I will assume that if you have got this far, then you will be aware that Dark Isles is first and foremost a roleplaying game. However, rather than being the sort of roleplay you find on other MUDs and graphical MMORPGs, but rather is much more akin to the styles found on MUSHes.
The roleplay consists of emotes taken in turn by those in the same 'room' as you. Each emote is usually at least one line in length, and more commonly three to six lines. You can include speech in your emotes through the use of text between "double quotes". All speech will be converted to the relevant language your character is speaking and will be understandable to all those that with enough skill in that language (or partially understandable). Words that are not understood are replaced with asterisks ******.
You can interact with other people and objects around you and use these tools to tell a story and develop your character.
If you are unsure how to go about things, I recommend just quietly entering a place where people are roleplaying (you can use the WHERE command to help you) and watch for a few rounds to see how others interact.
IC and OOC
lC stands for In Character and refers to any action your character would do (not you the player). OOC stands for Out Of Character. This refers to things relating to you the player. There is an OOC channel that is used for chatting out of character and should never be used to discuss IC information relating to your character. You would not ask on the OOC channel for someone to meet you at a certain location, nor would you ask how to kill a wolf, etc.
