Please, for the love of whatever God you believe in....

USE PUNCTUATION!!!! And freaking capatlize the word 'I'

Really, it is such an eye sore in an enforced RP game.

This is so full of grammatical errors I cannot begin to express the irony off thee post itself. In the title of the post itself you did not CAPATLIZE an I that should have been.

You, sir, are a pot. Guess who you just called black

Why would someone make light of this issue? It's really detrimental. Someone told me that back in 2.0 this was actually mandated by IMPS, but apparently the current staff has given some slack on it or thrown it away.

I didn't capatilize the first letter because I don't do it in game, the game does it for me lol

Egreir, while I agree with your sentiments (despite the contentiously poor use of grammatical conventions in stating them), I do feel the need to point out that a sizable number of our players are non-native English speakers. Therefore, we have an incredibly diverse understanding of the nuances and intricacies of English rhetoric, style, and grammar on these forums and in game.

I agree that it can be an eyesore but if that's the worst thing we have going for us, then I'd say we're doing pretty well.

I don't agree with the practice of ignoring issues' date=' large or small. It makes everything feel so cheap when I get tells like "Hi i am going to hunt if u want to join. i will c u there."[/quote']

There is no issue. There is someone with a complaint about descriptive and prescriptive in a text based game that requires the imagination to "hear". If there is a problem, it could be suggested it is on the end of the "hearer".

That said, if you think there are those who are having issues with what looks like text speak, feel free to post a log in the prayer forum that we may assist these players you would rather openly mock on the forum.

By the way, I don't like seeing "lol" and such on the forums, but I haven't banned anyone for it yet. That may change in the near future.
