Global Rules

[Urasept 1361]

-Global Rules-

 

These rules apply to all mediums of Lord of the Craft (server, forums, TS) Everyone is expected to follow them, wandering souls included! Breaking or loop-holing through any of these will result in appropriate punishment as deemed by the moderating or administrative staff. Reading these rules is mandatory, and it will save you some confusion in the future, we also do not accept ignorance to theses rules as an excuse. They are subject to change and modification, so check back often.

 

-=-

 

Do not change your username to anything which could be offensive, vulgar, or inflammatory, on any LotC medium. Breaking this rule will result in a ban of 30 days (the amount of time it takes to change your name via Mojang). Impersonating a player/staff member will result in a more severe punishment.

 

-=-

Cyber bullying is strictly prohibited, and will not be condoned in any shape or form. If you promote, or take part in cyber bullying amongst the community, you will be punished just as severely.

-=-

 

You may not share any LotC accounts with other players. Actions committed by others on your account (including people living with you at home) are your responsibility. If your account is hacked, however, you may appeal to a Moderator or Administrator with proof of said incident.

 

-=-

 

Destructive hacks such as kill aura, auto-mining, and free-cam, among other plugins granting an unfair advantage are not permitted. Approved add-ons will be listed [here].

 

-=-

 

Pm’ing a GM over an issue will, most often, not be responded to. Common courtesy is to make a modreq and wait for it to be handled. Modreqs are a waiting list, and Pm’ing a GM only makes it harder for the GM to get through said list.

 

-=-

 

If a mod gives you an answer you do not like, you can not continue pushing the subject, or go to another GM in hopes of getting another answer in your favor. This is called modshopping, and will be met with a warning and ban if continued.

 

-=-

 

Arguing with a GM when an answer is given, is not only rude, but wastes modreq response time. If a GM says no, it means no. Continuing to argue will result in a kick or temp ban at the GM’s discretion.

 

-=-

 

There are absolutely no GM refunds for items. If you die anywhere on the map, you will not get items refunded.

 

-=-

 

Anything that can be done in game, either by a VIP or through professions will not be done by a GM. This does not include event items. (i.e- renaming items, gate signs, locking chests, soulstone pillars, enchanting, etc.)

 

-=-

 

LotC does not condone account selling or trading with the intent of trading personas, skills, items, whitelisting, or the like.  If an account is sold, it's personas will be wiped.

 

-=-

 

It is the responsibility of the player to maintain understanding of the existing rules as the Staff Teams update them.

 

-=-

 

Even if you do not technically break any listed rules, either from walking the fine line between breaking the rules and not or from consistently jumping through loopholes, it is a moderator’s right to warn or ban you if they deem it necessary.

 

-=-

 

The act of using alternate personas with the same name simply for the advantage of either, racial buff or professions, is not allowed. Meaning that if it is found that there are multiple personas that you own that all share the same name, traits or role played as the same character as the original, they will be deleted regardless of inventory or professions experience.

 

-=-

 

When a ban comes to implicate 10 or more people and a Global Moderator is present, they are obliged to give a broadcasted warning to the group about the current breach of rules. Should any members of said group continue to go ahead with such actions then they will be punished as to the GM's discretion at the time. If such an occasion occurs that no global moderator is present to observe a scenario unfold/give a warning then with sufficient screenshoted evidence the selected leaders of the group will be only ones punished and for double the usual period, i.e.: Fast travel, two weeks instead of one. It should also be noted breach of rules such as pugsy and no-RP may result in the banning of all members of the group who participated within such actions without warning.

 

-=-

 

Come the resignation of a nation leader, resources may only be taken of a maximum of 10% with proper role-play overwatched by a GM at its time of occurrence. If the nation leader comes to be PK'd through various means, then no resources may be taken.
