It has come to my attention that w41 is severely lacking in roleplay. Roleplayers on 41 are there for many different reasons, however the biggest one of them all is to roleplay. Due to a lack of community, I have decided the current course of action is to revive the server.

In order to do such a thing I have gathered the small community that roleplays on 41, and we have come to an agreement to create a sort of "reset" to 41's roleplay. This server reset is designed to make a safe place for all roleplayers to be able to have fun on a free 2 play world. How the server reset is going to work, is all previous P.O.C. (Player owned Cities) will be non canon and put to the side for the time being (This is to get rid of anyone who has issues metagaming and godmodding to stay in power of zones). Also, all private roleplay will become publicly cannon in order to get rid of the "exclusive" feel that 41 has. This will allow anyone to freely opt in and enjoy a session of roleplaying, whether they are freelance or not. A public "hub" or hangout will be encouraged to be set in Falador for the time being as a spot where anybody who wants to roleplay can find other roleplayers. From there, players can freely take the roleplay where they please.

There is a small group within the community that has volunteered to act as "moderators" for the rest of the community, so if there are any disputes they can be settled by contacting one of the members to help settle issues. This is more P.O.C. related when we decide to bring that back, regardless we are here to help roleplayers solve out of character matters.

I want to stress that 41 is a much more relaxed and easy going server to roleplay on. Rules will be set where they are needed to ensure a balance among all the roleplayers, however everyone is here to enjoy themselves through player made stories. Rules will be listed below on another post. Please remember to always follow the rules, but most importantly, have fun while roleplaying!

W41 is a more relaxed server, where players can have fun and will not be judged upon simple things such as not wishing to engage in combat, or character species. However rules ARE important and are set to make the server a safe and fun environment to roleplay.

Non lore-friendly characters are allowed, however they cannot be game breaking, or over rediculous. All non lore-friendly characters will be evaluated throughout their roleplay to make sure they are safe to play among everyone else. Characters who exibit excessive amounts of abnormalities may be shy'd away from, or asked to leave.

The (precious metals) armor rating system will be removed, as it is too excessively strict and unfriendly to new players, as well as players who wish to have somewhat unique armors. This allows all players to be unique in their own way, and allows Adamant and Runite to be more commonly seen. As for the actual armor strength, in character this will not matter as much, as the armor strength will be based on simply the type of appearance it has. As far as wielding weapons goes, its based on the character. Strength will not solely be determined by the realism that everybody will be fully human. This also plays a role in the ability to cast magic.

METAGAMING, GODMODDING, AUTOHITTING/ FORCED INTERACTIONS WILL NOT BE TOLERATED BY PLAYERS!!!!

Please encourage new roleplayers to learn to roleplay properly. If they don't know, teach them. Roleplaying is dying because players leave, and the next generation is not taught the correct way to roleplay. Everyone is highly encouraged to roleplay and interract with one another in character.

Also, a solution to accidental metagaming, so everyobody knows who is in character, when entering a roleplay, please have a brief introduction (Keep it 1-3 lines please!) to allow other roleplayers to know you are in character. Simply approaching a group and going: -ic-, will also solve this issue.

All roleplayers are encouraged to join my friends chat!

Please do not fill this forum with needless banter by 42 roleplayers who are not interested in helping revive the community. This is a positive effort to keep roleplaying alive on w41. If you have no interest in helping our endevours, please do not post anything. Thankyou.
