Application Guidelines

Account

1. We expect one account per player and reserve the right to investigate if accusations of cheating or meta gaming become prevalent. Otherwise we hope to simply ask everyone to play fair.
2. You may use all five of your character slots, but you can only have one RPCSS account.

Race

1. There are five main categories of races, you must choose one of those five categories and abide by their limitations. Otherwise, you may be of any sub-race that you wish with the following restrictions.
2. Individual sub-races who have non-human avatars are restricted to available 2D UO graphics. Read More ...
3. There are no skill or stat modifications based on race (at this time).
4. Shard lore and politics are intended to group characters by moral/ethical lines rather than racial lines.

Arrival in the World

1. All player characters are brought into Sanctuary by either one of the character's own gods or by one of the three main forces of Sanctuary; Ancalagon the Black, Jormungandr, or the Grey Rider. Only NPCs can be native.
2. Player characters can have arrived anytime on Sanctuary in the last 10 years. This maybe a necessary fiction for anyone who is interested in creating a Noble House.

Kingdom

1. There are five kingdoms in Sanctuary and player characters are encouraged, but not required, to choose a kingdom to join either at the time of application or soon after.
2. We understand that our players have a tendency toward loner behavior -- however, be advised that the shard storyline is geared at characters who have kingdom allegience.

Backstory

We are not looking for a literary presentation, rather simply to understand the situation of your character's arrival so that we can head off any misunderstandings at the time of application.

1. As stated elsewhere, the application team is looking for a basic backstory of less then 400 words that simply explains what the character was doing prior to arriving in Sanctuary.
2. Additionally, if your character has been here for more then a few months, what the character was up to during that time. A time line of the last ten years will be made available shortly, until then, just keep this brief, i.e. perfecting my crafting skills, in a leadership position of a noble house, starting a pirate gang, etc.

Remember Player Characters are not native to this world.
