A lot of forums have karma on their forums, and many people are for and against karma for numerous reasons. But here at EL you have an option, in your account settings section you can opt out or opt in to having Karma.
With that said you are probably wondering what the subject line means then.
Karma will equal in game money on EL, if you have a lot of it, you can buy rare items in game. (We are not sure how this will work yet, still in planning.) With that said, you can also gift karma to another user. Meaning there will be a "Herd Master" Admin account which you can PM with the said user of choice, and choose to give them Karma, we then will minus it from your account, and give it to the other user.
But like Karma, it can be taken away by users for many reasons. If you post rude things on the forum, troll, and generally become obnoxious, your karma will be slowly nipped away by the community.
Like horses in real life, we will nip trouble makers to punish them. Users that are active on the forum, posting positive feed back, making others feel welcomed, overall being helpful, will have higher karma, and be able to purchase rare objects or even playable meshes in game.
Remember you don't have to partake in this, just choose to opt out of karma, but since we are giving you the option of winning free stuff with this new type of game currancy, we expect and kindly ask that you not complain, it is your choice if you don't want to participate.
Anyone caught abusing the karma system...
moderators giving friends karma for no reason,
People randomly nipping others with no reason.
People making multiple accounts just to boost the karma of their main.
Will face the wrath of the EL staff, meaning...
Your multiple accounts will be deleted, usernames of those banned, and the emails attached to them.
The karma on your main account reset, and placed at negative ten.
Moderators fired.
We will try to have this system be as fair as possible, that way the people who behave on the forum will be rewarded for their good behavior.
Thank you.
