Previous character knowledge

KageKeeper:
One thing I wanted to point out..

If a player has more then one character, while playing the new character, he/she should not know the locations of everything or the required items needed for a quest ahead of time either.

In my mind that is meta gaming and poor RP. When a player first arrives with their first character they do not know this until they are shown around. Using OOC knowledge is not RP. Sending a tell to someone and request assistance when dead, not good RP.

Maybe it's just me. *shrug* If it is, I apologize.

FlameStrike:
That's all true, and it's sad when it happens.

 Of course that you are free to explore areas that as a player you know that exist, even if your purpose is to get a certain item, and claim you were pointed out in that direction by someone... There are more people around towns than just the visible NPC's and Players. ;)

Leanthar:
*nods* 100% correct and this should always be RP'd.

Etinfall:
Heh, when I take my new char somewhere he hasn't been before I always rp that I get lost. Like if we are running to Hampshire, I take a right in Krandor outskirts and keep going untill someone comes and gets me.

"Hey, you...it is this way!!!"

vgn:
There's a difference between knowing the quests and knowing the area. For me, it all depends on character background. If my new character comes from somewhere on Mistone and either he or his family is traveled at all, then it's not a stretch that he would know areas, and may know some better than other characters.
Likewise, if the character is from some area on Dregar, Roldem, or elsewhere, he may be quite lost on Mistone, but know the other areas quite well.
