GENERAL RULES
Quote
- Respect all other members. People don't always get along, but you can always avoid/ignore one another.
- Do not disrespect the GMs or Staff. You'll find your account quite missing if you do.
- Harassment of any kind will not be tolerated.
- Use the forums to ask for technical help before PMing a GM. We're a busy bunch.
- Giving your password to anybody is entirely your responsibility. If anything happens to your account, the GMs are not responsible to restore you. On a similar note, you're responsible for anyone on your account and/or IP address. We don't care if your brother, neighbor, dog, or brother's neighbor's dog was the one botting, being an assclown, etc. You'll still take the fall when the IP gets banned.
- For the love of God, NO DRAMA. If you do not get along, avoid one another. Whoever continues to harrass, get a screenshot, and they're banned. Should you both persist, all parties involved will be banned.
- Do not ask why so-and-so was banned. If they're banned, it was for a reason. Associating yourself with a banned player is not in your favor.
- You are EXPECTED to read announcements on the forums, especially those about bugs and such. Being caught doing something you didn't know was a bug because you don't read the forums will not be accepted as a valid excuse.
- Elitist attidues will NOT be tolerated; we were all novices once. Being older than another player or having more 'l33t' items does not give you a reason to gloat.
- Don't ask to be a GM or Sub-GM. Asking this will pretty much ensure that we will NEVER, EVER even remotely consider you for either position. Those who seek power will never receive it. The beautiful part of this rule is that the only people who apply now will be people who never read our rules, which is really not a good start

GAME RULES
Quote
- No KSing (Kill Stealing, attacking a monster someone is fighting without their permission). This also applies to MVPs as well (If you die or warp back to town the MVP becomes free game. If you snap, backslide away, walk away etc. from the MVP, it is still rightfully yours so long as you remain on the screen). If you are nowhere to be seen, it is no longer rightfully yours. This also applies to Homunculi KSing players. Any Alchemist and/or Creator is responsible for what his/her Homunculus does. This server has no maps in which KSing is permitted.
- Mobs in Dead Branch arenas belong to whomever spawned them, even after they die. This ownership lasts 5 minutes of away time. Only after the room has been deserted 5 minutes (after which we can assume the owner has no intention of returning to kill the monsters) may the monsters become free for someone else.
- No cheating or bug abusing of any kind. If you're not sure it's a bug, report it anyway.
- No looting items from someone else.
- Botting will result in a big fat IP ban.
- AFK Levelling tricks that let you gain EXP or items while not at the computer (for example, involving Geographers or Autocast card combinations or Homunculi) of any kind are considered pseudobotting and will result in the same penalty as botting. If you do not respond within 60 seconds, you will be permanently banned. This does not include party leeching, which is OK.
- Chat windows in Prontera are to be placed on SIDEWALKS only!!!
- Dual Clienting is allowed now and not a banable offense.
- You MUST report anyone you know is violating any of these rules.
- Do not pester GMs for special 'advantages', or they'll give you a special mute.
- Using any alt-code symbols in your char or guild name is unsupported by MySQL any problems with these characters are unsupported by the Deli team.
- Players are absolutely not to ask or accept to be raised (Except in Events), trained, healed or buffed by a GM. They may absolutely not accept items from a GM either, unless it is a specific administrator-approved restoration.
- NO spamming spells needlessly in town or any place highly populated, including songs or dances. Some people will lag from this.
- No spamming chat either, especially over broadcast. Similarly, if you're arguing over something or in a heated debate, try to keep it outside of a common area like Prontera or open a chatbox.
- To clarify the above: Do not spam the broadcaster (includes broadcasting similar messages without waiting a sensible amount of time, and broadcasting many messages that serve no purpose). Broadcasting for events is fine, though this cannot be used as a loophole
- Vending in Prontera and Alberta must only be done at the commerce center. The warper at the main square will warp you to the commerce center. Prontera's commerce center is neatly separated into four lines spanning Y-coordinates 275 to 300. Anyone outside those limits will be significantly penalized. If vending outside of Prontera or Alberta, no restrictions apply. Please read the Vending Warper's RULES option.
- No "trash talk" broadcasting.
- Do not log into 2 accounts at the same time.
- Banned players should wait out their bans, not play on other accounts. Aug. 11, 2010
- Be polite with people.
-PKing IS permitted. Get strong or get friends, and get revenge. It spices up PVP. HOWEVER, the PVP Arena (the indoors arena, not PVP Izlude) is officially a NO-PK ZONE. While PKing and surprise may be allowed in Izlude and Guild Dungeons, any PKs committed in the PVP Arena (arenaduel.gat) are a punishable offense if screenshot evidence is provided. So anybody targeted or just plain weak may go duel there with no worries.
- Have fun

CONTACT WITH GMs OR ADMINs
Quote
- On the forums, if it is a general question, please ask in the Help section and wait at least a day to see if other players can resolve your problem. If not, THEN you may forum PM one of us. Remember, we get a lot of them, so be patient.
- In game, you are free to contact a GM with the (GM) tag at any time for help. The above rule applies. If it is a general question or something answered on the forums, the GM team reserves the right to ignore you
- Don't trust just anyone with a (GM) tag!!! A GM will NEVER ask you for your password, only your user name. You should trust only GMs from the official GM list. Be wary of scam attempts from people with variations of the official GM names.
Following these rules will lead to a happier, more professional GM team, and hopefully a better experience for the player base.
