Guidelines, Conventions and Rules on a Role Play Server

Lissana talks about role play servers, what you can expect there, the conventions, and a link to Blizzard's rules about how to conduct yourself while there.

Since this must be Role Play Day*, Gazimoff wrote a long article about role play with a lot of useful links to guides, folks who wrote how to role play articles, and blogs documenting role play experience.

UPDATE:  Naming conventions by class with links to help you choose a name that won't get you reported.
