Ten commandments of Aranock

Love thy Rulers:

Respecting our staff and their decisions

If a member of staff tells you to stop something, or informs you that you are breaking a rule. You Must follow there instruction. Do not argue with our staff. If you disagree with what a member of staff has said or told you to do, then please follow there instructions and then email the admin team via the contacts page.

Arguing with our staff will get you into even more trouble. So don't. They work for free to help protect and inform the community and for this they deserve your respect.

Respect thy Friends:

What is accepted
Acceptable behavior is now defined as being friendly and helpful. Constructive criticisms, comments, actions and gestures are allowed.

Note: Please be careful what you say when using the public chat feature, what you might think of as a joke or satirical humor, may not be taken so by others.
Be nice, friendly and likeable to your fellow players and the admin team. Do not play this game to annoy and to make trouble.

If your behavior is deemed as being unacceptable, you will be warned and then punished accordingly if you persist.

1.2 What is Not Accepted.
The use of derogative, ethnic, religious or social comments to ANY player or member of staff will not be tolerated. Aranock has a friendly and helpful community to which we intend on keeping. Players who openly insult or offend players and admin will quickly find them selves in trouble.

Please note that abuse towards our staff is a banable offence, you wont be warned

Thou shalt speak nicely to others:

Do not use offensive language in public or private channels such as /shout or /ctells.

Cussing in /tells must stop if other person objects. Vulgar, foul, abusive and rude language will not be accepted within our community, neither will sexual innuendos, regardless of who it is directed at or by what means its delivered by (i.e. #shouts or #tells) you will be punished for it.

Misuse of communication commands

Miss using a command such as (not limited to) "#shout" to impersonate or trick admin or players is forbidden. Fake shouting/fake shouts as its known will earn you a permanent mute.

Thou shalt not cheat:  

Do not use macros!

The use of such programs has a negative effect on both the community and economy of the game, once deteced your character will be permantly banned, so the effort of trying to cheat would have been wasted and you will no longer be able to play the game

Thou shalt not abuse knowledge:

Abusing a bug
It's simple really, Don't!
Don't keep it to yourself, report it to a member of staff or email the admin team, and don't go trying to exploit it. If you're caught abusing a bug you will be stripped of whatever you gained and/or kicked from the game, or something worse, depending on the nature and severity.

 How to report a bug
The sooner you report it the better, if you find a bug and fail to report it until months later you will likely be punished for bug abuse, so its very important that you report it straight away. You can do so by either #tell'ing a member of staff in the game

Note: To tell who's a staff member and who's not, type "/who" or "#who" within the game, this will give you a list of players currently online. Players listed in Green are members of staff, players listed in gold are normal players.

Alternatively you can also email the admin team and report it.

Thou shalt not spam:

This includes but is not limited to fake messaging such as #tells and #shouts. Excessive use of capitals and spell cast spamming is not allowed.

Thou shalt let others learn:

 Quest helping
Leading players through quests is illegal, skill quests are to be soloed or done with help by group range characters only. If you can’t group a player then you can’t go questing together.

Leading
Leading players through quests, outside of the 3 rank group range, is illegal. This includes the pentegram quest, tower quest and all other areas of the game. The only areas this rule does no apply is in; sewers, mines, black stronghold and the labs (1-13). All other areas of the game are exempt from this exclusion and come under the no leading rule. If caught you and all those who are caught with you, could loose a large chunk of their experience.

Quest Items
Quest items are not to be traded, sold, given or blatantly dropped on the floor so that another player can take them.

Riddle answers
The riddle quests/labs are there to give players a small challenge unlike the other challenges in the game, therefore it is illegal to reveal the answers to any and all of the riddle quests/labs.

Thou shalt die like a warrior:

Do not lag out of death, pvp, and guild fights. Lagging out of an area to get spelled up is illegal, as is lagging out of any of the labs.

We can tell when player has lagged out from a connection failure and when they have purposely caused the game to crash to avoid a death in the game.

Lagging out of the game under any circumstances is illegal. There is no reason to risk being punished for it. The excuse "I couldn't be bothered to walk to the tavern" is not acceptable, there are recall scrolls and a recall spell. Use them!
