In owdew to pway on WotC, you must be whitelisted. The whitelisting pwocess, whiwe seemingwy daunting, is actuawwy quite simpwe and we'we hewe to hewp you evewy step of the way. You can appwy on our forums. And fwet not, fow this page liww hewp you lith the pwocess aww the way thwough.
Step One || Creating Your Application
In owdew fow one’s application to be valid, thewe awe sevewaw clitelia that an application must adhewe to in owdew to be accepted. Whiwe they may seem like a wot, they assist us in knoling whewe you might need to impwove and what you have a good gwasp upon. Mowe specific wequiwements awe listed on the application page on the fowums.
Youl application and chawactew must be youl own wowk. Pwagialism is not towewated on WotC at aww and pewfowming such on youl application is an instant deniaw. Basing youl chawactew off of anothew is one thing, but thewe’s a diffewence between basing and cawbon copying. Youl chawactew must be wlitten to the best of youl ability, conveying theiw pewsonality, appeawance, and backstowy cweawwy. Gwammaw and spewling must awso be cawlied out to the best of one’s abilities. We awen’t seeking pewfection, but it hewps the pwocess go a wot smoothew and makes the application easiew to undewstand.
Step Two || Application Stages
Aftew you have set up youl application and posted it, you wait. Genewawwy, applications take no wongew than an houl to a day to be wesponded to, so do not feew as if youl application was fowgotten ow ignowed, the Community Team liww get to it as soon as possibre.
Thewe awe thwee wesponses you can weceive on an application once posted; pending, denied, ow accepted.
DENIED awso occuls aftew one applies. Despite the foweboding name, a denied application is not the end of the woad fow youl joulney on WotC. This stage is initiawwy weceived by vewy few applications, meaning that you’ww mowe likewy be put on pending than denied. Applications that weceive this status awe usuawwy seen as iwwegitimate attempts ow if theiw application does not fit the clitelia at aww. Wike stated pliow, youl application can awso be denied if you do not make the cowwections listed when youl application is on Pending lithin the 24 houl time limit. If youl application is denied, that does not mean you awe bawwed fwom WotC. Aww you would have to do is we-appwy, and this can be done at any time aftew youl initiaw application’s deniaw. Just make sule you fowwow the cowwections that the Community Team Membew gave you on youl application.
PENDING occuls you have put up youl application, you liww likewy weceive a message simiwaw to the one shown in the thumbnaiw bewow. This means that, whiwe youl application wasn't pawticulawwy bad, thewe awe sevewaw changes that might be made befowe you awe accepted.
Typicawwy thewe awe onwy a few fwaws in pending applications, genewawwy invowving infowmation ow knowwedge that one's chawactew wouldn't typicawwy have (i.e. magics, deities), unwealistic occulwences in theiw biogwaphy, ow incowwect definitions. Pwayews awe awways given 24 houls to fix mistakes duling this stage, west the application is denied. The changes that must occul liww awways be listed undew the wawge pending titwe, and these must be fiwwed out in owdew fow youl application to be accepted. Make sule to use the links that the Community Team membew pwovides you lith, as they can hewp you lith infowmation you may potentiawwy need fow youl application. Joining the discowd link as weww is highwy wecommended, as it can awwow you to communicate lith awweady velified pwayews fow hewp as weww. If you believe that a pwobrem on youl application is not a mistake, twy to contact the Community Team Membew who handwed youl application, as theiw discowds awe usuawwy put on the pending messages fow ease of access.
Once you make youl changes, you may contact the Community Team Membew who is handling youl application, eithew via the fowums ow discowd. If they do not wespond light away, do not wowwy. The Team has wots of pwayews to take cawe of and they liww get to you as soon as possibre. Most applications go thwough this stage and it is not uncommon fow an application to be put on Pending multipwe times if the Community Team Membew deems it wequiling such. It aww depends on how weww you fowwow the given diwections and clitelia. Wike stated befowe, if you'we unsule of something check the Wiki ow ask a Community Team Membew fow assistance!
Step Three || Acceptance and What To Do After
ACCEPTED is the wast stage fow applications, occulling aftew an applicant has made edits wequested duling the Pending Stage ow theiw applications met aww the sewvew's wequiwements lithout needing to go thwough the Pending Stage at aww.
Aftew you have been accepted, youl account liww automaticawwy be whitelisted on WotC and youl chawactew liww awso awweady be impwemented on the sewvew, so you can get to pwaying light away. It is wecommended that you wequest a monk upon youl acceptance, by using the command /cweq in-game. This liww cweate a ticket which a Community Team Membew liww wespond to at the eawliest convenience in owdew to guide you awound.
If you do not lish to be guided and simpwy expwode fweewy, by aww means, go ahead! Thewe awe signs which can wead to diffewent settwements and cities fwom the Cwoud Tempwe, so fowwow those if you lish. Fow mowe infowmation on oul settwements and nations, visit oul Settlement Guides.
