In-Game Rules

Post by Kiana »

By playing on Amistr.net's servers, you agree to follow these rulesets.

Special Note: Please remember the staff of Amistr.net hold the right to modify these rules at any time.

Rule #1 - Respect
Disrespect, racial comments, sexual slander, etc. will not be tolerated. Talk to players and staff in-game as you would want others to talk to you. Don't swear publicly or at other people. This applys to all forms of communication, such as Frost Joke/Dazzler, Talkie box, Character names/Guilds/Party names, Chat boxes, Shop names and any other skills in game. Never lie to the Game Masters, if you are caught lying to a GM, you will be punished accordingly. Do not publicly accuse Game Masters of cheating on their legitimate characters. If you believe a GM might have cheated, and have good reason to report them please contact the staff directly using the information on the contact page. Spreading rumors before the issue has been investigated (true or not) will lead to a ban on your part.

Special Note: If harassment occurs in PM's, please first /ex (ignore) the harassing person. If it continues after you have logged in and out, please report them.

Rule #4 - MVP Monsters/Mini Bosses:
MVPs and Mini bosses are Free for All, which means it gives any party, guild or player the right to attack at any time. The ability to grief and/or otherwise affect the MVP or Mini Bosses in ways to harass/annoy or plainly be rude is not allowed which also means priest is not permitted to use Pneuma/Safety wall/Monster Buffs to grief players who are capable of killing the MVP. To make this short: Players are not allowed to grief one another regardless of class when MvP’ing or Killing Mini Bosses.

Special Note: This rule only applys to Naturally spawned Mini Bosses/MVPS, which means you can only KS Naturally spawned MVPS, not MVPS Spawned from Bloody Branches/skills.
In Order for the Mini Bosses/MVP's to become FFA they need to be untouched for generally 15-30 minutes, At that point the MVP becomes FFA.

Special Note: Remember a Game Master(GM) will NEVER ask you for your account information.

Punishment:
  • First Offence: 1 Day Jail Time

Rule #10- Scamming
Scamming is not tolerated. The definition for scamming is for example-Do not offer to overcharge/discount and run away with somebody's money. Do not trick people by selling them a "slotted" item that really isn't. Do not try to get other players to give you their account information. Conduct all trades in-game or on the forum. That way we have logs. If you are making a trade in-game, have a chat about it first. A chat log saying "I'll give you a slotted helm" followed by a trade of an un-slotted helm is helpful evidence for us to reverse the trade. The trade logs alone aren't always sufficient.

Reporting: Screenshot if available.

Punishment:
  • First Offence: 1 Week Jail Time
  • Second Offence: Ban
Rule #11 - Chat Rooms and Vendors
Keep Chat Rooms to the side walks of all the towns and Vendors in the vending area.

  • Second Offence: 1 Day - 1 Week Jail Time
  • Third Offence: Ban

Rule: #12 - NO Multi Clienting In Events and Battlegrounds
Multi Client or Dual Client usage is allowed to be done here on Amistr, with the exceptions of a few instances. You are NOT allowed to multi client/Dual Client in events, or in battlegrounds.

Battlegrounds have been modified in a few ways to make it so multi client/dual client usage is not needed. For example there is a 5 versus 5 battlegrounds and levels requirements have been reduced.

Special Note: You may have multiple clients signed into Amistr at the same time, BUT you may only have one client present in the Battlegrounds or event. This also means you may not have at the same time 1 account in one set of battlegrounds, and 1 client in another set of battlegrounds. Buff Slaves for example may be present in the entrance of the battle grounds but they may not take part in the battlegrounds round as it would become a multi client.

Punishment
  • First offense: Jail- 24hours - 1 week Jail time.
  • Second offense: 1 Day – 1 week Account ban.
  • Third offense: Permanent Ban.


Rule #13- Do Not Act Stupid
It's hard to give this rule much of a description, but don't do anything that, while not being listed above, is obviously something that would not be allowed.

Punishment: For acting stupid varies depending on the level of stupidity.
