2. Good behavior is expected from the staff and players alike. The following is not allowed, and will be enforced with jailing or a ban.- Harassment
- Extreme Profanity (Extreme cases will not be allowed. Keep it PG-13)
- Racism
- Avoidance of the swear filters functions
- Ignoring a staff member’s <b>reasonable</b> requests
- Failure to report bugs, players disobeying these rules, and exploits
- Massing out inappropriate images or websites (eg: Pornographic images)
- Advertising your server on Era.
- Spar PKing.
- Selling kills or abusing the HP level system (e.g. free kills)
- Interrupting events (such as not PKing and letting yourself be killed)
- Using business or gang tags to scam or sell tags to players.
Purposefully excluding staff members from mass messages for any reason (or no reason) will be considered potentially evading the rules, and will be treated as such
We expect decent behavior on all channels of Graal communication that relate to Era. This includes (but is not limited to) the main game, cross-server communication (e.g. global PMs), and posts on the GraalOnline forum (both the Era section and private forum messages).
Note: Don't bug staff members to give you things you did not earn any way another player could. The Era staff team maintains the right to make special-case judgments or decisions for situations where following this document would be unreasonable.
3. Scamming
Scamming is illegal; however, if you do not use the trade and lend systems in place, we will not return any items. Our goal is to help players learn from their mistakes and take measures to ensure the same mistakes are not made again. We do not want players becoming career victims and utilizing the PR Staff as a crutch or shield versus scams.
Always use the trade window by saying /itemtrade <accountname> and never drop trade. In the event a drop trade is necessary, that is very rare, contact a PR to watch the trade. If you give someone access to your storage, do it at your own risk. Furthermore, when you accept a trade, it is assumed that you agreed with the trade. We will not reverse any trades.
For lends, you say :sendtrade <accountname>
Note: The stealing of mining rocks when using a TNT is not illegal. The NPCs' are not account locked, thus it is not illigal, nor is it stealing to go into a mine someone has TNTed and mine the rocks.
4. Account sharing:
Graal accounts are not supposed to be shared between players. Each account is reserved for the original creator of the account. Accounts found to be shared will be banned from the server without notice. The IP and PC ID will be logged and given to the Accounts Administration Team to be dealt with. Advertising the selling, trading, or giving away of accounts is also not allowed.
[Reference 1] http://www.graalonline.com/docs/cond...ge=6#violation- ·In certain circumstances, such as extremely abusive behavior, a user may be locked out without warning or notice of any kind.
- Note: Era does not fully follow the policy of e-mailing banned accounts or the amount of time for each punishment presented here. Each violation is punished according to the management’s discretion.
[Reference 2] http://www.graalonline.com/docs/cond...age=5#scamming
5. Cross-server Trading and Non-Era Currencies:
The buying and selling of Era items, gangs, businesses, etcetera for any non-Era currency (USD, Gelats, gift cards, items on other graal servers, etc) is illegal. Any perceived attempt at circumventing detection of selling items for USD will be met bans. Such illegal alternative methods of sale include but are not limited to excluding staff members from masses, asking to talk over AIM or other messaging services, and asking to go to another server to chat. Any player who attempts or succeeds in USDing will be punished accordingly. You will face a full reset and ban of character.
Note: After checking with global administrators, we have confirmed that the rules for selling/trading gelats is determined by the server itself, therefore, Era has decided to make this ILLEGAL. By this we mean, you are not allowed to buy, sell, or trade gelats for any in-Era items. This includes, but is not limited to, gelat codes, or gelats themselves which are later traded in Skill Games. Any player caught doing it will face the punishment set for General USDing. Such punishments include, but is not limited to, jail time, a reset, ban time, or just a warning. Please keep in mind, considering how Gelat Potions are in-game items themselves, you are allowed to sell them for <i>Era-Currency</i> (i.e Guns, Items, or Money) however, you are not allowed to sell the gelats themselves.
6. The selling of either businesses or gangs is illegal. If a player decides they want to quit from either a business or a gang they can make a suggestion on who they want to replace them. However, the ultimate say on who owns the business or gang will be the Gang/Business Admin. He/She will take into account what the previous owner wants as well as what he/she believes would be the best choice.
7. Harrassment
Harassment is defined as a feeling of intense annoyance caused by continued and persistent attacks and/or criticism. Era Rules state that a person commits a crime of harassment when, with intent to harass, annoy, or alarm another person through written or verbal messaging within the confines of Era. Including but not limited to: Graal Online Server: Era, Graal Online: Era RC, Official Graal Forums: Era. A threat is considered harassment when, a declaration of an intention or a determination to inflict harm upon a person’s real physical body is made and/or a warning of something unpleasant is made with the intent to instill fear or dread in a person is made. Continuous pking of a player is not considered harassment. Era is a pking server, therefore, you are expected to arm yourself and participate with other players. In the event a player is following you around pking you, you can hire PPA (say /ppa), do some mining, or ask another player for help. The assailant will be warned and then jailed if he/she continues. Jailings will range from 1-2 hours. Numerous jailings will result in a 14 day ban.
As initially stated within the Graal Code of Conduct, this is a Rated PG-13 video game. The inclusion of any discrimination of the outside world is strictly prohibited; you absolutely may not use any racial slurs or forms of discrimination against a fellow player. The game is meant to combine people as a community. What you say to a friend privately in a PM or in other desert levels is one thing, but when using racial slurs around other players, we will first ask that you please be careful with what you’re saying. Second offense is a jailing, and third offense is a ban.
Generally, it is up to the player to decide the name for his or her character/party while playing GraalOnline . However, some character/party names will be considered abusive behaviour: for example, names indicating other specific player characters, the players themselves, GraalOnline staff, or any real-life personal information will not be accepted. It is also unacceptable to use profanity, racially or sexually explicit words or generally threatening wording as a player's character/party name. "Kill_XXXX" is an example of an unacceptable name. Judgment of what is and is not disruptive is entirely at the discretion of GraalOnline.
