Roleplaying is one of the focal points of Lusternia, and because of this keeping things in-character is crucial. If you are out of character, likely people will tell you to stop speaking insanely - once you step into the shoes of your character, the computer, the 21st Century, none of that exists. Some players find it easiest to come up with a description of who their character is and to write things down to keep track.

== Collegiums == | |||
Your first experience in Lusternia will be the Collegium of your city or commune. Each city and commune has their own Collegium where novices and those newly inducted may be introduced to the history, lore, and geography of the city or commune. All Guild Administrators and their aides are able to assist and speak to college students, so you are not required to only seek your own group at this time. | |||
Each college consists of five tasks unique to each city or commune, but designed to give you an overview into the following subjects: History, Hunting, Planes and Planar Travel, Power, and Influencing. Checking your GUILD STATUS in the game will allow you to see what tasks you have left. If you complete all five tasks successfully you will graduate with honours (even after you graduate, if you complete the tasks left, you will be designated as graduating with honours!) | |||
Once you have graduated, you are under the domain of your guild to progress and advance further. As a college student your guild rank will be noted as COL, after graduating you are NOV for novice. At this point many guilds will require further tests to ride from NOV to rank 1, and so on. You are always still free to use CGT <message> to ask questions any time, however! | |||
