> Is it casually ... is it formal ... a mix of both. Is it a heap of "oh blessed one..." or "can I talk to you out the back". I would really like to see some examples if possible.( by elites would be even better.)
You asked for elites... and got me. Bummer.
Anyway, you should decide if the pray is IC or OOC. OOC prayers are for things like bug reports, reporting rules violations, and the like. If it's OOC, talk like it's OOC, and be patient.
Most of the time, you will be IC. In that case, remember that all 53+ IMMs hear all prayers. Include the name of who you are speaking to, and don't spam the channel. Speak the way you would speak to the IMM if they were in the room with you. Most of the time, this involves being respectful, humble, and attentive. Depending on the deity in question, you will want to alter your tone.
