Server Rules Update


We are updating the rules about mob dropping in light of recent controversy on Warzone and Guild Dungeon maps. Mob dropping is frowned upon in heRO because mobs should not be used to purposely kill another player. By the old ruling, mob dropping is forbidden everywhere in the server. However, this logic breaks down on a map where it is encouraged for players to kill one another. It should not be the GM's place to judge how should a player to kill another player, on a map that has PvP and/or GvG enabled.

Old Rule Wrote:Mob Dropping
Players are not allowed to drop monsters on other players, this includes maps with MVPs.

Updated Rule Wrote:Mob Dropping
Players are not allowed to drop monsters on other players, this includes maps with MVPs. This rule does not apply on any PvP or GvG enabled maps, even if MvPs are present.

Follow up to this rule change, we will use this chance to clarify if "fly winging away from mobs when another player is nearby to count as mobdrop." GM will judge by intent to the best of our possibilities based on evidence submitted. As mentioned in a recent ruling, a few stray mobs that follow players are bound to happen, and you have to fly wing to survive. However, GM may find certain scenarios to have too many monsters to be deliberate, or determine that the situation did not warrant a fly wing escape for the players involve.

E.g. Fwing away from 2 skoguls and a frus druing Randgris fight? Reasonable/normal for that to happen unintentionally as long as it's not repeated. Fwinging away from a single seeker as a sniper? No, you can kill the seeker easily, that we will rule as mobdrop attempt on the player next to you.

There is definitely a subjective element to it and heRO GMs do not deny that. We ask that if there are issues with mob drops, players should try to provide as much screenshots with names (or better yet, videos) with as much detail as possible. Players may do it once to survive out of desperation, and we ask all players to be understanding with fellow players in hero if it only happens once. However if it does happen repeatedly or it's unreasonable to teleport away from the mob instead of just kill the mob, then it is grounds for a report.
