Certain roles on Gor are restricted to experienced players and main characters. In the pursuit of cultivating the Gorean community which has been established on this server and the dedication to preservation of the Gorean theme, we have established a list of roles which will require either a serious amount of time dedicated to the role specifically or great deal of familiarity and experience with Gor and Gorean roleplay.

This is a work in process. There is a lot to organize and discuss.

Application Restrictions - Experience Required
  • Torvaldsland Born Character, Gorean Race, and Male Avatar

  • A list of role specific activities you have done in role-play before so our mentor admin can begin a discussion with you.
