Thaisborn Rules
To ensure a fair and enjoyable game for everyone, the following rules apply to all players on Thaisborn. The lists below describe forbidden behaviour and serve as guidelines for the gamemasters. They cannot cover every conceivable violation, so the gamemasters may also act against any behaviour that clearly contradicts the spirit of these rules. The following actions are considered rule violations:
Names
It is not allowed to use a name:
a) that contains insulting (e.g. "Bastard"), racist (e.g. "Nigger"), extremely right-wing (e.g. "Hitler"), sexist (e.g. "Bitch") or offensive (e.g. "Copkiller") language - based on players reports;
b) that contains parts of sentences (e.g. "Mike returns"), nonsensical combinations of letters (e.g. "Fgfshdsfg") or invalid formattings (e.g. "Thegreatknight").
Houses
The following limits apply to houses:
a) Each account may own a maximum of 3 houses at the same time.
b) From a single account you may bid on only one house auction at a time. A new bid may be placed only after your account's current house auction has ended.
Cheating
It is forbidden to gain an unfair advantage or to disrupt the game, in particular by:
a) Exploiting obvious errors of the game ("bugs"), for instance to duplicate items. If you find an error you must report it to immediately.
b) Intentional abuse of weaknesses in the gameplay, for example arranging objects or players in a way that other players cannot move them.
c) Using tools to automatically perform or repeat certain actions without any interaction by the player ("macros").
d) Manipulating the client program or using additional software to play the game.
e) Trying to steal other players' account data ("hacking").
f) Playing on more than one account at the same time ("multi-clienting").
g) Advertising, offering, or requesting real-money trades/services on the server (including items, characters, accounts, boosts, or any in-game service for real currency).
Gamemasters
The following behaviour towards gamemasters is not allowed:
a) Threatening a gamemaster because of his or her actions or position as a gamemaster.
b) Pretending to be a gamemaster or to have influence on the decisions of a gamemaster.
c) Intentionally giving wrong or misleading information to a gamemaster concerning his or her investigations or making false reports about rule violations.
Player Killing
On worlds which are not PvP-enforced, the following is not allowed:
a) Excessive killing of characters who are not marked with a "skull". Please note that killing marked characters is not a reason for a banishment.
A violation of the Thaisborn Rules may lead to temporary or permanent banishment of characters and accounts. In severe cases removal or modification of character skills, attributes and belongings, as well as the permanent removal of accounts without any compensation may be considered. The sanction is based on the seriousness of the rule violation and the previous record of the player. It is determined by the gamemaster imposing the banishment.
These rules may be changed at any time. All changes will be announced on the official website.
