Players and Characters
Genesis has several hundred players, increasing at an average of 3 players per day. During most part of the day, at least a dozen are logged in. The majority of the players are from United States, Sweden and Poland, although there are players from other 25 countries in lesser amounts.
According to the rules, a player can have several characters, but use only one at a time. Breaking this rule (known as double login) is considered cheating, with punishment ranging from warnings to character deletion.
There are two kind of players: those controlling mortal characters (usually referred as mortal players or just mortals) and those controlling immortal characters (usually known as immortals or wizards).
