This thread is currently serving as a placeholder as many of the things that are like to be frequently asked are currently being hammered out. Please send me a message if you have a question/answer you would like me to add.
Q: Since your Chartered Company's alignment is Neutral Good, what alignments could my characters be?
A: LG, NG, CG, TN
Q: How early will members of this Charted Company be playing in-game?
A: We have at least one member who will be involved in Alpha testing. Ryan Dancey is also quoted saying that they will not being keeping anything about the Alpha test secret, as that goes against the idea of Crowdforging. So our Alpha member will be able to share with us his experiences in game while we wait for the majority of members to join in Early Enrollment.
Q: Do I have to be a member of a Ring to engage in the activities usually covered by that ring, i.e. is Iron membership required if I want to craft the occasional item?
A: Nope. Our Chartered Company runs on a base philosophy of maximizing personal freedoms without doing harm to others. Your characters can do anything they want to do. Joining a Ring just associating yourself with a group of people that share the same primary interest with you.
Q: What does "Thou shalt not initiate agression" or "Thou shalt not agress" really mean?
A: Do not attack others, threaten to attack others, commit fraud, or thieve except in response to hostile and violent behavior. You do not have to wait for an enemy to strike you before you strike back, but as a general rule, don't pick a fight.
Note that the initiation of force is not tolerated by The Circle, not the use of it - if you are defending yourself or another, threatening to attack someone who is behaving violently towards you or someone else, defrauding an enemy in a time of war, or stealing back goods from someone who initially stole them from you, you are NOT committing aggression. These examples are not exhaustive.
Q: How do I join the Keepers of the Circle?
A: Currently you simply apply for an account here on these forums.
