All staff members will follow the system exemplified below when referring to in-game rule breaking...
Level 6: Permanent global ban Level 5: Permanent account ban Level 4: Account ban for x duration Level 3: Character ban for x duration Level 2: Mute or kicked from the server Level 1: Verbal warning
Below, Administration have listed the actions that are considered illegal within our game. This list is not all inclusive, and GM's are able to punish people for doing things that are not on this list, and for punishments outside of the levelling system. The level of the ban that would normally apply is listed in brackets to the right of the offence.
*Note: Intentionally breaking a rule, which means the GM believes you were aware that you were breaking a rule or were aware that what you were doing was against our rules, will be coupled with a more severe punishment.
