Tip From the Tree of Life #1

(Thanks to Christina Icedreamer a.k.a Icywiz for suggesting me this great title to use! Maybe this will run well with "Tip of the Iceburg"?)

I decided to start doing this little thing on my blog. I got the idea from when I first posted the player impersonation post. (Which you can see in my blog as well.) What I will be doing is posting tips about game etiquette for Wizard101, but it can be used for almost any online game as well. This is especially to inform younger wizards, or anyone who would like the information.

For my first post, I would like to talk about friend requests. Everyone likes to have friends available to ask for help in the game. Some people though just want to fill their friends list with high level players. Check out these rules before clicking the friend request button.

(Rule #1: Know the Person) You are more likely to make a friend in game if you actually get to know the person a little bit before you ask for a friend request. I don't just randomally accept a friend request if I do not know the person at all, or have never even talked to them.

(Rule #2: Help the Person) If you want to be on someone's friends list, you might have to prove your worth. Helping a person out will increase your chances of getting accepted. However, make sure that you are willing to continue to help that person out if they need it, or you will not last long on that list.

(Rule #3: Ask First) Before you send a request, it's polite to ask first before you send the request. They may accept if you just send it, but if you are polite, it may increase your odds of getting a "Yes".

(Rule #4: Respect Their Decision) If someone says no, or they just don't respond, chances are that they do not want to be on their friends list, and that's ok, it's not a crime. Don't bug a person about being on their friends list. It will just give you a bigger chance of being ignored than being on their friends list.

(Rule #5: Play As Often As You Can) When you are on people's friends list, try to play as often as you can. If you don't play often, people will remove you for people who do play often. People like players who are active and are usually on in times of need.

Well, that's about it. take these tips to good use. Remember, good etiquette is a very important factor to making friends in game.
