I never thought I would have to write this but it's gotten to the point I think I should. As you all know Feral Heart is a game that is filled with players of all different kinds that come from all different backgrounds. It can be a really fun game, but sometimes things are brought up that shouldn't be.
Quite often I have noticed people on Feral Heart bringing out their issues in public chat, such as a tragedy that has happened recently, often without being asked about it. This is often provoked by something being said in the chat that is related to such a thing. If something is bothering you in local chat, it's best to block the person saying it or to turn off local chat. If it's something that is very inappropriate for the game then it should be reported. I'm going to use an example to show something that happened recently on the chat that needs to be avoided. It's completely anonymous.
As I was going through the grounds, people were telling others not to say a specific word because it was a trigger word. As far as I remember, it was a simple word. They then began speaking about the anxiety and suicide attempts that they had done because of the word.
Now I understand that people have issues, and I understand some people help out others when it comes to these issues that are brought up in game. But speaking of these issues in a public chat is not okay. Remember, this is a game it's meant to be fun and void of serious issues outside of it. I'm not saying people shouldn't bring the issues up with their friends on Feral Heart in a private chat, but please refrain from using the public chat because it can cause people to become depressed.
Also, even in private chat I believe it's best if you understand that everyone has problems, and that it's important to not take advantage of the kindness of others. Remember that even if someone wants to help you, they don't exist just for you. Please refrain from threatening harm to yourself or anyone. If you truly are upset, then the best thing to do is to speak to someone whom you're very close to instead of bringing it into a game.
Now as I said, sometimes it can help to bring it out into the game. But please keep everyone in mind when you are doing such a thing, and keep it in a private chat.
I hope this helps with avoiding drama in the future.
(This is no way means that I wont help those who need it, I do my best to help others who have personal issues, but I'm really just saying this because not everyone wants to hear them. It's important to keep everyone in mind and remember that this is a game and not a place for therapy. This is also a safety thing because there are people out there who will use your issues against you and try to make you even more miserable. Remember to play safely.)
