Character Restrictions
While there are not many restrictions as to the type of character you can play, you should be aware of the following policies:
- Character Age Requirements - Your character must be at least 18 years of age. Characters below the age of 18 are not permitted.
- Mute Character Policy - If you wish to play a mute character, we have some guidelines you will need to follow, and you must apply to play a mute character.
- You can find the Mute Roleplay Guide here.
- Roleplay Guide for New and Experience Roleplayers - A great resource for roleplayers of all experience levels, which outlines information on the time period that Wild West RP is based on, and good roleplay etiquette.
- Law, Justice and Retribution in the Old West - Some additional information specifically regarding aspects of the law and justice system in the Old West, and how it applies to Wild West RP [a bit dated, but good information].
- Abuse of Mechanics - A reminder that at the end of the day, this is a roleplay server. If you are abusing mechanics to win situations without considering the roleplay implications, you will be punished.

- Compensation Requests Forum - If you lose something of value on the server due to a bug, you can submit a compensation request here. Evidence of some kind is required.
- Name Change Request Forum - If you have changed your forum username within the last 30 days and cannot change it on your own again, you can request a name change here.
