I received a disturbing message today friends. GM's and other staff have been banning people who are roleplayers and encourage violence against groups of ingame races such as gnomes, high elves, barbarians and erudites, calling it "hatespeech and racism." Is harmless roleplaying in a high fantasy environment not allowed anymore? Dungeons and Dragons typically have roleplaying against specific races, why is it forbidden on an Everquest Emulator?

Staff can we receive a clear message regarding the legality of such gameplay? Roleplaying is a classic and valuable mechanic that many players immerse themselves in.
