As you know, we haven't been enforcing our item rule— which states that members must buy an item from the shops in order to use it in a roleplay— for the past two months, to give members (there are so many of you!) a chance to earn silver and buy the items they need. Starting on January 16, 2016, one month from today, we will begin enforcing this rule. We want to make sure everyone is informed about this, so we're giving you notice now, and there will periodic reminders as we get closer to the date.

If anyone has any questions, please post in the Help board, or send a message to one of our amazing moderators, Dalanesca and Nemesis.
