Rules & Guidelines

[Kari 308]

 

These rules are subject to change at anytime without warning. It is your responsibility as a player to keep yourself
up to date with the rules at all times. Ely RSPS rules are non exhaustive. Staff members reserve the right to punish
players for rule breaking as they see fit. If you feel as your punishment is not deserved/fitting, please fill out an Appeal

General, Forums and In-game rules

 

1. No inappropriate content, language or behavior, such as but not limited to:
(Spam, Flame, Harassment, Racial slurs).

Be respectful towards other players, do not go out of your way to harass or flame another player.
While we do allow banter, arguments & such (this is a part of life) we do not allow constant harassment,
name calling, flaming or spamming others without end therefore disrupting their game play & experience.

 

Active debates between players are allowed, however if it escalates in a way it affects other players ability to speak
& use the Help Chat to talk, ask questions, or play the game it is expected to move that escalated conversation
to private messaging. Failure to do so upon request by a Staff Member could potentially result in a temporary mute.

2. Advertising

While we do allow general discussion among players to speak what they will; may it be about another server even,
we do not allow explicit advertising & motivating or informing other players to seek out & play other servers.
We do not allow advertising in our Discord, Forums or In-Game. Any links, invites, or mentions to join other RSPS-related
private servers is strictly prohibited.

3. Account / Staff Impersonation.

There shall be no attempts at impersonating any Staff Members in any circumstance. This rule also applies to
impersonating another player or players. This is to reduce confusion and limiting potential scams.

4. Punishment Evasion.

If a punishment has been applied to your account or accounts you are fully expected & required to serve out
the time period & punishment given in its entirety. Any attempts made at trying to avoid this punishment is strictly
prohibited and could result in an increase of time or severity.

5. Third Party Software / Botting / AHK

We hold a strict no third-party software policy. We believe that the best way to enjoy the game we offer,
is to play it yourself. This also includes any type of, but not limited to: botting, macro, mouse key use; no animated
game-play of Ely is permitted whatsoever. Staff Members reserve the right to punish anyone for as much as
suspicion of use of any third party software, botting & botting attempts, AHK, or others.

6. Threats to the community and player base

Any attempts or threats made towards a player or the community as a whole is taken seriously.
We do not permit any type of threats made or attempts at harming or damaging the community or a player.

7. Bug Abuse / Safe-spotting bosses

During your time playing it is possible you may experience a bug or a glitch that is not meant to exist.
We take all bug reports seriously and fix them rapidly. If a bug has been discovered that gives a player any advantage
over the normal & correct game play in any area it is fully expected that you report that bug as soon as possible.
Failure to do so & any attempts found at trying to profit from wrongfully trying to gain an advantage over other players
could classify as bug abuse & will be punished accordingly.

 

We do not allow any safe spotting of any boss to occur at anytime with one exception; if the safe spot
exists in the original version of the game it is permissible.

8. PVP (Player VS Player)

PVP is encouraged - every player enters the Wilderness at their own risk. However we do not allow nor permit
any attempts of or successful attempts at luring another player in the Wilderness to be killed & looted.
Staff is not to be killed in the wild if they're attending a bug or otherwise game-related issue.

9. Account Sharing / Giving away an account

Account sharing and giving away an account is allowed.
However any agreements made between players must be documented properly (screenshots, recordings, etc).

Sharing an account is at your own risk & once shared, Ely removes it's liability and risk and applies it to
the player sharing their account (ex. - you share your account, your bank gets stolen; there will be no recovery).
This does not mean the person stealing the items will not be punished, see Rule #12.

Our staff will not assist or help in any case whatsoever that results in a hacking / scamming or other.

10. Multi-logging Accounts

Multi-logging is permissible & allowed in nearly all areas of the game except; multi-logging is never allowed at any
Bosses, Raids, Player and/or Staff-hosted events or the Wilderness.

11. Real World Trading

We do not allow any type of real world trading for items, gold or accounts between players.
You can not trade anything Ely related for something non Ely related.

12. Scamming

At no time is scamming of another player, or taking advantage of another player whether new or active permitted.
Maintaining honest game-play within Ely is a priority and scamming would hinder that mission.

13. Item Lending

Item lending is allowed.
However a proper documentation (screenshots, recordings, etc) of the agreement
must be presented to Staff Members for them to assist in a potential scam.

Failure to be able to provide documentation of the agreement to Staff will result in no recovery efforts.

14. Gambling

When gambling another player and making a bet outside of the betting interface, you gamble at your own risk.
We will not get involved, refund or assist players that incur losses due to getting scammed
from not using the betting interface.
