Fellowship etiquette
Even the most solo player will have, at some point, to join a fellowship to run instances and raids. And it is exactly at that point where many misunderstandings can happen. So here comes some basic etiquette pointers for a pleasant stroll, with kinnies, inside the most dagerous places in middle-earth.
Beginners
- Stay close to the group;
- avoid aggroing the mobs;
- ask about the role you are expected to play;
- ask about boss tactics;
- pay attention to the fellowship chat window;
- be polite;
- respect the instructions from seasoned players;
- HAVE FUN!
Experts
- Remember you once were a beginner too;
- explain the expected roles to beginners;
- lead the way but dont impose the rithym;
- share your knowledge of the area and bosses;
- NEVER kick someone out just because the player keeps dying or aggroing, talk to the player first, explain, help;
- be polite;
- respect what others have to say;
- respect everybody’s play style;
- HAVE FUN!
Keep in mind that people have different connections, computer performances, play style, family around…and all of these may cause some interference while playing in groups. So be kind and understanding with your fellow and remember you are all there to enjoy the game and have fun.
