Frequently Asked Questions
WHAT KIND OF SITE IS THIS?
This is a play-by-post roleplay community that focuses primarily on wolves, but we allow one non-wolf character per member. We are an intermediate to advanced community, with a word minimum of 200 per in-character post. We have a central storyline and allow the members of the community to incorporate their very own plots into our own, both minor and major.
HOW DO I JOIN?
You are required to register an account with us and activate it by using the activation code sent to the e-mail you register your account with.
HOW DO I GET STARTED?
You need to read and understand the rules and central plot, first. Once you've finished doing so, you can have a look at the character creation guide in the "Tribunal" section. Once you're familiar with the information given to you, you can fill out a character application and post it for a staff member to review it. The staff member will either approve it or tell you how to change your application in order to be approved. We make an effort to review profiles ASAP after they are posted.
WHAT IS A "WRITE-YOUR-OWN-STORY" COMMUNITY?
Here at Primeval, we supply our members with two central plots. One of those plots is spiritual in nature, while the other has to do with extreme weather conditions and devastating natural disasters. Members are given the freedom to create their very own plots, both minor and major, and incorporate them into Primeval's legacy.
CAN WE REALLY START OUR OWN PLOTS?
Absolutely. All we require is that they fit in to Primeval's world, and work with our central story. Major plots must be approved, however, just to prevent any problems in the community. You are encouraged to visit the plotting board and create plots together as a community. The possibilities are limitless!
CAN I CREATE MY OWN PACK?
You certainly can, just find enough members and fill out the pack application. You must also supply me with a description of the territory so I can find a stock image for your board. Make sure to check whether or not we are accepting new packs, as there are a limited amount allowed.
CAN I BE THE ALPHA OF A PACK?
Yes, you can. You can either challenge an Alpha of an existing pack or start your own. While it is generally uncommon in most RP communities, you should be prepared to defend your rank and pack if you decide to take charge. All ranks must be obtained either through challenging and fighting for it with an existing wolf, being appointed by the Alpha, or gaining it through dominance and submission rituals with the rest of the pack.
CAN MY CHARACTER HAVE HORNS/WINGS/AWESOME COLORS?
We are a semi-realistic community, which means that your characters design must be realistic. You cannot have a wolf with horns, wings or pink fur. We allow some unrealistic colours for eyes, but that is it. You can purchase an unusual marking or an albino character from the Den of Ancients, which is our site store.
WHAT IS THE DEN OF ANCIENTS?
For every post you make on site, you are awarded with 3 Runes. Runes are the site's currency. Those runes build up over time, and you can spend them at Primeval's virtual store: Den of Ancients. Spamming and posting short, useless posts in order to gain Runes is against the rules. You will have those Runes removed if you so do.
CAN I BE A STAFF MEMBER?
Unfortunately, no. If I am looking for more staff members, I will personally contact an active, dedicated member and offer them the position based on their involvement in the community and how mature, reasonable and dedicated they are.
