Play here, play fair

Rules

Short version: do not cheat, do not be cruel, and look after your own account. The rest is detail.

Fair play

What keeps the server worth playing on.

The use of hacks, packet editing, cheat engines, or any third-party automation software is strictly prohibited.
Exploiting bugs, glitches, or unintended game mechanics is not allowed. All discovered issues must be reported to the staff immediately.
Modified clients or altered game files are forbidden.
Abuse of event mechanics, spawn systems, siege bugs, or PvP exploits will result in immediate penalties.

How we treat each other, in game and on Discord.

Respect all players and staff members. Harassment, threats, hate speech, racism, discrimination, or toxic behavior will not be tolerated.
Scamming, impersonation of staff, or misleading other players is strictly prohibited.
Excessive spamming in-game or on Discord is not allowed.
Advertising other servers, services, or external commercial projects is not allowed.
Guild leaders are responsible for their members behavior during wars and castle sieges.

The one part of the server only you control.

Account sharing, trading, or selling is not permitted.
You are responsible for the security of your own account. The staff will not recover lost items, characters, or currency due to sharing, negligence, or scams.
Each player may only use accounts in accordance with server limits (if applicable).
Selling or purchasing in-game items, currency, or accounts for real-world money outside the official donation system is strictly forbidden.

What a donation is, and what it is not.

Donations are voluntary contributions to support server maintenance and development.
All donations are final and non-refundable.
Donation Coins and virtual items have no real-world monetary value.
Breaking server rules may result in loss of donation rewards without compensation.

Who decides, and how that works.

Staff decisions are final.
Arguing aggressively, threatening staff, or attempting to manipulate rulings may result in suspension.
The administration reserves the right to modify rules at any time without prior notice.

Not sure whether something is allowed? Ask a GM before you do it — that question has never cost anyone a ban.
