Laws for Mortal Behaviour
The following laws are not open for discussion or debate.
Law 1: Your presence here is a privilege not a right. Obey any orders from gods, and you will be fine. Deletion does not require a reason. Appeals are to be sent to Implementor.
Law 2: Cheating will not be tolerated. If you find a bug, report it, then do not use it. No Multiple logins, Multiple playing, or helping your own characters with other characters you own -- by any arrangment. -BOTH- characters may be deleted. Do not log in more than one of your characters at once for any reason at all. This includes powerleveling another player. Excessive assistance rendered to another player of any sort, including following them around and healing them, weakening mobs in any way, or anything of the sort without being grouped is considered powerleveling. Giving the occasional spell up to someone is fine, but following them around without being grouped is not.
Law 3: Sitting around idle with a client is hazardous to your health. If we catch you doing it, at a minimum you will lose half your playing time, at the most you will be deleted. Using triggers/timers to keep yourself logged in is therefore also illegal.
Law 4: Changes to these rules are at the discretion of the immortals. Make sure to keep updated. These written rules may change on occasion.
Law 5: Don't wake players while they sleep. Don't cast unwanted spells on them. Don't give them unwanted items. Don't poison their items. Don't cast plague on them. Don't harrass their charmed mobs. Generally don't be annoying to them. Please do not spam people at Recall, Altars or Healers.
Law 6: Immortals are here to help create a fun and exciting time for you. They do this on their own time, not when YOU want them to. DON'T keep pestering Imms to run a quest, you may just find yourself sitting in the Realm Of The Dead for a while. DON'T ask Imms to help you find Mobs, Equipment, Quest items or Other Players. Don't ask Imms for special favors, spell-ups or how to get to a certain area. Do ask Immortals for guidance on the game rules or how to use game features.
Law 7: Whining to Immortals about changes to the mud in any way is grounds for punishment or even worse, deletion. The Immortals spend a great deal of time programming, maintaining and running this mud for your pleasure.
Law 8: For your security and our's we monitor internet addresses closely so that we may prevent unwanted people from getting into your account causing trouble for you and us. We like you to feel comfortable here but we frown upon giving or loaning characters, as it upsets game balance and is unfair to others. This is one of the more serious offences and is punishable by deletion of your character and any others you may have. If you THINK someone has your password, please see the HELP PASSWORD file to change your password, then notify an immortal right away, this will prevent you from getting into trouble.
Law 9: Using sexual, racial or religious epithets on any public channel, other than SPEW, will not be tolerated. You will be slain on the spot for indulging in such dishonorable actions. The SPEW channel has been set up for your crude and dishonorable actions. Use this channel for general cussing and whining. Spamming on ANY channel is not allowed, you WILL get your channel privileges taken away.
Law 10: No kill stealing. This means you cannot attack a mob someone else is fighting, unless they ask you to. Also avoid attacking fleeing mobs.
Law 11: Using abusive language on this mud at ANY time in ANY place will not be tolerated PERIOD! You may not directly abuse someone by calling them "F**king Asshole" or anything that would offend someone else. You may use NON-Directed cussing ONLY on the SPEW channel.
