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. Another thing to note is that not all players are clerics. There are four different classes in Fiesta, and non-clerics cannot heal you, no matter how much you beg, whine, or demand.
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.
Please understand that not everyone understands shortforms, so you may have to type in full. Only use short forms if you personally know the other person, like if he is your friend.
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

Some Random Player: "ty"

Example 2.

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. Also, please quote your sources. Do not copy another person's work and attempt to pass it off as your own.
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
What not to do?
There are also some things that should never be done. Below are some examples.
Kill stealing
Kill stealing, or killing a monster that another player is obviously trying to kill, is irritating. Also, most service providers say it is illegal. When fighting, always only attack a monster which no one is attacking, unless you are in Kingdom Quest, or the attacker is your party member. If you cannot kill the monster on your own, either try killing lower leveled monsters, or try to kill that monster in a group with your friends. If you dont have any friends, you should know why...
Extortion
Extortion, or threatening another user with harm in an attempt to get items from them, for instance by stealing their kills, is illegal as it can be classified under harrasment. Furthermore, it will hardly ever work, and will backfire often. If you need items, hunt for them yourself, or set up a vendor. If you need money, read the money making guides in this wiki.
Spamming
Spam is defined as Stupid Pointless Annoying Messages, or messages which are useless. While it is understandable that you may want to get shouting titles, there are instances where spamming should never be done, such as spamming a person with repeated trade requests, friend requests, or party requests. If they reject you the first time, they definately will not accept the request a few seconds after they just rejected you.
Common Invalid Excuses for Misconduct
- You're just unlucky I had a bad day and was pissed by (insert name(s))
Do you really think this excuse will cause people to support you? More likely, they will turn against you for harrassing them. If you are unhappy with a particular person(s), take it out on that person(s), not on random people or groups of people.
- My friends are drunk
So? How did they get to the computer? Don't guide them there, let them rest for the sake of their health.
If you are underage, don't drink.
If you are of age, know your tolerance and do not consume more then you can handle.
Conclusion
Thank you for reading this and I hope that it has helped you in your personal development. I would also like to thank all who have helped to edit and improve this guide. If you have any further questions, comments, or feedback, please feel free to speak in the discussion section.
