Dynasty RO Official Rules.

DynastyRO INGame Rules

Language [Mute, Warning, Kick]
General: Players have to speak english, to GMs, to other players, and to local broadcasts such as @request. Players only have a right to speak a different language if the listener or a GM can understand it.


Dealing with the Staff [Warning, Mute, Kick, Jail, Temporary Ban]
Respect the Staff:Players don't have to like the staff, but they are required to be civil and respectful to the staff. Players must cooperate with the staff, if they are in need of assistance. They are the backbone of this server, so please treat them nicely. This includes asking any member of the staff, if they can become GMs. If a member of the staff is suspected to be breaking the rules, please report them with the proper ScreenShots and explanation. Disrespecting a GM will be punished depending on the severity of the harassment.

Naming: Do not impersonate any member of the staff. Any non-staff player with character names, guild names, or guild titles found with the word [ ¬ ] in them, will be punished. For guilds, the staff will ask you to rename your guild or change your guild titles. Failure to comply will result in a break for guild, jail, or a possible ban. Please report name abuses with proper ScreenShots.

Account Information: No one in the staff will ever ask any player for their account information. If a member of the staff is suspected of breaking this rule, please report immediately with proper ScreenShots.

Dealing with other Players [Warning, Mute, Kick, Jail, Temporary Ban]
Respect Players: Like the staff, you are not required to like other players, but you are required to be civil and respectful to them.

Naming: Do not impersonate other players through names or public/private chat.

Scamming: The act of manipulating trades and deals between 2 or more players to gain private information, such as login names and passwords, and items are unacceptable. Players are advised to be responsible for their items/zeny/ account information. The staff will not take into account any self-inflicted mistakes that could have been avoided. Scamming Reports must include ScreenShots of the deal/trade, characters involved, and the crime acted out.

Kill Stealing (KS):
Kill Stealing (KS) is attacking a monster that is being attacked by another player/party, is part of an aggressive mob, or being mobbed by another player/party.

Reporting: Conclusive screenshots minimum or video.
Punishment:
Progressive Discipline, including, but not limited to:
Explanation of infraction (warning)
Mute
Jail
Ban
Exception:
If the player/party runs from the monster (to where the person loses “aggro”) or all die. At that point the monster is available for killing.

MVPs are Free for All (FFA) – meaning KS does NOT apply to them. Anyone may attack them at anytime. Grief Play APPLIES TO ALL SERVER ACTIVITIES.

MVP competition is allowed and encouraged, but under no circumstance are players allowed to grief. A person or party will be consider grieving when they are interfering with the killing of an MVP and they are unprepared (and unable) to kill the MVP.

Reporting: Conclusive screenshot(s) or video.
Punishment: At discretion of GM.

Exception:
If the MVP is NOT naturally spawned it belongs to the party that spawned it. If left untouched for more than 15 minutes it becomes a FFA. This does not mean after 15 of spawn time, but 15 minutes after the “Spawner” leaves it.

Borrowing: Whenever you borrow items to people, do not ask the GMs to return your items.
You borrow - you take responsability.

Exploitations [Permanent Ban]
Hacking: Hacking will result in a permanent IP ban. Players must complete Hack Reports immediately with proper ScreenShots.

Bug Abusing: Anyone caught not reporting a bug and then abusing it, will result in a permanent ban. Bug Abuse Reports must be accompanied with ScreenShots.

3rd Party Tools: Anyone caught using third party tools or any other buffs to Ro gaming, will be permanently banned.

Blocking of an NPC [Kick, Jail]
Never block an NPC with your character, chat, or vendor.

The victim must tell the harasser to stop first, but if they refuse to stop, victims can then report with ScreenShots. This includes character and guild names/titles/emblems.

Profanity: The use of curse, swear, or profane words offensively and excessively are unacceptable. The punishment for profanity will be subject to change depending on the level of severity. This will also include harsh and offensive insults related/unrelated to server that are done in game. This also includes character and guild names/titles/emblems. Victims should not retaliate or cause the acts of insults. ScreenShots are needed for Profanity Reports.
