Although we would prefer to have a minimum of restrictions on players,
some rules are essential to ensure that time spent playing on Dragon Realms
is enjoyable for all.
1. Bugs. Don't exploit bugs in the code to your advantage.
If something is obviously not behaving the way it should, we expect you
to act in good faith and notify an immortal, rather than taking advantage
of it.
2. Multi-Play. No multi-playing of any kind is permitted.
You may only have one character at a time, period. If you wish to
start another character we will archive your current character and approve
you another one. All of your characters will be deleted if you are found
multi-playing !
3. Player Killing/Stealing. These activities are permissible
within the broad scheme of things, but you can expect to make enemies if
you persistently indulge in such behaviour. We will take action to
curb the excesses of anyone found to be killing or stealing from other
players to the exclusion of all else, and are not likely to treat them
kindly. We particularly don't like to see players being victimised, so
if you kill someone once and they offer you no further provocation, don't
kill them again! Repeatedly killing the same player or sacrificing their
equipment will draw the kind of immortal attention that you may not want.
4. Politeness. Roleplaying in the context of the game
is fine. However, when stepping out of character (for example, when
posting notes that talk about game mechanics) we expect you to be both
constructive and courteous. Childish tantrums or ravings will not win anyone
to your cause.
5. Profanity. Keep it to a minimum. We understand
that there will be times when things go wrong - everyone gets hot under
the collar during such moments. However, bear in mind that other
players may not be of an age suitable for having their ears blistered by
your oaths.
6. Reimbursements. Reimbursement is a privilege, not a
right. The immortals have ultimate discretion on whether the circumstances
of a particular case warrant a reimbursement. Their decision is final.
7. Spam. Repetition of commands to the detriment of other
users is called spam, and it is most impolite. Unnecessary spamming,
particularly on public channels such as chat, will be treated with universal
disapproval. Avoid it wherever possible.
8. Scripting. Running your session using scripts effectively
precludes any form of roleplaying and is therefore prohibited. Macros,
aliases and so on are acceptable when used as part of the overall game,
but automated behaviour designed to increase your level or skill ratings
is not.
9. Respect. The game is run by the IMMortals, who have to pay
to keep the site running, aswell work themselves to death to fix bugs and
put in new code for your enjoyment. Therefore you should speak to the imms
with respect, as they let you play the game for free. You have no right
of demanding anything, as you have been allowed to play in THEIR game.
You could go and help the imms though, there is a Dragon Realms magazine
which you can receive by writing a note to scarabae on board 5, asking
for information. It's not expensive, and it helps them pay for the site.
These rules are very straightforward. We intend that they add
to your playing pleasure here, rather than detracting from it. If
you feel unable to comply with any of the above, please speak to an immortal.
