1General Conduct

The golden rule: treat other players and staff the way you would want to be treated.

1. 1.1Be respectful. Harassment, hate speech, racism, sexism, threats and personal attacks are never tolerated — in game, on Discord, or anywhere connected to the community.
2. 1.2Keep it civilized. Heated rivalry is part of the game; targeted bullying, witch-hunts and drama are not.
3. 1.3Staff decisions are final. You may appeal calmly through the proper channel, but arguing, insulting or spamming staff will not help your case.
4. 1.4Use common sense. If something feels like cheating, scamming or abuse, it almost certainly breaks a rule even if it is not listed word-for-word below.

2Account & Security

Your account is your responsibility — everything that happens on it is on you.

1. 2.1You are responsible for every action taken on your account, including by anyone you share it with. "My friend/brother did it" is not a defense.
2. 2.2Keep your login details private. Staff will never ask for your password — anyone who does is trying to steal your account.
3. 2.3Selling, buying, trading or "renting" accounts is forbidden. Accounts belong to Eternal Realms, not to players.
4. 2.4Account sharing to boost rankings, events or sieges is not allowed.
5. 2.5Lost, stolen or shared accounts are not eligible for item or progress restoration.

3Third-Party Programs, Bots & Hacks

Play the game with the game. Anything that automates or alters it for an advantage is banned.

1. 3.1No bots, macros, auto-clickers, auto-hunt or any tool that plays for you — including hardware/mouse macros for unattended farming.
2. 3.2No hacks of any kind: speed hacks, teleport/warp, no-clip, damage/stat modification, duplication, packet editing or memory editing.
3. 3.3No modifying the game client or files to gain an advantage, reveal hidden information, or bypass intended limits.
4. 3.4No third-party programs that read or inject into the game process.
5. 3.5AFK farming is fine only if you are genuinely present and not using automation to respond or move.

4Bugs & Exploits

Found something broken? Report it — do not profit from it.

1. 4.1Report bugs to staff privately as soon as you find them. Do not share them publicly while unfixed.
2. 4.2Abusing a bug or exploit — duplication, infinite gold/items, skipping intended mechanics, getting somewhere you should not — is one of the most serious offenses and leads to removal of gains and a ban.
3. 4.3Knowingly benefiting from someone else’s exploit (e.g. buying duped items) is also punishable.
4. 4.4When in doubt whether something is intended, stop and ask. Cooperation is rewarded; abuse is not.

5Real-Money Trading (RMT)

The only real money that should ever touch the server is an optional donation through the official shop.

1. 5.1Selling, buying or trading in-game items, gold, accounts, characters or services for real money (or for currency/items on another server) is strictly forbidden.
2. 5.2Advertising or arranging RMT in any channel results in an immediate ban for all accounts involved.
3. 5.3Gifting in game is allowed; disguising an RMT deal as a "gift" is not.

6Gameplay & Fair Play

Compete hard, but compete honestly.

1. 6.1No scamming. Misleading trades, fake "doubling" services, or going back on an agreed deal are punishable, and staff do not reimburse scam victims.
2. 6.2No blocking NPCs, portals, quest objects or boss spawns to deny other players.
3. 6.3No win-trading, score manipulation or collusion in events, rankings or arenas.
4. 6.4Dungeon sieges and PvP are open warfare — but exploiting siege mechanics, using third-party tools, or abusing bugs during them is not.
5. 6.5Excessive, targeted spawn-camping or harassment intended solely to ruin another player’s experience is griefing and may be actioned.

7Names & Identity

1. 7.1Character, guild and pet names must not be offensive, hateful, sexual, or break real-world laws.
2. 7.2Do not impersonate staff (GM, Admin, Mod, "Owner") or other players with confusingly similar names.
3. 7.3No names made of disruptive special characters or invisible/blank characters.
4. 7.4Staff may rename anything that breaks these rules without notice.

8Chat & Community

World/global chat is shared by everyone — keep it readable and welcoming.

1. 8.1No spam, flooding, or excessive caps/special characters in public channels.
2. 8.2No advertising other servers, websites, or recruiting for them. This is an instant, non-negotiable ban.
3. 8.3No hate speech, slurs, sexual content, gore, or sharing of another person’s private information (doxxing).
4. 8.4Keep global/world chat in English where possible so staff can moderate; other languages are welcome in guild, party and whisper.
5. 8.5Do not backseat-moderate or threaten other players with bans — report instead.

9Donations & Cash Shop

Donations are optional and keep the servers online — thank you for supporting them.

1. 9.1Donations and cash-shop purchases are voluntary and non-refundable.
2. 9.2Filing a chargeback or payment dispute instead of contacting staff results in a permanent ban on all linked accounts.
3. 9.3Cash-shop offerings aim to stay convenience- and cosmetic-focused; report any item you believe is unfair so we can review it.
4. 9.4Do not attempt to exploit, duplicate or manipulate the donation/points system — doing so voids the points and bans the account.

10Staff & Support

1. 10.1Staff will never ask for your password, and never trade or hold items "for safekeeping" — anyone doing so is impersonating staff; report them.
2. 10.2Follow reasonable instructions from staff during events, incidents or investigations.
3. 10.3For help, bug reports, scam reports or ban appeals, open a ticket / post in the correct channel on our Discord with clear details and evidence (screenshots, video, timestamps).
4. 10.4Bribing, threatening or harassing staff to influence a decision is itself a punishable offense.

11Punishments & Appeals

Penalties scale with the severity and intent of the offense, and with your history.

1. 11.1Typical ladder: verbal warning → chat mute → temporary ban → permanent ban. Serious offenses (exploit/dupe abuse, RMT, hacking, chargebacks, server advertising) can skip straight to a permanent ban.
2. 11.2Bans may apply to every account, character and IP/hardware linked to the offender. Evading a ban with a new account extends or permanently seals the punishment.
3. 11.3Staff may remove illegitimately gained items, gold and progress at any time.
4. 11.4Punishments are at staff discretion based on the spirit of these rules, not only their letter.
5. 11.5To appeal, open a ticket on Discord and present your case calmly with evidence. Appeals made by spamming, threatening or insulting staff are dismissed.
