EUO Rules
THINGS THAT WILL GET YOU BANNED
Hacking will get you banned
If you're busted hacking, you will be banned and that's it. And I'll ban your whole country if you claim simply to be 'debugging' or 'beta testing'.
Duping will get you banned
If you're busted duping, you'll be banned.
If you're busted with 5 mil duped gold, or 900k rat skulls for example, you will have your entire invnetory deleted. It doesn't matter if you found it on the ground. If you find a lot of money just lying around, turn it into to either a GM or a reputable player.
Botting of any kind will get you banned
Play EUO as is, not with external helper programs. Infact, botting almost comes under hacking. It's unnatural, so don't do it.
Stealing items during trades will get you banned
If two people are trading and there is stuff on the ground, don't just walk up and steal it. GM's don't have time to sort out petty thefts, so if you're caught stealing, then you won't be playing EUO again. And you will be caught.
Abusing alts will get you banned
An alt is an alternate character. Having multiple characters is fine, in fact encouraged. Creating parties with your alts and twinking xp to them IS NOT OK and will end up with punishment. Also don't create characters just to get thet starting equipment.
As a rule of thumb, if you think your clever and cheesing the game, you're probably going to get cheesed yourself.
Abusing bugs will get you banned
If you find a bug, report it. If you abuse the bug, and are busted, you'll probably get banned. Eg, there was once a bug where you could buy 100 arrows for 100 gold, and sell them individually back to the same merchant for 30gp, a net gain of 2900 gp per 100 arrows. While this is the games fault, there's no exuse for abusing bugs like this.
You're not going to get banned for accidental self-res or anything lag related however, unless circumstances are exceptional.
Abusing DM's, GM's and/or game creators will get you banned
The last thing we need to hear is any abuse from some unappreciative little retard. Go back to Tibia please.
If you have been jailed and a) ask to be let out, b) log out then log in with an alt, you will be banned
Sit out your jailtime quietly- it's only 3 minutes.
THINGS THAT WILL GET YOU JAILED
Spamming chat, especially global will get you jailed
Spamming=over use & abuse of chat. Abuse of the chat/upkey counts as spamming. Do it and you will become very unpopular very quickly.
Swearing on global will get you jailed
Being annoying in general, especially to the GM's will get you jailed (or banned)
Griefing is jailable
Harrassing someone, eg repeatedly PK'ing them or being an ass is not nice.
Begging other players for items is jailable
Nobody likes begging, especially GM's.
AND FINALLY...
Be nice to each other
Try and be civil. Just remember, what comes around goes around.
