your stats will suck, and you will be flamed in-game too.
III.)Booting
The One and Only Golden Rule of Booting: Always give a legit reason for the boot, such as "low Level." always apologize for booting. Lots of people have problems with this rule, including me.

1) Don't beg, it's just stupid. Why are you "playing" this game if you just want to sit around and beg? The fun of the game is in the adventure and exploration of it. Teaming up and defeating the foes, fulfilling quests and getting lucky with good drops now and then.
2) Don't feed the beggars! Don't give them anything (except maybe a useless scrap of cloth, LOL) Giving them anything will just show them that there's an occasional payoff and they'll keep doing it.
3) For Enchanters: heal. It helps the party out. Bear tanks are there to take the heat off of you so you can do damage, don't let them die for it.
4) Don't drag, stomp or blast bosses too far away from their origin. When they get too far away (as in out of the room they started in and down the hall), they will stop, become invincible, return to their original position and completely heal themselves. Not good, right?
5) Kiting is often an effective way of keeping yourself alive and herding mobs into a single group you can efficiently blast with AoE, however, don't overdo it. I think the worst place to kite wildly is the Shacklerock(?) valley where the stone giants are. They are not too tough to take on one on one, but they are all over the place and if you start running around into the proximity of other giants gaining aggro, you might soon be dragging 5 or more giants around into the other players. This is not a good thing.
6) Try to do the maps sequentially. Not a biggie, but I've been with many parties that dash on down a corridor without paying attention to the map, leaving a room unbeaten. The problem is, when you get the end, you have to trek all the way back to finish off the level. If you aren't using your heads up map display, you should, it's useful, showing where enemies are, but you have to get close enough to see them before they appear on the map.

-Bears, please taunt. If you have more armor than your teammates, they need you to take the damage - to tank for them.
- that goes along with mages healing, mages please heal whenever you can
-Also everyone else, don't rely on mages to heal you. Heal has a cooldown and is not always enough to keep you alive, you need to use your health pots as well
- don't get mad if somebody else gets a good drop. Just tell them "Grats". If it's something you want you can offer to buy. Everyone gets their own roll for drops, so it is nobodies fault that you didn't get a good drop. It's just luck
-if youre going to boot somebody, do it when they first enter. Don't wait 5 min and then boot them because you want your buddy to join.
-don't boot people with elixirs.
-don't boot at the boss. It won't help your drop chances anyway.

- when someone asks for everybody to "pot" (or "pot up"), it means that you may need to use a tank pot (the blue one) and in some cases (when the boss is really hard or when the party is not strong enough) you can add the melee pot (red one). When everybody pots, don't be cheap, pot yourself. Otherwise, you may die very fast and be useless to the others. And they won't tell you nice things and invite you to remake the game.
That's it so far.
Trash talking?
the day the world died I didn't even say goodbye
or train untill you can fight back, the only way you can create a positive atmosphere is make your own game and boot the trash talker
