Identify Friend or Foe is an initiative conceived to prevent friendly natives from being killed by outsiders and vice versa. The initiative is based on real-life IFF systems used in combat. To identify a friendly member of the opposing faction, the following procedure is employed:

  1. Upon encountering a member of the opposing faction, give that character a gold coin or some other token object.
  2. The game's response will cause a link to that player's profile to be generated.
  3. View the player's profile and determine if that person has ever killed a member of your class.
    • If so, you may commence your attack as normal.
    • If not, you must assume the player is friendly and refrain from attacking.

If your character or group supports Identify Friend or Foe, please consider adding the "Identify Friend or Foe Supporter" box to your group or personal page by adding "{{IdentifyFriendOrFoe}}" to the text of your page. See Category:IFF supporter for a list of supporters.
