Apocrypha hosts themed auctions of artifacts, curios, and oddities. You will not be disappointed by each auction’s hand-picked selection, the cream of the crop that rises beyond other items of mystique in Mister Apocrypha’s stores. At least one item from each set will pique your interest. ~

Note that we aren’t responsible for any mishaps that occur as a result of the misuse of any of our products or misfortunes that take place upon the item leaving the establishment.

Please Read

Age of Play: All players must be over the age of 18 to join.Trial period: All new members undergo a 2 week trial before being accepted as full members of the Apocrypha. During this period, you are not allowed to make a chamber or add alts to the company. If you make a chamber and fail your trial, the cost will not be refunded. If we feel you or your character are not a good fit for the Apocrypha you may be asked to leave.OOC Respect: Involved in an ongoing plot with several members of community? Please ensure all members involved are aware OOC before, for example, assassinating them IC. Character death can only occur with OOC consent.Goofing off: We tend to occasionally goof off OOC, though please be mindful where you do this. Please avoid the cities if you’re hopping around or spamming emote messages. If someone is nearby RPing do not interrupt their immersion with antics you could be doing elsewhere.Mature Emotes: It happens and sometimes is necessary for communicating to a larger group OOC. If you are in a publicly inhabited area and your current RP is getting graphic/gory or intensively sexual, please move the RP to party chat.Passive-aggressive behavior: Here at Apocrypha we understand sometimes you've had a bad day. While the odd passive aggressive remark will likely be overlooked, ongoing passive-aggressive behavior OOC will not be allowed. If you cannot socialize OOC without resorting to passive aggressive comments, snide remarks or getting into arguments, please consider taking a step away from the FC chat channel.Griefing/unsolicited advances: No Griefing on social media, chat channels, dungeons, et al. If you are addressing someone inappropriately OOC, consider you might be making them uncomfortable and cease this activity. Not sure? Ask them instead of assuming.IC is not OOC: Metagaming, constantly retconning RP, and blurring the lines between IC/OOC means people will be less inclined to RP with you and could result in your removal if it gets out of control.Free company members and associates will not OOCly harass, inflame, incite, or attack others, either within or outside of the free company, publicly or privately, for any reason, including race, gender, sexual or fetishist preferences.Requests for free services and items: Any services such as crafting items without providing materials, art without payment, cash store items or similar in game and out of game services are not to be requested, hinted at or pressured for from free company or linkshell members.

We aren't an alt closet or a revolving door for your characters.No ERP in the public linkshell or public channels. Do whatever you wish in group chat or tells, preferably somewhere private. We understand MT's happen but please try your best to avoid it.Hiatuses happen and are needed, just let us know please.Disciplinary System VERY SIMPLE: OOC Rules Breaking - 3 strikes you’re out system.
