Some of you may have noticed that they were mysteriously gaining questpoints. This was a testrun with very promising results, so now it will be an official scheme to encourage roleplay and staying in character.
The Watchers have assembled a number of recruits to randomly check on those who are clanned. When you are seen roleplaying, you can be rewarded a questpoint.
Of course, the more you participate in roleplaying, the more chances you have at being spotted and subsequently being rewarded.
Please don't pray or ask for an immortal to drop by when roleplaying, the random chance of you being spotted should be taken as an encouragement to stay in character.
