October 22, 2009
A few modifications to the rules are being made since we feel the current rules were not explicit enough about them. As with previous rule modifications, it would be much appreciated if people could translate these additions into other languages to prevent confusion due to language barriers.
The modifications are as follows:
1. Under Moderate Offenses, we've added a rule for Advertisement
2. Under Other, we're adding Punishment Evasion as a rule.
3. After reaching the 2 week ban period under Moderate Offenses, the next offense will result in punishment as defined under Severe Offenses. That is, it will result in a permanent ban.
The modifications are as follows:
1. Under Moderate Offenses, we've added a rule for Advertisement
- Advertisement:
Advertising on EssenceRO through any public channel ingame is not allowed. This includes advertising other servers, trades involving real currency, websites containing custom quest information, and advertising other websites in general. This includes public chat in towns, setting up chatrooms, and broadcasting. The exceptions are content on the EssenceRO domain and officially endorsed resources. All endorsed resources are included on the Resources page on the wiki.
2. Under Other, we're adding Punishment Evasion as a rule.
- Punishment Evasion:
Attempting to evade a given punishment will result in an additional, more severe punishment, depending on the circumstance. Examples include deleting a character to erase a jailtime, using a proxy to get around an IP ban, playing on a friend's account while all yours are banned, etc. Do note that evading punishment on a friend's account will result in their account getting punished as well. In the general case , the offender will receive double the original punishment on top of the remaining time.
3. After reaching the 2 week ban period under Moderate Offenses, the next offense will result in punishment as defined under Severe Offenses. That is, it will result in a permanent ban.
