1. Names a) Names which contain insulting (e.g. "Bastard"), racist (e.g. "Nigger"), extremely right-wing (e.g. "Hitler"), sexist (e.g. "Bitch") or offensive (e.g. "Copkiller") language. b) Names containing parts of sentences (e.g. "Mike returns"), nonsensical combinations of letters (e.g. "Fgfshdsfg") or invalid formattings (e.g. "Thegreatknight"). c) Names that obviously do not describe a person (e.g. "Christmastree", "Matrix"), names of real life celebrities (e.g. "Britney Spears"), names that refer to real countries (e.g. "Swedish Druid"), names which were created to fake other players' identities (e.g. "Arieswer" instead of "Arieswar") or official positions (e.g. "System Admin"). 2. Cheating a) Exploiting obvious errors of the game ("bugs"), for instance to duplicate items. If you find an error you must report it to the administration immediately. b) Intentional abuse of weaknesses in the gameplay, for example arranging objects or players in a way that other players cannot move them. c) Using tools to automatically perform or repeat certain actions without any interaction by the player ("macros"). d) Manipulating the client program or using additional software to play the game. e) Trying to steal other players' account data ("hacking"). f) Playing on more than one account at the same time ("multi-clienting"). g) Offering account data to other players or accepting other players' account data ("account-trading/sharing"). 3.

Player Killing a) Excessive killing of characters who are not marked with a "skull" on worlds which are not PvP-enforced. Please note that killing marked characters is not a reason for a banishment. A violation of the server rules may lead to temporary banishment of characters and accounts. In severe cases, removal or modification of character skills, attributes and belongings, as well as the permanent removal of accounts without any compensation may be considered. The sanction is based on the seriousness of the rule violation and the previous record of the player. It is determined by the gamemaster imposing the banishment. 5. Server Data, Backups and Availability a) The server performs periodic backups of its data in order to reduce the risk of data loss and allow the server to be restored in the event of technical failures. b) Despite performing regular backups, it is not possible to guarantee that all data will be permanently preserved or that failures, file corruption, technical issues, attacks, hardware or software failures, or other unforeseen events will not result in partial or total loss of server data. c) The server also does not guarantee permanent or uninterrupted availability. The service may become temporarily unavailable due to maintenance, updates, technical problems, infrastructure failures, attacks, hosting issues, internet connectivity problems, hardware or software failures, or other circumstances beyond the administration's control. d) In exceptional circumstances resulting in permanent data loss or the permanent inability to continue operating the server, characters, items, points, virtual currency, benefits, donations, purchases, and any other content existing on the server may be permanently lost. e) In the event of the permanent discontinuation of the server or permanent loss of data, the administration shall not be responsible for refunds or reimbursement of amounts related to purchases, donations, points, items, benefits, or any other virtual content previously acquired, particularly when such loss results from technical failures, attacks, infrastructure problems, force majeure, or other circumstances beyond the administration's control. f) By using the server and making any purchase of virtual content, the player acknowledges the risks associated with the nature of a private server and agrees that virtual content, characters, items, points, and other benefits may be lost under exceptional circumstances. g) Whenever technically possible, the administration may use available backups to restore the server's data. However, the existence of backups does not constitute a guarantee of the complete recovery of all data or all previously acquired content. h) The administration may perform changes, maintenance, restarts, updates, or modifications to the server whenever necessary for its operation, security, or maintenance. These rules may be changed at any time. All changes will be announced on the official website.
