IC vs OOC

In Fat Duck Gaming, the terms IC (in-character) and OOC (out-of-character) are used to distinguish the difference between the in-character world and the real world. The concept of IC and OOC is common among almost all roleplay servers. The difference between OOC and IC is important in roleplay to maintain immersion and create a more realistic and engaging roleplaying experience. It helps players differentiate between personal discussions and actions related to their characters, preventing confusion and enhancing the overall roleplay atmosphere. At no point while in the server will you have to talk OOC or use information obtained OOC. Your character(s) should never behave or make decisions based on OOC information.

OOC (Out-of-Character)

• Refers to interactions outside of the game world or roleplay.
• Involves player-to-player conversations, technical discussions, and unrelated topics.
• Any conversations held of discord. Voice Chats or messages
