- PLAYER POLICIES:
-
- The following actions are prohibited on the game, and anyone
- caught breaking these rules will be subject to punishments such as prison
- time, loss of experience, character deletion or site lockout.
-
- 1. Do not crash the game.
- This is punishable by site lockout.
- Crashers ruin the game for everyone, so if you are on during a
- crash and suspect that another character may have been the cause, please
- mail a DM.
-
- 2. Do not sell quest items.
- The quests are a vital part of the game, and players are
- encouraged to share information, go on quests together, and share quest
- items. However, you should never sell or purchase _any_ quest item.
-
- 3. Do not drag monsters.
- Intentionally bringing aggressive monsters into areas that they
- do not belong is prohibited.
-
- 4. Do not flood or 'spam' other players.
- The best way to handle this is to ignore the player, and allow a
- caretaker to deal out the punishment. This includes, but is not limited
- to, repeated flashes and emotes.
-
- 5. Do not multi-log.
- This is to insure that everyone has equal access to the game.
- This does not mean that you can't have multiple characters, just that you
- should concentrate on playing _one_ at a time. ***Do not log in more than
- one of your characters at a time.*** This is regardless of the number of
- accounts or computers you have at your disposal.
- Strange things have been known to happen to characters that abuse
- this policy. NOTE: For policy purposes a log into the queue is considered
- a log into the game, and queue loading will be dealt with severely.
-
- 6. Do not use robots on the game
- One of the most enjoyable aspects of Realms is the interaction
- between players. Robots upset the balance of the game, and require the
- scenario to be made more difficult to accomodate them.
-
- PLAYER ETIQUETTE:
- The following actions are not prohibited, but are discouraged
- because they lessen the enjoyment of the game for other players. Players
- caught breaking these rules may punished, and the DMs consider it their
- right to do what they wish to those that do these things.
-
- 1. Do not stun or attack someone who is in already in combat.
- This is a truly evil chaotic thing to do.
-
- 2. Do not get all.
- You should not get more than you deserve, especially since other
- players have usually worked hard to get whatever it is you are grabbing.
-
- 3. Do not summon players unknowingly to aggressive monsters.
- The best lesson here is to 'set nosummon', and if you are going
- to be summoned, be sure that it is by someone you can trust.
-
- 4. Do not use excessive foul language
- It is good to remember that the other players on the game are
- actually real people, and that the use of excessive racist, sexist, or
- foul language may offend some people. If you are unable to control
- yourself, refrain from using such remarks when you broadcast.
-
- DM AND CARETAKER POLICIES:
-
- In general, DMs and caretakers are on the game for the purpose of
- construction & debugging. We feel that the best policy is one of
- non-involvement in the play of the game. If you have a _real_ problem, we
- can help you solve it, but we are not here to assist with your play of
- the game. If you have questions, please read all the available files
- before contacting a caretaker.
- If you die as a result of the illegal actions of another player,
- you will _not_ be reimbursed for the loss. However, it is in your best
- interest to report the crime so that we can assess the required
- punishment.
- Finally, if you are not satisfied with the decision of a caretaker
- you may appeal to a DM via mail, however it is very rare that the decision
- of a caretaker is reversed and the decision of a DM is final.
