IcronticShard Rules of Gameplay
(Updated)
 
If you catch someone breaking a rule or abusing a bug, you must provide proof with a Screenshot of the event and page staff immediatly. To take a screenshot, press the Print Screen button on your keyboard. Then go to a program such as MS Paint or similar. In the program you can select "Paste" and it will paste the screen as it was when you hit Print Screen. Save that to a file and send it to a staff member in IRC or via email.

----------------------------------------------------

 Macroing

Unattended macroing is when you leave y our screen/monitor and let a software perform a serios of tasks in order to gain skill or other things in-game. Macroing itself is not forbidden, as long as you are "attended macroing" and able to check the screen for what's happening you safe.
Unattended Macroing is allowed currently during the Hours of 11pm to 9am (with approx. 1 hour give at each end)


1st Incident - You will be Kicked offline or placed in the Macroers Warning Cell. (left up to the staff member who does this if the kick counts as first offense)
2nd Incident - you will be put inside "jail" for 24 hours. This means you can't leave this place for 24 hours with this character and by now you should learn not to perform "unattended macroing".
3rd Incident - you will be put inside "jail" for 48 hours.
4th Incident - you will be put inside "jail for 1 week and the skill you are macroing will be set to 0.
5th Incident - you will now be banned from game.You won't be allowed to login again with your account.

Every 2 month your record is cleared (unless you are banned) and the Incident will begun to count from 0 again.

Doing this will result in.....

1st offense is warning from staff, 2nd offense is 24 hour jail of account. 3rd Offense is 1 week jail of your account or Ban depending on severity of the abuse.

No attacking Invul/Merchant NPC's

Attacking and/or killing Merchant or Player Merchant characters will result in the following:

1st offense: 24 hour jail of char, 2nd offense: 48 hour jail of account, 3rd offense: 1 week jail of account and a random skill set to 0, 4th offense: account will be banned.

----------------------------------------------------

No harrassing staff/Player

1st offense is warning from staff, 2nd offense is 24 hour jail of account. 3rd Offense is 1 week jail of your account or Ban depending on severity of the Harrasment.

----------------------------------------------------

No res killing

Res killing is the killing of a player within 2 minutes of them being ressurected. If the player was killed by you, and he returns to try to loot his own body while you are looting (in order to try to save some items) then it is NOT reskilling to kill him in an attempt to stop the looting. It is also not reskilling if he re-attacks you. To provide proof of being reskilled you need to give staff a screenshot of the event for proof. The offenses are handled the same as for harrassing.

Advertising Other Shards In-Game or in IRC

You're most likely to be banned from irc-channel for a period of time and your in-game characters will be jailed for 24-72 hours or in worse case your account will be banned. Unbanning rule applies to this issue.
