The following are the rules of Arythia. Please remember
that your freedom ends where the rights of others begin.
Treat others as you would like to be treated yourself.
Your presence on Arythia is a privilege, not a right.
Arythia is a strong community, with a friendly
atmosphere, which we want to preserve. Listen to and
obey staff members if they give orders. Do not lie to
them about what other staff members have said to you.
Deletion does not require a reason, and appeals regarding
deletion should be sent to the implementors.
Arythia is a role-playing world. You are expected to act as
appropriate for your character at all times, except on the ooc channel
and in the ooc lounge over the center of the city. If you wish to
discuss things outside of rp, either do so in tells, in the ooc lounge,
or find a private part of the world where you won't bother rp'ers.
PK, or player killing, is strongly disapproved of, even though
it is technically permitted for clans at this point in time. The
staff would rather not see any pk.
Logging in from more than one account at the same time, logging
in with multiple players from the same account, or helping your own
characters with other characters you own is not permitted by any
arrangement, including drafting others to hold things for you while
you switch characters.
Kill stealing is not permitted. You may not attack a mob someone
else is fighting unless you are invited to do so. Also, avoid
attacking fleeing or wounded mobs, unless you were the one to wound
them in the first place.
Power levelling is not permitted. You may not help others to advance
in level by nearly killing mobs for them and then abandoning the
fight so that the other person gets the experience. Arythia really
isn't about levelling anyway, but about role playing and having fun.
Harassment will not be tolerated. Harassment includes, but is not
limited to, making unwanted advances towards other players, misusing
socials and/or emotes towards them, and badgering them on channels
and/or in tells. In general, harrassment is persisting in unwanted
behavior towards someone else. If people ask you to leave them alone,
please do so.
Use channels properly, keeping ooc discussions on ooc channels and
ic discussions on ic channels. We are here for role-playing, and
constant discussion of levels, getting and finding gear, and discovering
areas should be solved through rp if possible. Constant discussion of
game mechanics without reason is discouraged because it disrupts the
rp atmosphere.
Make sure to quit when you leave instead of disconnecting.
Disconnecting can be hazardous to your existance because it can
sometimes distort player files. Expect a rebuke at the very least
if you constantly chose to disconnect instead of quitting. Most
likely, stronger measures will be taken.
Cheating is not tolerated. Cheating includes accepting favors
and spells from staff as well as exploiting bugs. If you find a bug,
report it and earn your 10 gp reward, then do not use the bug.
Changes to these rules are at the discresion of the staff. These
rules may be changed without notice or warning. However, all these
rules exist only to produce a better playing experience on Arythia.
