Glossary:Position

Position defines a player's rank, or status, on Hyrule Castle. There are three of these so-called ranks, namely Newcomer, Regular, and Veteran. Each position offers slight benefits over the one before it.

Newcomer

Any player who has freshly joined Hyrule Castle is a Newcomer, or "Newbie." A Newcomer is expected to read the Guide to Hyrule Castle and, if interested in role-playing here, create a character and begin having adventures.

A player has a slight restriction on creating his or her first character. This first character he or she creates must be based on one of the example origins provides in that race's description. Furthermore, the first character must be of a standard race. Uncommon and Elite races require the user either have rupees to spend, or be a Veteran, neither of which can happen unless the player has already made a character.

For every character a Newcomer creates, the player assigns it 4 additional PWC points, in addition to the baseline PWC points provided by the character's race.

After 30 days of activity, a Newcomer is automatically promoted to Regular.

Regular

It is assumed that a Regular has made at least one character as a Newcomer. A Regular should be familiar with Hyrule Castle and its workings, and understands concepts like PWC, Treasures, and character creation.

For every character a Regular creates, the player still assigns it 4 additional PWC points, in addition to the baseline PWC points provided by the character's race. A Regular is able to create a character any common race, and an Unusual Character as normal, without using example origins. A Regular can also create a character of an Uncommon or Elite race, but must acquire a Race License to do so.

It is assume most players are Regulars, and will not be promoted to Veteran. To be considered for promotion, a Regular is expected to be an active and skilled role-player, be particularly knowledgeable of Hyrule Castle's systems, and go out of his or her way for the benefit of the site or its members. Such a player should be both experienced and trustworthy. If a Staff Member is particularly wise, he will privately contact this Regular and offer him or her to be promoted to Veteran.

Veteran

Once a player reaches the position of Veteran, the position is generally kept so long as the player doesn't go out of his or her way to become unworthy of it. An active staff member of Hyrule Castle is considered to be an honorary Veteran.

For every character a Veteran creates, the player assigns it 5 additional PWC points, in addition to the baseline PWC points provided by the character's race. Upon being promoted to Veteran, the player may give an additional point to every character created as a Regular. Furthermore, the Major Gain treasure is less costly for a Veteran.

A Veteran has free access to Uncommon Races, and can obtain a Race License for Elite Races at a lesser cost. If the Veteran previously acquired a Race License as a Regular, the Veteran can return the additional rupees spent to the character(s) who originally paid for the License(s).

A Veteran has the option to approve characters, quests, and dungeons. When appropriate, the Veteran must message a Staff Member to make the appropriate changes, such as moving threads or changing user groups. A Veteran is never expected to do such things, but can do so if they desire to help out.

Finally, Veterans have access to a hidden forum available only to other Veterans. This forum is intended to be used for matters such as grading quests, or discussion of similar Veteran or Staff-related topics.
