Olthoi Play

Introduced:  From Darkness, Light

Introduced in the 11th anniversary updated, Olthoi Play is a system designed to allow players to jump right into the higher level Player vs. Player action without the need to spend vast amounts of time leveling and collecting gear. The downside is that Olthoi Play is highly restricted.

To take part in Olthoi Play, you must create a new character and select one of the two Olthoi breeds. Olthoi Soldiers are melees that attack with piercing damage, and Olthoi spitters are mages that attack with acid damage.

Rules and Restrictions

General

• Olthoi cannot join or create an allegiance.
• Olthoi cannot join or create a fellowship.
• Olthoi cannot listen to any regular chat channels. Instead, all Olthoi are in the Olthoi channel, usable with the /o command. Olthoi can hear other olthoi in open chat (/say), however they cannot hear nor be heard by humans.
