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

a GM ran Event/Quest

he/she states.

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

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.
