General Rules

The following rules apply to all players during all times of gameplay

Language:

This is an ENGLISH based shard and all pages and questions or comments to staff MUST be done in ENGLISH

Respect Towards Others

GMs should be treated with respect, they are here to help run the shard on their free time please give them some peace and respect. Gm's may punish you as they see fit depending on the offense.

Paging

When paging for a GM please state your problem clearly and use the correct paging method on the help page. Pages not concerning problems will remain unanswered and will be deleted. Do not page asking for an event or for items.

AFK Macroing

AFK Macroing is NOT allowed and will not be tolerated. Your first offense will include a warning, along with whatever else the staff member thinks is fair. Your second offense will result in the macroed skill being dropped by 50% of it's current total. Any further offenses will result in the skill being dropped to 0.0%

Bug Abusing

Bug abusing is taking advantage of a glitch or method in the game for your benefit. If it is not supposed to work that way please contact a GM. You will not be punished for reporting a problem. People caught abusing bugs will be dealt with SEVERLY. Do not expect any rewards for reporting bugs, it will not happen.

GMs

GMs are here to help the player with their problems and help the shard with development and maintenance. A staff member will hold a event if he/she desires to. Please respect them when they are speaking, and do not ask for events or items. A GM is not allowed to give out items or tweak skills, don't ask cause they won't.

Name Changes

This is somewhat of a RP shard. If you desire a name change, you MUST have a very good reason for it. You will not recieve a name change just because you don't like your name anymore. So, choose wisely when creating your character. If a staff member feels that your name is offensive in any matter, they may either give you a chance to choose another name or change it themselves.

Account Rules

Multiple Accounts

You are allowed one account on Acheron. Anyone caught on a second account will have all accounts deleted. If you need more than one account on your IP, PM an admin or owner.

Account Spamming

Creating multiple accounts to spam the server will get your IP blocked permanently.

Characters

Once you create your characters, you are the sole owner for them. YOU will be held responsible for all actions of that character. If you allow someone else access to your account and they cause problems for your characters, that is your concern, not ours.

House Rules

Placement

Houses must be placed 1 space from another player's house or static building. Houses can not be placed in front of an entrance/exit or on a pathway. Guilds may purchase walls for their specific town.

Looting

House looting is fun. If you leave your house open and someone ganks all your shit, it sucks to be you. If someone has entered your house illegally, page for a GM with a screen shot. Illegal house looting will result in your bank being emptied in the victim's house on a first offense. After that, your bank will be emptied and your character deleted.

Events/Quest Rules

The following rules apply to all players during the time of a GM ran Event/Quest

GMs

If a GM holds an event or quest you must abide by the rules he/she states.

Items

All items given to you for an event must be returned to the GM after the event.

Forum Rules

The following rules apply to all users of the forums

Posting

Please post in the appropriate topic, look for your questions to see if they were already asked before posting.

Content

Posting links to pornographic material, warez, illegal downloads, using blatant racist attacks towards players/staff, discussing hacking another person/shard etc can have you banned from the forums/shard. 1st offence will be edited, 2nd offence will have your IP blocked from the forums AND the shard.

Posting illegal content in the forums can get your character punished in game i.e. advertising other shards, disrespecting staff, etc. Be warned, in Off-Topic FLAMING IS ALLOWED and encouraged. We here at Acheron feel that this encourages PvP. If you cannot handle it, do not go into those forums.

Advertising

You are not to advertise for other shards in game or in the forums.

Server

You WILL NOT attempt to send illegal packets to the server or attempt to hack the server. Anyone caught doing so will be dealt with to the fullest extent of federal laws.
