Netiquette

There are a few general tips to follow when communicating with people online, again this is not a comprehensive list, but follow these and hopefully everyone can have a more enjoyable time playing on Grepolis.

• Using capital letters for a whole word/phrase is like shouting, avoid this as much as possible.
• Irony and sarcasm can be detected through a change in tone of voice, not so online, remember someone could think you are being rude.
• You are talking to real people, if you wouldn't say something to their face don't say it to them online.
• This is a game and everyone wants to have fun, so be gracious in defeat as well as victory.
• Avoid excessive acronyms, the may be faster to type, but can be a lot harder to read.
• If you want to write messages to other players as if you were a Greek king, then do so, that's what this game is about.
