Server Rules

[GM-Ayu]

Nov 7 2009:

After almost half a year of many unfortunate confrontations regarding heRO's MVP policy, the GM team has finally polished a new set of rules that should keep a great balance between healthy rivalry on MVP and respect for all players.

The "MVP Domination Rule" and the revised KS rules will replace the current set of KS rules starting from Nov 14. All activities and support ticket sent before Nov 14 server time will be judged using the old rules.

Rule Changes Wrote:Be respectful to everyone
Insulting, the use of swears, discrimination, racism, sexism or any other offending comments may result in punishment. That goes for everywhere, especially on the Main Chat for everyone. Do not purposely kill other players outside of PvP/GvG enabled map via any means. This also includes usage any skill what so ever to defend, buff, heal, kill steal, undo aggro status or steal a??non-MVP monster, unless the person asked for you to do so. Follow the MVP Domination Rule regarding these actions for a MVP.

Kill Steal (KS) for Non-MvP Monsters
Do not hit a monsters that "belongs" to another players. 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.

MVP Domination Rule
All of the MVPs are free to be attacked by any player, included MVPs summoned by Quest. However, the first one/first party present at a MvP will be considered the "dominating party." To be present, this means engaging the MvP so that either the player/party are attacking the MvP, or the MvP is attacking (or clearly chasing) that player/party.

Participation in the attack to the MVP must not interfere in the strategy that the dominating player/party is using and must try to mold to this.

Based on the above, the following will be illegal:
-Your presence in the elimination of the MVP tears down the strategy of the dominating player/party
-Your attacks to the MVP repeatedly cause the use of "Teleport" beyond the frequency of accidental human error
-Your interference causes the death of the others competing for the MVP if you bring alien mobs to the MVP or don?t know how to control the slaves of the MVP
-Your attack causes no effect or real damage to the MVP except to lure it away
-You pretend ignorance regarding a Strategy, MVP's slave control or other MVP related knowledge. You are held responsible that if you decide to MVP, you understand all aspects of the MVP's behavior. Ignorance will not be accepted as a reason to violate MVP Domination rule *EXCEPT* for newly released MVPs, where there will be a 2 week grace period starting from time of release for all players to learn and figure out aspects of new MVPs.

?Strategic MVP Support? may be use to eliminate the MVP, as long as the strategy is justified and does not solely intended to prevent others to come and kill it. This includes using Safety Wall to prevent the MvP's Pneuma (and vice versa), or land protector, but is not limited to only these spells.

Any spells that can boost a MVP's offensive power or restore their Hit Points cannot be used on the MVP by anyone except members of the dominating party.

A dominating party loses its status when the party dies or no longer engages the MVP (that is, no longer attacking the MVP and/or no longer being attacked by the MVP.) The next party at scene becomes the dominating party. Even if the previous party returns, they do not regain their dominating status. Should the MVP be the one who teleports away, then domination status is reset, and whoever engages the MVP first becomes the new dominating party.

These rules do not apply to a MVP's slaves, any MVP in GM events, guild dungeons (where you can directly kill other guilds' parties) or MVPs public DB room unless stated otherwise by a GM.
