OOC and IC

IC and OOC are two words that are hard to explain to other people. But, here is something to begin with.

IC is short for In Character.
OOC is short for Out of Character.

IC represents talking like you would talk to people you meet for the first time in Real Life.
- Example: Hello sir, how are you?
- Example: Can you bring me to the City Hall, please?
Also, in IC you have the same respect for people that you have for other people in Real Life. Smiley's in IC are strictly FORBIDDEN, because you don't speak in smiley in Real Life too, do you? As well, in Real Life, you don't know other people's names without asking. Neither you do in IC without asking.

OOC is standing above that all. It represents speaking to people like you do in MSN, you see their names so you know their names.
- Example: Hi Maikel, how was your party yesterday?
- Example: Yo Ferry, where's the City Hall again ;p?
In OOC, you can see the names, so you can talk to people by using their names. In OOC you CAN use smiley's.

I hope you now have better knowledge of IC and OOC, and that you can resume your Role Playing with using these two terms correctly. For questions, reply in this topic, send me a PM or whisper me ingame.

Yours Truly,
