Rules

Small private realm, run unattended. These rules are what the public-chat watcher enforces in real time and what the operator audits in the verdict log afterward. Short on purpose — read them before registering.

  1. 01

    Respect other players — bots included

    Insults, harassment, slurs and hate speech are flagged automatically on the public channels by the chat watcher. Bots count as players: targeting them, or testing how creatively you can phrase an insult to dodge the watcher, both count. Private channels (whispers, party, guild) are off-limits to the watcher, but the rule still applies there.

  2. 02

    No cheats, no exploits

    No third-party clients, hacks, scripts, packet tampering, or bot frameworks beyond the realm's built-in PlayerBots. No deliberate abuse of game bugs. Finding a bug is not the same as exploiting it — the realm's source code is on GitLab if you want to open an issue. Exploiting is a permanent ban applied on the operator's next log review.

  3. 03

    No spam, no advertising

    Don't flood the public channels. Don't post URLs to gold-selling sites, other realms, or external services in public chat — those trigger an immediate severe sanction.

  4. 04

    Your account is yours alone

    The realm never asks for your password, recovery codes or email — anyone who does is impersonating staff. One human per account: don't share credentials, hand the account to someone else, or buy/sell accounts.

  5. 05

    No real-life information of others

    No doxxing. Don't post real names, addresses, phone numbers, photos, or any other identifying information of another player without their explicit consent. On the public channels, this is a severe sanction on the spot.

  6. 06

    13+ only

    You confirmed this at registration. Restated here for honesty: text chat between strangers on a home-hosted realm is not the right environment for younger players. Younger family playing on a household account is on the adult who owns the account.

  7. 07

    The realm runs unattended

    No Discord, no ticket system, no GMs polled in real time. Every sanction is automatic against a published threshold (see the Privacy page for the full table). Mutes clear on their own, the score regenerates, and the operator audits the verdict log periodically to clear false positives.

  8. 08

    Keep it small and welcoming

    Help newcomers when you can. Share what you know. Leave the door open. This is a hobby realm with no advertising and no growth target — every player matters, and the tone here is set by what each of us brings to it.
