The server rules do state quite clearly that enforcing metagaming is difficult to do for a variety of reasons. Still, it would be nice if this sort of thing was role-played a bit better.

As an example, not too long ago we confronted a full party of four inside a BDP for a fight. Relaxed Ponytail role-played escaping to get help, while his other three party members bravely sacrificed themselves to us in combat. This is excellent, and he didn't even use an alga plume.

By contrast, yesterday evening we were all hanging out in Dormeho, fishing and diving and just chatting with a couple players who were also in the area. Out of nowhere the guards show up in a full party wanting to pick a fight. Nobody left the scene to notify guards, so very obviously what happened was out-of-game communication. Guards are easy to beat so I won't complain too much, but one would still expect guards to follow rules and role-play at least as well as normal players.
