**'''Abuse Reminder'''
***The quests required to enter the new areas are long and time consuming if you haven't done any of them.
***DO NOT come to Help Desk to ask for ways to skip the quests or to complain about how difficult you think they are. No, you may not come to Help Desk and suggest ways to shorten them or make them easier.
***You will be removed without an answer and punished if you abuse the sign up feature.
****Other players and GMs with experience doing the quests will provide some insight. The quests related to accessing new areas have been tested and all of them are working as intended. If you are having issues, calm down and re-read the Wiki or Guide you are using. Follow the steps and pay attention to what you are reading.
***DO NOT come to Help Desk if you are having issues with a quest or have questions about the new areas.
****Help Desk is not an answering service, and no GMs will have 100% accurate answers for these new areas.
****Please use the thread for asking any questions about quests. It will serve as an F.A.Q. for other players, and prevent GMs from answering the same quest a dozen times.
****Staff members are human too. Do not take your frustration out on them if something is not working as you expected. Please remain mature and go through the proper channels to get assistance or discuss a problem.
**If you discover an error or bug that you suspect can be abused please report it directly to a GM via the Help Desk, the Reports section, or a direct PM.
