Why do you have a probationary period?

The probationary period was brought in because we recognise that not everybody apps well. Having a probationary period means that we can have some discretion when we receive a borderline application which we would otherwise feel we had to reject. It gives players a chance to really show what they can do. Conversely, we also know that someone's application is not and can never be a reflection of how they will mesh within a game.

The probationary period is only one month long and we anticipate having to use it only rarely. If your first month in the game passes, unless you have been informed otherwise, the probationary period is over.
