 Rules                                                                                                                                         Last Updated: January 25, 2006

 

All new accounts now have to be registered by emailing Crow at crow@crowskingdom.com.

If you haven't read these rules you will not be excused from their punishment if they are broken. These are  here and are required to be read by the players.

Please read the rules completely before requesting an account. I expect that if these rules are posted, then you have read them and if you're caught breaking them then you understand that you will be fined and/or jailed, continuous actions will have your account banned from the shard.

Felucia facet is not as strict on these rules, PKing and PvP is allowed. You will not receive GM help on the Felucia side as it is pretty much open game as far as player vs. player. Except in the cases of any continual harassment, House Looting, abusive language in a sexual, racist or discriminative manner will have your account banned.

RULES: As with almost all shards these rules are common sense rules. I pay to keep this up, I use my time without compensation, other than the enjoyment playing. You will not be allowed to make this a miserable place for other players and myself. I have the absolute right to kick you off where you stand if caught breaking these rules.

1. Role Playing is encouraged but not necessary, this just makes the game fun and interactive for everyone.

2. No Spamming. You may macro if you use a macro program such as EZmacro, no not "key" macro by holding down a "hot" key.

3. NO PKing, PvP, Stealing, Snooping or Looting on the Trammel, Ilshenar and Malas facets.

4. Only 2 Accounts =Total of 5 characters - Caught with more than two accounts for one person you will be banned.

5. Page staff only for "true" emergencies.

6. If you have a complaint send an Email. I do this for free and for the enjoyment of the game, make it otherwise for us and be banned.

7. Staff will not adjust stats, skills or give freebies.

8. Find a bug, let me know. Don't exploit it. Get caught, get punished or banned.

9. Keep possessions minimal, if it’s something you will use later, keep it. If other, then sell, give away, let decay or put in trash barrel. This will keep the shards running at optimum speed for everyone.

10. NO swearing/cursing as children also play on the shard and there is not any need in it to begin with. Be wise in your return comments to others.

Specifics of the Rules

1)PLAYER KILLING-PKing, PvP, and Criminal Skills and Actions

PKing, Looting, Snooping, or Stealing are NOT allowed in the Trammel, Ilshenar, Malas and Tokuno facets. Killing Players and Blue NPC Humans will cause you to be flagged a murderer on first offence for 24 hours playing time, even if it is an accident, this will be investigated as to one or both parties being punished. PvP will not be allowed under any circumstances as you will be flagged a murderer and/or a criminal.

PKing on Felucia only, no entrapment, if someone goes there to look around or are in a dungeon or such, they are open game, but no false pretences to leading or saying "let's go to a dungeon, town, etc..." and then kill them.

Guild and Faction Wars can be fought anywhere! Guild Wars are to be fought in equal standings, no 3 on 1, etc... in an Honorable fashion.

You will not purposely hunt down and kill a person just because you don't like them or have a grudge against them on Any facet. A player will NOT PK, cast aggressive spells or command aggressive pets in facet of Trammel, Ilshenar or Malas. This also applies to "testing" something... If your in doubt page me or email me, if your doubting something, it generally is wrong.

No harassing of Players and/or Blue NPC Vendors, you will be punished or banned.

Criminal Skills such as Stealing, Snooping, Lock picking, etc…. are set as criminal actions and also very hard to develop, along with being frowned upon as these skills are mainly to gain from another player in an unfair advantage and will be looked at as harassment, as well as dropping notoriety very quickly.

Anyone caught being in another Player’s “home” that was not invited, for intentions of stealing, harassing or taking advantage of a Player will be banned. This may not be true to life in this situation, but this is a game, so you must think in the other person's shoes, if it was your hours of work that are stolen or destroyed. A Person's/Player's home is their castle on my shard.

2) GM - PLAYER INTERACTION

Players will NOT ask for Items/Favors from staff. The only time Items will be given are through quests, adventures or in the purchase of “some” decorative items.

Constant harassment about items/stats, or Lying to gain an unfair advantage, the Player will be permanently banned.

I will not interfere in player squabbles, unless there is definite harassment such as racial slurs, sexist remarks, swearing or cursing, etc…. use your heads and work it out peacefully.

I will not sell, buy, dye, place, etc….. anything for players if it obtainable and/or able to be done by a Player.

I will not teleport anyone else unless stuck due to bug or error.

If you would like to talk to me, please email me and we can make a time to meet in game or tell me in the email. This is the preferred method. Pages will not be answered asking I WANT/NEED TO TALK TO YOU.

If I am talking to a player, Another player WILL NOT attempt to Steal, PK, Snoop or Annoy the player or myself.

3) BUGS, PROBLEMS, EXPLOITATION

The shard makes no claim to be bug free and is constantly beta testing. Bug exploitation: doing or causing an event that gives you an unfair advantage over other players, as in Stat/Skills Boost that are permanent, Insta Kills, Gold duping, and anything else I deem fit to call a bug.

Good rule is if it sounds too good to be true it probably is. REPORT IT!

If you die because you crashed, locked up, etc.... This is something that is impossible to prove. There is 30 second client linger, this is to keep Players from taking advantage of an area that they know they may not survive by “losing connection” so an advantage may be taken.

I am not responsible for server, client lag and or crashes, and will not reimburse for these occurrences, this includes time warps. Time warps are very rare as the shard runs 24/7 and World Saves are every half hour with rare shutdowns.

Please Email me if you if have an account and are not going to be playing for a while and wish to keep your account active. After 30 days I will delete inactive accounts and possessions to keep the shard running at optimum speed for the other players.
