Metagaming is doing stuff that isn't realistic. Like bunnyhopping.

Correct me if I'm wrong.

And Snickers, metagame is when you use OOC information for IC purposes, for example you know the hood of an gang OOCly, but ICly you didn't discovered it in RP ways and you pretend as you know it, but you only know it OOC.
Or another example of metagame is when you meet a person IC but you don't know his name ICly, and you're just looking above him where the name is written, and then you call his name. :P

I'll make it short:
PG = Using a force/ability/object you don't have (ex. "/me is superman and cannot die". "/me pulls out a knife" even though you don't have a knife). It's also forcing another player into something - like "/me knocks John out" than /knockout ID. It's supposed to be "/me attempts to knock John out with his bat" and waiting for John's response.

MG = using OOC information ICly. Best example is knowing a player's name only by looking at his NameTag without ever finding his name in RP ways.
