Flooding
Intentionally spamming or flooding of message boards, chat rooms, or other communication venues will result in a 5 day jail term.

Multiple Accounts
You are not, at anytime allowed to have more then one account. Persons found to have multiple accounts will have those accounts removed from the game, any assets/stats earned from or as a result of these accounts removed, and their main account jailed for 20 days.

Player Harassment
As a side note, this is a difficult topic to be concise about. The Internet is such that public "flame wars" are bound to happen. It is therefore up to game staff to determine when a communication crosses the line into abusive. This is not to say everyone must play nice, this is a combat game after all. The harassment law only applies to continued and targeted harassment of a particular person, not the ocassional insult. The following language assumes a staff member has deemed the interaction as continued harassment. Public harassment of fellow players will result in a 10 day jail term. In general, private communications are just that, private, and not subject to decency or harassment laws. Players are encouraged to use the provided privacy tools to stop harassment. With that said, persons who attempt to undermine the privacy tools will also get their 10 days in jail.

Staff Harassment/Slander (Public Locations)
Any complaints against staff will be presented in a clear, courteous manner, bereft of profanity and overflowing in wit and charm. Slanderous/personal attacks/profane communications against staff members will not be tolerated, and will result in the offending remarks removed, and a 10 day jail sentence for the disseminator.

Selling of Service Pack Time, Accounts, Etc
Under no circumstances is the selling of subscription time, game accounts, items or game currency permitted. Persons found to be engaging in such activity will have their account jailed for atleast 10 days.

Service Pack Refunds
Service packs are none refundable and under any circumstances will ever be refunded; Should eXsistance be taken offline then the chances of a refund for valid Service Pack days may be possible; Otherwise no refunds of anysort will be given.

Scripts/Continual Connections
Programs designed to automate actions or continually collect information on the game are not permitted. Any piece of software, be it a custom-made "script" or a simple "refresher" that continually targets a section of the game without human interaction or regard to the content displayed is outright banned. In short, every click sent to the game servers must come from a live person, not an automated system. Anyone found using such a system will be jailed for 60 days, and any game assets suspected of coming from use of said script removed.

Unauthorized Access of Another Account/Account Sharing/Ownership
Logging in to, or using another person's account without express permission will result in deletion of any/all of the offender's accounts. To clarify the account sharing issue - you cannot share an account with another person, paid or unpaid. You may "babysit" someone's account, but you may not use another person's account as your own for a prolonged period of time. (and none of this "I was babysitting their account - for 2 years straight!") This rule is mainly in place to deal with situations where two people claim ownership over an account. Whoever pays the bills owns the account. Additionally, shared use of someone's paid account to access subscriber-only content or features is not "okay since it's paid for," it's stealing. It's just like going to an all-you-can-eat buffet and sharing.

Game Bug Abuse
Depending on severity, game bug abuse will result in anywhere from a 30 day jail term to account deletion. Bugs, loopholes, security flaws, or any inconsistencies in the game should be immediately reported in the appropriate thread on the forums.

Clarifications
Players have had questions concerning clarification of certain laws, restrictions, and scenarios, here are the answers:

Community Failure
Any activity that undermines the game community, presents a general nuisance to the community, or breaks the writ or spirit of any game law is forbidden. There is no set punishment for these actions, and it is up to the discretion of game staff to determine the penalty, dependent on the severity of the infraction.

Culpability
The account owner is responsible for their account at all times. This means if your friends/family/pet sheep logs into your account and causes trouble, you will be held responsible. Keep your username and password secure, as you would for any other site.

Repeat Offenders
Harsher punishments/deletions may occur for repeat offenders.

Loss of Items Due to Unauthorized Access/"Hacking"
Lost items will only be returned, provided the items can be tracked.

Lost Accounts Due to Unauthorized Access/"Hacking"
Accounts will be returned to the proper owner provided they can confirm their identity. No refund of game items or currency will occur. Players who continually "lose" their account will stop have it locked out from gameplay.

Player Placed Images
Images containing nudity follow the US laws on public nudity. Topless males are allowed, topless females are not. Bottomless nudity is never allowed. Nudity laws do not apply to works of art, subject to general consensus on what is art. In general there are little restrictions on image content, provided that offensive images are not placed where people who don't want to see them don't have to (i.e. Signatures). Images posted that are above PG-13 in content should have a warning in the subject line (i.e. Check this out! Warning: graphic). Failure to do so may result in a ban or jailing.

Player/Staff Interaction
Both players and staff are expected to coexist in a polite and respectful environment. This applies to professional interaction only, as there are instances when the staff member is acting in the capacity of a player, and not an administrator. This is not to say a staff member may become abusive and claim they were acting in a player capacity, but it does mean a staff member need not be stoic at all times. They're volunteers, and need to relax/get into arguments too. This should never be the case in professional settings (i.e. Player Support requests).
