Please obey the rules so we can keep the game fun and playable for everyone. Thank you.
1. Game Relations:
* There is absolutely NO BOTTING, hacking or any use of a 3rd party program (this includes macros). The only legal exception to this rule is the use of Dyefire and legal AI homounculus scripts, such as MirAi.
* You may only use the current official AnthemRO client to play on our servers. Use of other clients or older and not supported clients will lead to your accounts being banned.
* Do not spam annoying skills (e.g. Ice Wall) in town that lag the game (Events are an exception).
* Exploiting bugs that result in the gain of large quantities of zeny or items, or disrupting the server will result in a ban. Reporting a bug of this nature will result in a reward.
* Do not pretend to be a Game Master. Do not name yourself similar to a GM, past or present.
* Do not attempt to sell items, zeny, or accounts for out of game items or currency. This includes all types of items, both electronic and physical. If you buy items, zeny, or accounts with out of game items or currency, we reserve the right to confiscate the purchased items without compensation or warning. (If someone offers to sell you something for out of game items or currency, and you can prove to Talis's satisfaction that the seller intended to sell it to you, then he will seize the property and sell it to you for 20% less!)
* Do not trade items, zeny or accounts for items, zeny or accounts on another server. If you get scammed due to a Inter-Server trade, we will NOT help you. If you advertise or promote trade between servers you will be punished.
2. Player Relations:
* Respect all players. No harassment or discrimination is allowed. (Exception: PVP is not moderated unless it is serious and spills over into other situations.)
* Do not attack or loot other players' monsters without their permission. This includes the use of the "Greed" skill.
o A monster "belongs" to another player if it is attacking, being attacked by, trapped by, or following that player.
o When casting area attacks, make sure not to hit other players' monsters.
o Monsters that give the MVP sign when killed are exempt from this rule.
o The maps pay_dun00, gl_prison, orcsdun01 and anthell01 are exempt from this rule. (Exception: You may not keep following another player around killing/looting their monsters without their permission.)
o Intentional over-excessive buffing of monsters with intention to MPK (monster player kill) is not allowed on any maps. This also pertains to MVP type monsters.
* Do not frame/bait players into getting them punished. This applies especially (but not limited to) to greed/KS/and harassment cases.
* Do not warp players using Warp Portal without their permission. Exception: You may do this in PVP, but not to an EXP loss map or an unpathable tile.
* Do not use Azoth or Hylozoist Card in any town, any of the KS-allowed maps or on the first level of any dungeon. Violators may have their Azoth/Hylozoist Card confiscated.
* Do not trap others players with skills, such as Ice Wall, unless you are competing for an MVP or miniboss.
* Please be aware that if you /memo unpathable tiles, you are doing so at your own risk. Should the use of your warp come into question, your warps will be wiped.
* Purposefully gathering normal monsters and leading them to another player with the intention of killing them is not allowed, however using Dead Branches and forcing MVPs to spawn minions, anywhere other than KS-allowed maps is allowed. (Note: DBs/BBs are disabled in certain key towns. Where they are not, it is legal.)
* Do not chase someone through different PVP rooms killing them repeatedly without their permission.
* Do not scam people of their items, accounts, zeny or ad credit.
* When vending, do not put false advertisements in the shop title with the intention of deceiving buyers.
3. Alchemist Related:
* Do not kill other alchemists' plants without their permission. (Exception, this rule does NOT apply in KS-allowed maps or plants that have been spawned in a town.)
* Monsters that an alchemist's plants/homunculus are fighting belong to that player.
* Do not allow your Homunculus to attack other players' monsters. Use the "Stand By" (Alt+T) command as necessary.
4. Game Master (GM) Relations:
* GMs will never ask for your items or password outside the support ticket system, in which case a GM may ask you to log off your account, trade you or remove/restore items as necessary.
* GMs will never give away any zeny, items, or tank players. GMs may, however, give out items as a result of an event.
* Respect all GMs.
* Slander and Libel is considered disrespect and will not be tolerated.
* Do not spam messages to GMs.
* Do not ask to be a GM.
* GM personal information is private. Do not divulge any personal information about the GM team (past or present) through any means, ingame or otherwise. This may include real names, IGNs of the GM's player characters, phone numbers, IM screen names, or any other personal information pertaining to any GM or staff member. Reporting players who give out this information will result in pardoning one instance of this particular rule as well as favorable consideration for other past offenses of this rule (you must prove to Talis' satisfaction that the accused party is in fact guilty). Failure to do so may result in a permanent ban of forum, IRC, and/or ingame accounts.
* GMs reserve the right to ban/mute/jail for rule violations without warning.
5. Account Related:
* You are responsible for your account's security at all times. Choose a strong, secure password that you will not forget.
* If you give out your password to anyone, you take FULL responsibility for their actions (including botting/scamming/item loss/character deletion).
* We are not responsible if your items got stolen because someone guessed your password, or because they deceived you.
* Item recovery is at the GMs' discretion. They may or may not charge you an item recovery fee if you have broken any of the item recovery rules.
6. War of Emperium:
* Do not destroy your own Emperium (e.g. using Homunculus, Gravitation Field).
* Do not summon Transcendent Characters in Non-Trans Castles.
* No underhanded tricks (spamming trade requests, party invites, PMs to distract, etc.).
7. Other:
* Do not advertise other RO servers, server websites, or any type of inappropriate websites (ie. adult content, hacks, bots, etc).
* Do not attempt to break yourself out of jail. Do not attempt to break another jailed player out of jail.
* If someone apologizes for breaking a Player Relation rule accept the apology and move on. Do not harass, swear at or threaten them.
* These rules apply to all mediums related to AnthemRO, including but not limited to IRC, Teamspeak, the game, and the forums.
* These rules are subject to change without notice.
