Rules

LAST UPDATED: 27th August 2016

By signing up to the game you agree to follow all of these rules, and any rules that are changed/added at a later date.

The Reborn reserves the right to change/alter/add/remove any aspect of the game they see fit without prior warning and with nothing owed to players who may have spent time/Sol/money on the aspect previously.

This game is open to all ages, however some aspects may not be suitable for the younger audience, such as graphic descriptions of violence or death in location descriptions, quests, etc...

1) Hacking

Do NOT hack or attempt to hack the game server (This includes rewriting the interface with anything but CSS)
Do NOT hack or attempt to hack any player accounts in any way
If you are found to have hacked the game/players accounts, or just attempted to, you can and will be banned indefinitely.
If you believe someone to be attempting to hack the game/player accounts, or if you believe someone Has hacked the game/player accounts, send a Support Ticket to the Cheat/Multi/Exploit section, or email support@thereborn.com immediately, and do not attempt to investigate it yourself

2) Bugs

Report all bugs. Small bugs such as typos, error messages, etc... can be reported on the Evil Spirits section of the forum, larger bugs that might be possible to exploit, or involve security should be sent in a Bug Ticket.
Do not exploit any bugs you find. This can and will lead to removal of resources/Sol/stats and/or suspension/banning, depending on the severity of the case. Additionally, do not withhold information about any bugs you have found.
Do not encourage others to exploit or withhold information about bugs
Items/Sol/exp/levels, etc... lost due to bugs are unfortunate, but will not be compensated to you, as this would open up a can of worms with people claiming to have lost things they haven't in an attempt to get them for free.

3) General Behaviour

This goes for all aspects of the game - Chat, Forum, Messages, etc..
Do not be abusive, threatening, aggressive, etc... towards any other players. The skill Thieving is NOT classified as harassment
If you feel you are being abused/harassed, send a Support Ticket and explain the situation, remember to include any forum posts, messages, chat lines, etc... that are relevant. We will not tolerate harassment and if you are found guilty of it you will be punished.
Do not advertise the game in a way that will make it look bad, ie. Spamming it, or breaking other website's rules about posting links. You can be punished here for doing it on other websites if it is reported.
Scamming people will not be tolerated either. If you arrange to make a trade with the sole intention of ripping them off and not completing the arrangement, you can be punished if it is proven. This is supposed to be a place to come and have fun, and intentionally trying to ruin people's time here by scamming them is not acceptable.

4) Accounts

This game has a 1 Account Per Person rule.
If someone else on the same IP address as you would like to play as well [Someone in the same house/accommodation] send a Ticket to the Multi/Cheat department and let them know the username of the person who is going to sign up, otherwise you may all end up getting banned for multiple accounts.
If there is more than 1 person playing from the same household, you may not both play on the same computer at the same time, also trades will be watched carefully between accounts to check and make sure you are not 1 person using 2 accounts to cheat.
You may Not access another person's account, even with their permission.
You are held responsible for any forum posts, chat lines, actions, etc... your account makes.
Do not make account names or clan Names/Tags with the words such as Mod, Moderator, Admin, or anything else that may lead people to believe you are game staff.
Additionally, do not make any account names, clan Names/Tags that are offensive

5) Forum

English language only in the public forum (clan forums are unmoderated so you may post in whatever language you like there)
No spamming the forum with pointless threads/posts.
Use the correct forum for your topic. Threads can and will be moved if they are in the wrong place, but it's annoying so try not to do it.
Do not post your personal referral links for other games. Only the main site for it.
Do not try to make your thread stand out unfairly by using capitals, symbols, etc...
Try to be descriptive with thread titles so that people know what the topic is about

6) Chat

Note: Clan chat is not moderated, so if you have an issue with anything said there that can't be resolved in-clan, send a Support Ticket
English only in the chat room.
No posting other game links.
No offensive, overly aggressive, threatening, abusive, or otherwise inappropriate behaviour.
Do not spam the chat room - This includes using more than 3 characters at a time: eg. Hello!!! = Okay, Hello!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! = Bad. Spamming also includes excessive use of CAPITALS and flooding the chat room by repeatedly posting every few seconds with no legitimate reason for doing so. (Eg. Having conversations with lots of different people). It can also include using characters over multiple lines which may clutter chat.
Do not encourage other people to spam the chat room, or break any other rule. This includes things such as. "Press 111 if...."
Do not produce links to any pornographic or otherwise, offensive material/sites.
Forum threads, trade adverts, etc... must be at least 15 minutes apart. If they are seperate ads and can't fit onto 1 line, then you can do a maximum of 2 ads together every 15 minutes.
Chat ranks / logins must not contain any form of profanity and abusive language towards the game, staff and/or player(s). Should the staff find it inappropriate, a warning will be given to change it. Failure to comply will lead to being punished.

7) Punishments

Staff will not discuss another player's punishment with anyone else.
If you feel your punishment is unfair, send a Support Ticket to the relevant sections and explain why.
Repeat offenders will be subjected to tougher punishments
Don't waste staff's time by asking to be muted/forum banned/gaoled etc...
