Rules

Please contact a DM if you have any questions about any of the following rules.

Death Penalty

XP will not be refunded for deaths that occur during lag, server crashing, etc.

Farming

Farming is defined as repeatedly traveling across a particular zone in order to kill creatures for benefits of XP, items, and/or gold.

Sundren uses a unique experience curve system that restricts farming activities, however if you are caught farming there will be repercussions.

Character Recreation

Players have the ability to recreate their characters at level 1, but XP, gold, and items may not be transferred.

PvP/CvC

PvP combat is permitted everywhere in Sundren, however attacking near cities or towns may result in arrest or even execution. Abusing PvP by repeatedly killing a character within a short period is not tolerated, we log player deaths and we will know if anyone is breaking this rule. Deaths resulting from player versus player combat always incur an experience penalty.

Pickpocketing

Pick pocketing is not to be abused, repeatedly stealing from someone is considered harassment and abusive behavior.

Metagaming

Meta-gaming is the use of information obtained out of character in character. This is unfair to other role players and if problems arise a DM will handle the situation.

Ninja Looting

Ninja looting is defined as following someone else, letting them fight in combat while you pick up all loot right under their nose, keeping it for yourself. This will cost heavy XP deductions if anyone is caught doing so.

Out of Character

OOC or out of character talk can be disruptive to gameplay, Sundren is a roleplay server and people are expected to stay in character at all times, the occasional comment is fine but we ask that it is kept to a minimum (or preferably, use tells/party chat).

All OOC chat needs to be defined somehow, using brackets or otherwise.

E.g., // AFK or (( Be right back! ))

Transferring Items/Muling

Transferring items from one character you own to another is not permissible under any circumstances, as this is considered exploitation. Also, hoarding items on a particular character/account is not permitted.

Administrator Supremacy

Server administrators and dungeon masters make decisions for the good of the server. Their word on something is final unless appealed to another official who will then review the situation and decide to reinforce or abolish the decision previously made. If you believe you have been treated unfairly by a member of our staff, please make a post on the forums regarding your situation. Insulting DMs or staff members whether publically or ingame is not a good way to get help, they are regular people just like everyone else who want to have fun.

Harassment Policy

Harassment of another player will never be tolerated, for any reason. If someone is harassing you please contact a member of our staff and provide screenshots of the incident.

Cheating & Exploiting

Cheating and exploiting bugs in the server or general game mechanics will not be tolerated, and is bannable if you are caught deliberately doing so.

Griefing

Griefing is the physical component of harassment which includes repeatedly killing or pick pocketing a player. This will not be tolerated.
