Community Action.

Ladies and Gentlemen, Boys and Girls of all ages.
I would like to point out something to you all. And I would greatly appreciate if you could all help me with this.
As you may have noticed there is a gap between the GM's of our fine game and the playing community.
I ask that from now on, if a player is bothering you, first try the ignore feature of your game client.
If enough people ignore the habitual offenders, their reason for being annoying will disappear and so too will the annoying people.
In regards to botting, please use the @wgm command to send a messge to an online GM (if available) and we will investigate, but remember, we have a process to follow and it doesn't involve running in ban-hammers blazing!
To correctly use the @wgm feature type into your chat bar: '@wgm <playername> is botting at <location>' and someone will look into it.
As everyone should be aware (you cant log in with a new character without seeing the rules!) the games official server is an ENGLISH SPEAKING SERVER!
I am more then happy for you to chat with your friends in a quiet part of a map somewhere in your own language, better yet, use the whisper feature! But in towns and high traffic areas, I ask that you respect the rules and stick to ENGLISH (broken/poor english is fine, we appreciate you making the effort!)
ABUSE WILL NO LONGER BE TOLLERATED! Abuse another player in the presence of a GM and expect to be going on a little holiday, courtesy of the BAN-HAMMER.
And folks, remember, swearing is not needed here, it might be ok amongst your friends, but some people find such foul language offensive, so please keep your language G rated when possible, and if you do drop the F-Bomb, we won't mind... Just don't make a habit of it.
Ladies and Gentlemen Boy and Girls, for my closing statement I would like you all to remember.
GM's are people too, and although we have lives outside of The Mana World, we do the best with the time and the tools we are given to keep the community a fun and hassle free one, so please be patient with us and try not to be upset if you don't like something we do.. there is usually a very good reason for it.
Cappy =)
