Metagamming

Metagamming, is a term used in Second Life when a player comes up to another player in roleplay and addresses the other player by their in character name when both players characters have never met before. This should be highly avoided as often times players will not always share their character name with their user name. Please do not metagame, you wouldn't walk up to someone you don't know in real life and address them by their first name casually, so why do it in Second Life?
