Glad to see some posted rules. Minor questions on points 8 and 9.

First of all, I'm sure I'm not alone in not providing any identifying information in my registration. Thats OK, right? Point 9 makes this unclear.

Second, on racism, espicially guilds and groups. You mean OOC racism, correct? It's ok to despise the drow, or the undead?

I assume this is OK, just want to double check.

Nit-pick point, 14, you probably mean Dasaria, not Shadowbane. ;)

Finaly, some rules! *Does the happy dance of glee*

I think it's a shame these have had to be posted. But at least now it has been laid out in black and white. , or, black and a sort of blotchy tan / parchment effect.

We have to ask this so that you have accountability for criminal actions. We wont be verifying the user information beyond email, but we need to ask that you provide correct information.

Yes by all means- it means RL. I added language to clarify that, thanks.
