So my server is geared towards curating people who are interested in long term multiplayer runs once the game comes out. Towards that end we have been working on guidelines for groups to help facilitate fair and cooperative play - over MULTIPLE runs. See below for those guidelines.
These are suggested guidelines to make runs workable for long term play.
1. Keep runs to under 5 hours per session. After 4-5 hours you are likely to encounter interruptions which will frustrate everyone, and people will start to get burned out which will impact people's moods.
2. Agree in advance that everyone is able and willing to continue the run for multiple sessions.
3. Create a team chat in discord – (everyone will need to friend each other, to facilitate communication on future scheduling) (we may also have a workaround for this where SESH crates a group specific thread for people to chat in)
4. Agree on a Playstyle/type of Run (Murderhobo, Serious, Iron-Man, Roleplay...)
Guidelines for Group Play – Character Creation
1. Figure out in advance what everyone wants to be. If your character build idea has specific requirements (Volo’s Eye, Loviatars Blessing) and you are meta gaming make sure you discuss that in advance and agree on who gets what.
2. If you are Roleplaying, discuss that in advance and agree on how that is supposed to work. Best practice is to recruit the run as an RP run.
3. Try to aim for a balanced team.
Guidelines for Actual Play
1. Don’t take anything out of another person’s inventory without asking.
2. Either agree on a leader or a method by which you determine what you are doing.
3. Communicate but don’t self-narrate. Engage with your teammates, don’t just talk to yourself – you are not a streamer with an audience, you are a player on a team.
4. Do not level another person's character without discussing with them first.
5. Don't assume anyone else is meant to act as a support class for your build.
6. Be excellent to each other - being kind to each other costs nothing!
Warning: Abusive, homophobic, or racist remarks/harassment of other players is not tolerated here. Please treat each other with respect.
Any feedback is appreciated on these by the way, or if you are interested in being a lead for Regional runs in Europe or ANZ please feel free to DM me.
