About
the Game
|
| Diamond
Isle is a role-playing game that is set on a fictitious island
in the Caribbean called Santuario Island. You are a "character"
on this island and choose how you wish to present yourself. You
may be a hard working miner who sweats away all day long, a visiting
tourist wishing to relax and enjoy the sites, an invader planning
on taking over the island, or just a regular island local getting
by day to day. The choice is yours! |
| Creating
a Character |
| When
first logging into Diamond Isle, you will be requested to create
a character, everything from name, body type, eye color, hair
style, gender and clothing. This is an automated process and is
very easily completed within a minute or two. When thinking of
a name, try to think of one that will fit into a modern day island
setting. You will also notice your Stats. These are not important
at the moment, and are discussed below, and they will change constantly
over your character's life time. |
| In
Character(IC) and Out of Character(OOC) |
| Diamond
Isle is a role-playing game where you are someone on an island.
While playing, you should remember to be your character and not
your "real" self. Talking about things on the island,
local attractions, island weather are some of the things that
you would talk about. You would not talk about your computer lagging,
your "real" name, where "you" are from. Those
are considered "OOC". Talking that way is disturbing
to characters who are staying "IC". If you wish to speak
to someone "OOC", use the WHISPER command or go to a
designated spot for "OOC" discussion, like the Reality
Community Center. |
| Communicating
and Moving Around |
| You
will encounter several other players and NPCs in your visits to
the island and one thing you must know how to do is talk. You
can engage in conversation using the ' or SAY command, followed
by your message. You can also use SAYTO First Name Last Name to
speak directly to someone, or ASK/ASKTO. The other aspect, moving
around, can be handled in many ways. You will see "Obvious
paths:" on your screen, telling you which directions you
can travel. Sometimes not all of the paths are "obvious".
There may be closed doors, or buildings you can GO into. You can
move using commands such as n/north, s/south, etc. Or you may
be able to GO/ENTER building/shop. Sometimes you may find DOORS
you can OPEN. You may have to OPEN door/Open north. |
