But if enough evidence is presented, the scammer will surely get their account permanently suspended. You may ask staff for assistance with large trades that can't fit within a single transaction pane.
4. Bots and Macros
Any use of automation software, either bots or macros or third party software of any kind is totally forbidden. Violation of this rule may imply the removing of the farmed gold/materials. Any type of “afk-farming” will also be judged under this rule.
Penalty: 48 hours/Permanent Ban
5. Bug Abuse
Any bug abuse is forbidden. Finding any kind of bug must be reported immediately. Any advantage obtained from bug abuse might end in item removal and the appropriate punishments. Terrain exploitation (such as intentionally standing within an object to prevent being targeted by enemies) also falls into this category, and is forbidden.
6. Stat Padding
Stat padding is defined as killing a character who willingly and consistently allows themself to be killed with the objective of helping other players increase their kill count. Any user caught stat padding (both killing and being killed) will receive a ban and have all their kills wiped from all characters. Additional action may be taken for repeat offenders and/or a permanent ban can be issued to the player(s).
7. Boss/Mini Boss Killing - Boss/Mini Boss Raid - Calling Bosses/Mini Boss
All boss/mini boss killings/raids must be called out in trade chat. All members of the raid can be held accountable for the calling of a boss/mini boss. Going for a boss/mini boss is considered a group action and you must always have your Union Party open so everyone can join. It's against our rules to kick someone from your party while doing a boss/mini boss unless that member is not helping take the boss/mini boss down or they are afk. You can only close the raid if the boss/mini boss HP is below 30%. Failure to close raid is NOT justification to kick someone that joined while the raid was still open. Boss/Mini Boss raids MUST use group loot/team order loot setting. No other loot setting is permitted. Players are not permitted to drop/rejoin raids in attempt to manipulate the drop order.
Note: If 2 or more raids are going for the same boss/mini boss, the smaller one will have to join the bigger one so everyone can participate. You can not have multiple raids on the same boss/mini boss.
8. PvP Raids - Kicking Members
All PvP must be done with an open raid and you are not allowed to have multiple raids/parties in the same pvp zone until your raid has at least 150 members. You are not allowed to kick members from your pvp raid unless they are not wearing ANY equipment or if they are ignoring commands. Before kicking, the player needs to be warned by using the union chat function. If two or more raids are going, the smaller one will have to join the bigger one so everyone can participate.
Once the main raid is full, you are allowed to create a new one until that one is full and so on.
9. Kill Stealing (KS)
Kill-stealing (normal monsters) itself is not considered an offense, but repeated KS can be seen as harassment and will be punished accordingly.
10. Animation cutting
Any form of animation cutting or canceling like skillcut, runecut, mountcut, anything-cut is not allowed in our server and will be treated like use of exploits/hacks.
11. Spawn Killing - Safe Zones
Spawn killing and entering the opposite faction's base/castle/stronghold/safe zone is not allowed and may result in account suspension. The opposing faction's base/safe zone is defined by anything behind the most forward (yellow named) guard.
12. Portal Killing / Camping
Portal Killing is when a user from the opposite faction continually kills users who are trying to load into the current zone. This includes killing players before they have a chance to step out of the portal (very similar to Spawn Killing). These actions are not allowed since it exploiting the fact that the other player is not done loading and its not ready to fight.
Account Related Rules
1. Accounts
Ownership of an account is determined by the associated email with which it was created. If you are playing with an account and you do not have access to that email, you might lose it if the actual creator of the account claims it as his or hers. It doesn't matter who trained a character or farmed items for it, only the owner of the email to which the account is linked is consider as the owner of the account. Remember: a player who never shares his/her account with others, will never lose a single item to thieving.
2. Account thieving
If you lose access to your account, you can always use the linked email to claim it back. Please, consider that the only way you can lose your account and any items on it, is by you willingly sharing its information, or by you using a system which is infected by a keylogger of some kind. Admins will not take responsibility in any of these cases, but will try to help you with recovering your account. But, as with the scamming rule, no items will be returned.
3. Investigating and access to accounts
If any account is suspected in any way, admins have the right to log it without previous notification to the owner. Only the admins will have this right, no other member of our staff will ever login your account. Admins do NOT need you to give your personal information for this, so please NEVER share your personal information with anyone in-game.
In case of account investigation, Admins may ban accounts for undetermined time until investigation is over.
4. Multiple Accounts
Players may have multiple accounts, but all accounts must be of the same faction. You may not use more than one account at the same time (a.k.a. dualing) for any reason besides a buffing character or shop character. Shop characters should remain in AH, and buff characters should remain in base areas. You may not use dual to summon your other character out of PvP. Players caught making alternate accounts for exploitation of PvP rewards will have those alternate accounts kill-wiped and/or banned (at the sole discretion of Admin). For the purposes of this rule and related issues, accounts linked to the same IP at any time will be required to be the same faction (unless specifically authorized in advance by Admin or GM).
5. Sharing Account
Sharing your account with a friend or someone else, is also against our rules and regulations.
Penalty: Permanent IP Ban and Permanent Account/s Ban
Punishments
All our rules are guidelines to preserve a fair and friendly experience in our server and its services.
