FAQ 4: Forums, Chat, Links & the Post Office









FAQ 4a: Where are the chat rooms?

Dragon Court 1 doesn't have just one official Chat Room.

On 9/1/2003 The Towne Square closed.

In its place are many excellent Player Created Chat Rooms.

You can find links to these Chat Rooms from the Dragon Court 1
Page.  From DC 1, see the Grey Column to the left of the game.

See the Towne Square Chat room link which is under the section
headed by "OTHER". 

On the Towne Square Chat Page, there are two links, one for 
"Submitting links" and the other to view the Chat Room Links.

Enjoy!  The community worked so hard on all these great places!







FAQ 4b: How do I post messages on the Forums?
 

Click on the button that says, "Post a message."  

That will bring up a new screen which asks you to put in your Dragon 
Court name, password and a subject title for your message.  

There is also a panel for entering your message.  

You can type directly into the panel, or you can cut and paste 
longer messages from text files and such.





FAQ 4c:  Why can't I post in the Forums?


Most likely it is because one of two problems.


    

  1. The Most likely reason is that your hero does not meet the 
age and or rank requirements for the forum you are trying to
post in.  

All forums have age requirements of a minimum of one day.

Here is a list of requirements for the different forums 
(the age is the minimum age for access and is a day not a year).  
Within 60 days, you will have access to all the forums. 


    
Champs Forum:	    name/password +age = 60
     

    Salamander Tavern:  name/password +age = 1
    

    Clan Hall	    name/password +age = 7
    

    Tome of History	    name/password +age = 15
    

    Trading Post	    name/password +age = 7
    

    War Stories	    name/password +age = 30
    

    Peasants Forum	    name/password +age = 1
    

    Congress of Nobles  name/password and Rank = 1-6
    

    House of Lords	    name/password and Rank = 7-9
    

    Bugs Forum	    no requirements--No name posts Anonymous

    

    

  2. If you have been playing Dragon Court for a while, as in
over several years, than this second reason for posting troubles
with forums could be for you.  Heroes of one year of age and
younger would not have this trouble.

Older heroes may not necessarily have a registered EMail
address.  This is because the registered EMail was optional
until about 2001.  

If you your hero does not have a registered EMail, you won't
be able to post in the forums.  Not having a registered EMail
makes using the Utilites difficult too.

      
To add an EMail to your hero:

    1. see the DC Utilies Page (can use a link such as "Find Password" from
the Dragon Court Game page, this link is on the Grey Column)

    2. Once you are on the DC Utilites Page, find the Change Email
Utility

    3. Just leave the field for "OLD EMAIL" blank since you did
not have one

    4. input your new EMail (it is best to use a private one for
DC 1 for the greatest security)





FAQ 4d: How do I send stuff to other players?



From the Post Office inside the Castle.

See FAQ 3c if you need help on how to gain access to the Castle.  

With your ability to explore the Castle, click on the icon and 
from within the Castle find the Post Office icon, and click it.  

You will enter the Post Office.  Note on the left underneeth the 
Postman, an icon that says, "send mail." Click this send mail icon.  

You will now enter into another screen where you can assemble the 
packages you wish to send.  

At the top, notice the "Send To:" with a bar.  This is where you will 
input the mail address for the person you are sending to.  You can see 
the items within your backback, and the package screen that displays the 
contents of the package you are assembling.  
   	
Note:  you will be charged 100 marks per package you send.  

You also receive any Dragon Court mail items here and there is likewise 
a 100 mark fee.




FAQ 4e: Where can I see Dragon Court Clan websites?


To the left of the Dragon Court 1 Game, see the Grey Column.

On that Column, look for the Section headed by "Other".
Under "Other" you should see a link to CLAN Links.
The CLAN LINKS page will have multiple listings of the
different clan's websites.
