As many of you have probably noticed, use of NPCs of all types is becoming more widespread at 'Souls! This is pretty interesting since use of NPCs gives players more options and flexibility regarding individual and pack plots and allows for the organization of larger events like the Winter Festival to occur more easily. Unfortunately, we're running into more and more confusing and potentially complicated situations where we feel NPCs are being used in a manner that probably shouldn't be allowed, but there are no clear guidelines regarding such usage yet. In some cases, use of NPCs can be interpreted as intentionally sidestepping existing policies via loopholes or lack of clarity. We are working on overhauling our NPC procedures and guidelines to better address the multitude of different situations where NPCs might be utilized. In addition to providing more clear information regarding pack and event NPCs, we hope to simplify existing policies regarding personal and temporary plot NPCs so players may more easily use them. In the meantime, we ask that all players please keep the following in mind:
Thanks for your patience while we hash out the new NPC guidelines. If anyone has any questions, please feel free to respond here or PM us! |
