NotMyWay's Guide on Manners and Etiquette

From Fiesta Wiki

Revision as of 13:07, 9 December 2007

Introduction

Manners and Etiquette are very important in our daily lives. Even in online games like Fiesta, they are still of importance.

What is Manners and Etiquette?

Direct from the dictionary:
The socially correct way of acting; etiquette.

In simpler terms, manners and etiquette are a morally correct way of life.

Why are manners important in Fiesta?

Without manners, other players will think poorly of you or your upbringing. Also, some players have execellent memories as well as friends whom they communicate with, which means that once many people have been disgusted by your improper actions, you may never be able to find a party or a guild ever again, and will be remembered for your actions.

How then should I behave?

Generally, you should obey all the Terms of Service (ToS) of your respective game provider. However, there are some more specific ways.

When requesting for help

The first and most important thing to do is to turn of your 'caps lock' button. It is usually located to the left of your 'A' button on the keyboard. If it is on, please apply pressure on it once to turn it off. Most keyboards have a light to indicate if the caps lock is on or off, if not, check your screen.

When requesting for help or buffs, use 'please' (short form of is pls) and not 'PLZZZZZZZZ' or 'PLEEEEEEZE'. Also, please understand that not all clerics can buff your max hp (also known as casting endure) or revive you, and that revive takes 5 seconds to be completed. Also, protect and resist cannot affect those outside the cleric's party.

If the person cannot help you, then leave him or her alone. Do not spam the player with trade requests, party invites, or whispers. Also, spamming begging for money is strongly discouraged.

If the person decides to help you, thank him or her. A simple way of thanking them would be to say "Thank you", "ty", "Thanks", or "thx". This can also be said after a trade.

Also, some players may be afk, or Away From Keyboard. That means that no matter how often you flood their pms, they will not respond, but when they return they may experience difficulty in reading their friend's pms. This will probably cause them to dislike you.

Some examples of what is right and wrong:

Right
Example 1.
Some Random Player: "Hello, can you please cast endure on me?"
Some Random Player gets buffed
Some Random Player: "Thank you"

Example 2. Some Random Player: "can u pls buff me?"
Some Random Player gets buffed
Some Random Player: "ty"

Wrong
Example 1.
Some Random Idiot: "buff me max Hp"
Some Random Idiot: "buff me max HP"
Some Random Idiot: "help me"

Example 2.
Some Random Idiot: "heAL"
Some Random Idiot: "HELP PLZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ"

When editing Fiestawiki

Do not vandalise the wiki. Not only is it immature and disrespectful, vandalism can be easily reversed much faster then it can be done.

During Kingdom Quests

• Do not go AFK
• As far as possible, do not be rude to your party members
• Do not do stupid things which will result in the failure of the KQ or which waste people's time.

-This includes but is not limited to luring multiple bosses in Mara Pirate's Rage or deliberately refusing to open the gate in Gold Hill Adventure
