Server Rules

[GM-Aki]

Starting Sunday November 7th, money transactions involving items or accounts will no longer be tolerated be it on the forum or the server. Threads made before and on November 7th will not result in any punishment for thread starter and any participant, but they will be removed by Sunday November 7th at 9PM (server time).

As a reminder the following rule:

Regarding shared accounts
Account sharing is not our responsibility and is not encouraged by the GM team. The GM team will not consider movement of items due to account sharing as an act of stealing. The selling/trading of an entire account counts as a form of sharing account. The selling/trading of an account or item counts as a form of sharing account, therefore not supported by GM's.
Real money transactions involving items or accounts between players will not be tolerated be it on the forum or the server.
Deals involving zeny and/or item in exchange for GM service are allowed

* Rewording of the rule to take into account the new
* This was decided by the GM team and is non negotiable.

Hey players,

Just a heavy reminder that everyone is expected to abide by the rules at all times.

Breaking the rules in order to try and get proof of misbehaving on another player is not acceptable.

This includes, but is not limited to:
Attempting to "botcheck" a player by healing their mobs, KSing them, or interfering with them in any way that breaks the server rules.

If you suspect that someone is in violation of the rules; put in a support ticket and a GM will look into it.

Just a slight change.

The time frame in the below rule has been changed from its previous two months to its new three months.

• Regarding stolen items not from a shared account
  If you lent an item and failed to get it back, this is considered stealing, it will be returned back to the owner if they make a support ticket providing unmodified screenshots of both the trade and the agreement to lend. Preferrably, the items and the agreement are in the same screenshot. The report sent needs to be as clear as possible with a precise time frame. Reports about trades older than 3 months will not be considered.
  Item retrieval does NOT apply if the other person is banned - any items regardless of origin are always permanently locked with the banned account (unless the account is banned precisely because of stealing in the first place.)

Removed MVP Domination Rule and replaced with

MVP Rule
MVP's are free for all to attack.

Specified MVP's as monsters that cannot be mob dropped.

Removed the option to see if people were on certain maps via the Control Panel in accordance to the MVP changes.

Bump to the rules, as everyone should always make sure they are aware of them to play on heRO.

Special reminder about the Do Not Cheat rule, if you are aware or witness any cheating or abuse please report it as soon as possible. Do not assume that someone else will.

Please also report any bugs you find. GMs cannot see everything in the game, so reporting bugs help us make the server better for everyone.

Updated. Mostly added some information relating to punishment.

Main change:
The punishment for AFK-misting, when there is no evidence of botting involved, will be the deletion of the Alchemist/Creator (and consequently the homunculus with it). Previously this offense resulted in a permanent ban of the account.

This change is retro-active, people who had an account banned due to afk-misting can send a support ticket to ask for a deletion of the character and unban of the account.

Updated first post. Included DB/BB in the monster spawn limit:

Mushroom/Plant/DB Limit
When using the creator skill to create mushrooms or plants you must not go over 200 total at the same time. 200 mushrooms=ok, 201 mushrooms= not ok, 100 mushrooms+100 plants=ok 101 mushrooms+100 plants= not ok because it makes a total of 201.

Addition: This also applies to Dead Branches and Bloody Branches. No more than 200 total may be spawned on a map.


Also, Included "Intern" and "Intern-", as well as their lowercase versions, in the list of restricted names.

Added it to the Rules on the Wiki as well.

The GM Team has added a new rule. The first post of this thread, as well as the wiki have been updated:

No Blank Emblems During War of Emperium (WoE)
While the War of Emperium is ongoing, it is forbidden to enter a castle if the guild you are in uses no emblem, a transparent emblem or one that is not clearly visible. Note: It is however permitted to be unguilded.

Bump as reminder:

Kill Steal (KS) for Non-MvP Monsters
Do not hit a monsters that "belongs" to another player. Any monster that is attacking/chasing the player, or if the player is also attacking that monster, counts as "belonging" to that player. KS rules do not apply in any public DB room or any GM hosted events unless stated otherwise by the GMs.

Some have been misunderstanding the rules as of late, so we would like to clarify again:

Mini-Muspel non-MVP monsters cannot be KS'd, just like in most other places. The MVPs can be competed for, but not the regular monsters. This has been stated a few times now.

Update and Clarification on the rules regarding Buying Stores:

Previous Rule:

• Vending Shops and Chatrooms
  Do no set vending shops or chat within a 7x7 area (3 cell radius) of any NPC, including warps. Only one vender can occupy one cell. In Prontera, shops and chat boxes can only be set up on the side walks. Vending Shops can only be put up in a town (except for Niflheim) or maps without *any* monsters.

New Rule (Updated content been struck out):

• Vending Shops and Chatrooms
  Do no set vending shops or chats within a 7x7 area (3 cell radius) of any NPC, including warps. Only one vender shop can occupy one cell. In Prontera, shops and chat boxes can only be set up on the side walks. Vending Shops can only be put up in a town (except for Niflheim) or maps without *any* monsters.

Basically, the same rule as before, but with slight updates to clarify that Buying Stores have to follow this rule too.
