A reminder of the rules.
Posted: Thu Mar 28, 2013 4:03 pm
1. Harassment. This includes making out of character threats, sending unwanted messages when asked to stop, using offensive language, making unwanted out-of-character attacks or comments, or using in-character justifications for what are really out-of-character assaults.
2. Attacking other characters without the players' consent. This is not a PK shard, it's players versus the environment. Consensual PvP - where the players agree their characters will fight, an organized war, a challenge to duel which is accepted, etc. - is allowed.
3. Theft. This includes taking items from other players' houses without their permission, looting their kills, looting other players without their permission. Don't take things that don't belong to you. Tame animals and animals in houses, pens or corrals should be considered the property of the person that owns house, pen or corral, or is the pet's master.
4. Sexually explicit language, cursing, and slurs are not permitted in public areas, nor as part of character names. Such language may be prohibited even in private messages, to the extent it amounts to harassment.
5. Asking GMs or Seers to change your stats or skills (except in the case of repairing damage caused by a bug) is not permitted, nor is getting or asking them to create items, npcs, or to confer any other unfair advantage.
6. Players are limited to one account, which is in turn limited to 5 characters.
7. If you find a bug, you must report it. Taking advantage of a bug is not permitted.
8. Making false accusations under these rules is itself a punishable offense.
9. Absentee macroing while in public. This is rude. Having a macro that spams the screen while you're away is doubly rude.
10. Being obnoxious repeatedly, or as a matter of playstyle. Giving a character an inappropriate name is considered obnoxious behavior. [see below]
Violations of these rules should be reported to GMs. If immediate action is necessary, the GM will jail the offending character and report the incident to Player Relations.
For most offenses, Player Relations will afford a punishment suitable to the scale of the offense:
* In the case of Harassment, PKing, or Theft, the offending character may be, and probably will be, deleted. For repeated offenses, the matter will be referred to the Lead Administrator.
* For deliberately crashing The World of Dreams, the matter will be referred to the Lead Administrator.
* For any other offense, a warning is likely on the "first offense". Repeat offenses will result in loss of stats, lowering of skills, bankwipes and other property deletion, or character deletion. Continued offenses beyond that point will be referred to the Lead Administrator.
The Lead Administrator will afford a punishment suitable to the scale of the offense(s) up to, and including, banning the account.
