Crimes & punishments
Following is a listing of violations of game law, and the resulting punishments. Some offences may result in temporary suspension of posting
privileges, jail terms, or account deletions. Game staff reserves the
right to interpret these laws in certain situations to maintain the spirit of said laws.
Hacking - Do not deliberately access another person's account without their
prior consent. This also includes giving any links, or sites that cause people to do
things within their account.
Logging in to, or using another person's account without express permission will result in
deletion of any/all of the offender's accounts. To clarify the account sharing issue - you
cannot share an account with another person. You may not babysit an account, the account has a 60 day period of vacation mode every year, that's more than enough. But if more is needed, you must contact a manager or an deputy manager to get more vacation mode time.
Punishment: Deletion
Bug Abuse - If you find a bug/
or glitch that can be profited from, don't let us find out you took advantage ;)
Depending on severity, game bug abuse will result in anywhere from a 30 day jail
term to account deletion. Bugs, loopholes, security flaws, or any inconsistencies in the
game should be immediately reported in the appropriate thread on the message boards or if
the subject in question is too sensitive for message boards. You should contact one of the
Game Developers (usually Managers) with an Imail description.
Punishment: 30 Days / Deletion
Ripping/Bad Trades/Clan Staff Selling
- Taking money from another player and then not providing what you offered is illegal.
Clan Staff selling can not and will not be enforced though, Game staff recommend against
this kind of action. You have been warned.
Punishment: 15 Days
MB Ignorance, Chat Ignorance -
Do not break the rules of any Message Board. Do Not break the rules of the chat Room(s).
Punishment: According to the Individual rules.
Impersonation - Do not change
names to say anything to do with staff or Imail players telling them you're staff - doing
so is complete n00bness.
Punishment: 15 Days Jail
Admin
Begging - Do not ask Admin or Managers for currency or items, feel free to
ask for help though. This includes asking for Game Secrets, anyone imailing staff after
game secrets will be jailed.
Multi - Do not make more than one account. If you did that before you
read this, mail an Admin request to delete your other accounts.
One Account per user, And only 5 accounts per IP Address/Computer Terminal. This is more
then enough for a large family. All of the accounts must not trade, at all times. If a
more then one member uses your computer, you must make sure yourself that you do not seem
like a multi. Having your brother sending you his gold everyday is really separate
accounts. Persons found to have multiple accounts will have those accounts removed from
the game, any assets/stats earned from or as a result of these accounts removed, and their
main account jailed for 30 days.
Punishment: 30 Days + Deletion
Slutting - Do not 'slut', that
is, battling other players in a business fashion. No Suiciding,
Reviving, Etc.
Punishment: 15 Days
Game Secret Plotting - Do not
Talk about Game Secrets, sharing secrets is Extremely Illegal and will not go unpunished.
Punishment: 20 Days
External Trading - Do not trade
currency, items, or characters in this game for something out-of-game. You may not give
your character to anybody. Doing so defeats the purpose of the game. If you are caught
doing so, your punishment is up to Admins.
Punishment: 40+ Days
Flooding - Intentionally spamming or flooding of message boards, chat
rooms, or other communication venues will result in a 5 day jail term.
Punishment: 5+ Days
Player Harassment - Game staff determine when a communication crosses
the line into abusive. This is not to say everyone must play nice, this is a combat
competitive game after all. The harassment law only applies to continued and
targeted harassment of a particular person, not the sporadic insult. The following
language assumes a staff member has deemed the interaction as continued harassment. Public
harassment of fellow players will result in a 10 day jail term. In general, private
communications are just that, private, and not subject to decency or harassment laws.
Players are encouraged to use the provided privacy tools to stop harassment. With that
said, persons who attempt to undermine the privacy tools will also get their 10 days
in jail.
Punishment: 10 Days in Jail
Staff Harassment / Slander - Any complaints against staff will be
offered in a clear, courteous manner, free of profanity and overflowing in wit and charm.
Slanderous/personal attacks/profane communications against staff members will not be
tolerated, and will result in the offending remarks removed, and a 10 day jail
sentence for the disseminator.
Punishment: 10 Days in Jail
Staff obligations to players
Staff are obligated to respond to, and, if possible, assist any requests made. Official
conduit between players and staff by Imail is fine, Players can expect a reply to their
queries within 2 working days. (Please note requests should not be made to upper game
management directly, you're not going to get "better help" by going around the
Vice Managers or Admin.)
Responsibility
The account owner is responsible for their account(s) at all times. This means if your
friends/family/pet dragon logged into your account and cause trouble, you will be held
responsible. Keep your username and password secure, as you would for any other site or
the pin number for your house or cash card.
Player-Staff interaction
Both players and staff are expected to coexist in a polite and respectful environment.
This applies to professional interaction only, as there are instances when the
staff member is acting in the capacity of a player, and not an administrator. This is not
to say a staff member may become abusive and claim they were acting in a player capacity,
but it does mean a staff member need not be stoic at all times. They're volunteers, and
need to relax/get into arguments too. This should never be the case in professional
settings (i.e. Customer Service requests).
Repeat offenders
Harsher punishments/deletions may occur for repeat offenders.
Loss of items due to unauthorized access/"hacking"
Lost items will only be returned to clans, provided the items can be tracked.
