Update Rules Page

[paulie 181]

people gotta dig through the forums to find specific rules and it makes it confusing for new comers. also people are getting banned because they were unaware of some rules.

[argonian 14254]

Yup. People have been suggesting this for so long, there are tons of unwritten rules.

i.e. do not eat 30 minutes before swimming.

I think I already made like 5 threads like this, doesn't the rules still say you need a VA to do villain things and an MA to do magic?

Oh that has been removed, but!

Both of you must agree to the type of fighting you're using - PVP or RP fighting. If you can't agree, PVP is default. Before commencing a PVP fight, you must roleplay the leading up to it, and you must also make the other player aware before you attack - e.g. an emote. If there is a mage involved in the combat, then you should RP fight.

Damn mages still have RP default.

Also, no rules about not allowing you to escape to a no PVP area... seems Atoa was banned for a rule that doesn't exist.

Oh nor do all the villain rules no longer affect anyone!

And what about breaking doors down?

Hey look, you can play as any race they want if they follow lore, since no mention of Lore rules are made in the rule section.

I guess I'll try again to write the whole rules so that an admin can see how easy it is...

I'll try to find my last thread about this.

Well, good to know that you can't escape to the Cloud Temple in combat even though it's an area where you can't hurt players RP'ly or with MC mechanics. Still have no idea how this was 'abuse of the Cloud Temple' but if that's somehow true then people need to get word and someone needs to make a long detailed thread about all the 'rules' of LoTC that no one knows about until they're actually 'broke'. Almost like LoTC players are making up their own rules now a days and some GM's decide that it makes sense, so they hand out a ban without really looking into it...

Been asking for this to get fixed for a while, i'll drop it in the chat again and hopefully it will get fixed shortly.

 

Although at the end of the day it's pretty common sense what is and isn't bannable. Most bannable actions that are 'unwritten' actually come under the umbrella of either metagaming, powergaming or being a butt. Don't do those three things and you will be fine.

Unwritten rules stem from the rules that follow:

 

 

 

• Metagaming isn't allowed.

 

 

• Powergaming also isn't allowed.

( Running into a place where you cannot be killed because of mechanics is considered power-gaming. )

 

 

• Consistently depriving another player (or players) of their fun for your own personal gain or amusement, even after receiving appropriate warnings, is punishable if deemed necessary by the moderation teams. This may also be considered harassment. Essentially, don't be a troublesome player that only plays to annoy others or be a nuisance.

( Walking into a town with a pre-loaded crossbow and shooting everyone with one-emote reloads is depriving people of their fun. )

For most unwritten rules, just use common sense along with the third rule I have listed.


For those other rules which come from the lack of updates to the rules list… Get the rule list update already!

Or is it just following lore? The Cloud Temple has a no-pvp zone because of the lore around it. Running into the zone is just following lore and logic any character would use ; one that would keep them alive. If staying alive is power-gaming... then... eh.

stop coughing in my face

[paulie 181]

some rules simply need to be written. like  the five second countdown, how are you supposed to infer that from the current rules displayed? also you gotta update them. we still have the old fighting rules..

[Neri 3590]

The rules have been re-written and are much more explanatory and comprehensive than before - they'll be posted shortly. Forum rules, TS rules, war rules and rules on lore are also going to be renovated and reposted over the next day or so.

 

Just don't make a thread tomorrow saying they're too long, for the love of Aeriel.
