Welcome to the new Isles of Purgatory forums!
I know that moving over here is kind of a pain, but we wanted a final polished forum for our server as we get closer and closer to release. I know a lot of you have questions, and hopefully a lot of what we have here will answer some of the more pressing ones you have.
When will IoP be done/released/ready to play?
As always we answer this question with "When it's done" - and sadly that date has been pushed back a little further yet to include some better systems for the players. You'll just have to trust me on this, the system that was being designed was...not a lot of fun for the players, and this new system will be great. We've done a lot of research into what makes great games great on a fundamental level recently, and done our best to incorporate this into all levels of the Isles - from pve, to your crafting system, to pvp and the server's story.
What I -can- tell you is this: head on over to this forum section here. This is the best guess as to when we will be ready to release. What we need to finish will all get posted here. Expect it to grow over the next couple of days as things I forgot to write down get added. Feel free to use this place to discuss the things you see us working on - as hey, you might want to give valuable input, and that's always great.
You can assume that once that forum is nearly empty, we're -really- close to being released.
Our setting thread is here.
And the first draft of the server rules are here.
If you'd like to discuss either of these threads, feel free to make a post about them here.
Races on IoP will be asked to fit within the logic of a Forgotten Realms/Greyhawk campaign setting. If it makes sense there, within the -core lore- (not the random written WOTC lore you can find all over the internet), then it probably will work on IoP. If you have a question, ask! We have a racial submission forum where you can ask to play a race, or even ask if your race can have a certain ability. More complicated requests will take longer to process or reply to, but that's the place to do it.
As for sex - sex is a tricky subject and the official stance is this: IoP does not condone ERP. We also do not punish for it oocly. Why? We want to encourage players to explore the world, wander it's reaches, learn about it, discover the secrets that are out there - not hole up in an inn room for 6+ hours. If you'd like to do that...well, we can't stop you, but do note that this is a setting - people will react to public indecency, sometimes poorly. Be prepared for that. Darker themes are certainly possible on IoP, so do not walk around expecting everyone to accept your character for what, or who, they are.
For anything else, feel free to make a thread. We'll reply to it asap! We'll be discussing things openly as well on the skype chat as we move forward, so if you'd like an invite, feel free to post your contact info in the OOC skype thread found here.

What are the isles about? What kind of rules can we expect to see on the isles?

What kind of races will be allowed on IoP? What about sexual stuff?
