Veracity

PS: Please post here when you've read all of the new rules/changes. Thanks ya'll!

Yeah, we're aware of that issue. I'm not sure why it's happening, but we're trying to fix it.

From now on, we are not going to be lenient on inactivity. As such, we're introducing a new "Strike" system. This is a breakdown of how it works: If a GM is inactive (for 1 week of unexcused absence), they will be given a warning or a "strike" by a higher level GM or Administrator. This is a "3 strikes you're out!" policy: once you receive your 3rd strike, you will be kicked from the team. No exceptions. The only excused absences that will be given are for medical conditions, death of a family member, or extenuating circumstances where you do not have internet access You must explain your situation to Veracity over MSN/forum PM in order to be given an 'excused absence' Some examples of unexcused absences are... Saying you are busy with school/work and being inactive for long periods of time. No matter how busy you are, I'm sure you can find a half hour or less to log on and host at least 1 event every couple of days. If you have finals, that's one thing: but finals last for a week or two at most, not months. Disappearing with no explanation. If there's a serious issue, please have one of your friends on the team make a topic and notify me. Being inactive on your GM, but playing on your legit all of the time. Coming up with any other excuses that aren't legitimate or trying to lie. If there's any sort of issue, try running it by me. I'll try my best to be understanding, or we can work out an agreement... but never lie. Veracity will be the one overseeing GM Activity. I'll be monitoring activity in game, on the forums, and event/punishment logs. You will be notified each time you receive a strike and I'll keep track of everyone's privately. This new system starts now. No one will be given special treatment regardless of how long you've been here. GM activity is essential to any good server, and it's not fair for us to put all of the weight on just a select few GMs or the new ones. If everyone works as a team, it will make it easier on all of us and will make the server more enjoyable for everyone. Thank you to everyone for your understanding and dedication to the server. Keep up the good work! If you have any questions about this or any other recent changes, feel free to ask me on MSN!

In an effort to add more structure and organization to the staff, we've made some changes to the forums as well as some new important guidelines. You'll notice 2 'new' categories have been added: Important Information and GM Logs. Important information contains all of the new guides, rules, and announcements that every GM needs to thoroughly understand. In addition to this, our event and punishment logs now have a separate forum dedicated to them. Below are all of the important changes to policies that every GM (new and old) must re-familiarize themselves with: New GM Policies What Constitutes Abuse? New "Strike" System Event Hosting Guidelines (as well as the Event Checklist, which goes hand-in-hand with the new guidelines) What Prizes you should be giving out

Updated Table of Contents In effort to make the Game Master forums more organized and up-to-date, we've revamped and reorganized multiple topics. Below is a simple 'Table of Contents' if you're having trouble finding any information.

We changed the coordinates of the NPCs, so the information just probably hasn't been updated. In the future if you (or anyone else) finds any errors with the wikipedia, you can just shoot me a PM about it. Thanks for pointing it out though! (:

There is no difference, just the color of the sword.

Yes, you can.

We recently added Moneybookers, which is much easier to use than WU or AlertPay. We will never bring back Paypal, ever, because of what Justice said. Thanks for understanding. We are going to continue to add other method of payments, but if you don't like WU/AlertPay, try Moneybookers. - Rejected -

We currently do not have the @pk command as we are a PK server. It's disabled on some maps, though. Now that you mention it, I think it's a good idea to disable PK on all of the maps players would be leveling on or possibly implementing the @pk command. I think it would be more beneficial to our new players if we did that. Even though you didn't directly suggest it, thank you for that idea. (: If you're having problems with any players in the meantime (e.g., someone continues to kill you while you're trying to level), you can report them in the ticket system or contact Genesis directly on MSN ([email protected]). We have 0 tolerance for people who are rude to our new players, so if you encounter any issues, please let us know.

Hi Olethea, and welcome to Forsaken! I hope you'll like it here. If you have any questions or need any help starting out, feel free to ask me or any of the other GMs. We're easy to get in touch with over the forums or on MSN (mine is [email protected]). When starting out, you may find this guide on the Wiki helpful. Good luck and happy playing! (:

I guess we should be flattered they like our website so much that they want to use it for themselves! At least it's been changed now, in any case. (:

The contest has been extended for another two weeks! It will end on July 30, 2011 instead.

Hi Shara, welcome to ForsakenRO. I hope you'll enjoy it here! If you have any questions, feel free to ask myself or any of the other staff members. We're easily accessible, especially on the forums and MSN (mine is [email protected]). Happy playing! (:

We're still deciding, we've had a lot of really good applications to read through.

http://nyan.cat/ Found this today and thought of this. New event: see who can get the highest score! Just kidding... or am I?

Hi Ya'll, Because of abysmal turn out for the Annihilation event, we're no longer going to host it. Ever. It'll be replaced with a new event soon. If you guys have any ideas/recommendations, then please post them in the Event Suggestion thread and specifically mention it as a replacement for Annihilation.

Keep up the great entries, everyone! (: Can't wait to see what more people will come up with. Remember, there's about two days left, so get your entries in soon.

This should be fixed already? There's an NPC you can sell them to in the Mall, I believe.

Thanks to those of you who have been trying to improve on events/being more active. I think we've had enough LMS and Dice for awhile... be sure to check out the Event Checklist that Justice started to see what events need to be hosted more. Keep up the good work!

Unfortunately, this requires source editing so we can't do it for the time being, though I like this idea. - Rejected -
