These rules are wroten by Stoican, these rules can be changed anytime, its recommended to know these rules.
Saying that you didn't know one of the rules after you have broken it will not count anymore.
Creating Account names:
When creating an account/character name(s) the following must be considered:
~ Current Staff (no Admin impersonation ~ bannable offense)
~ Objectional Language (racist, profanity, derogatory, sexual content)
Names that have been created that are deemed inappropriate will be asked to be removed by a ThreeMusketeers staff member.
Donations*
Donation rewards are a privilege not a right. We reserve the right to deny, refund, or keep your item if we wish to do so. When donating you're awarded a thank you gift for your contributions to our servers. If, for any reason, your contribution is refunded, withheld, or back charged, your accounts will be frozen and/or terminated 'till further notice. By donating you fully understand their are no refunds given for any reason.
Spam
Any spam In-Game (i.e. repeatedly saying the same thing in general, private chat) Max is 4 lines/min. Spammers will be punished with a warning, mute and possible ban, regardless of whether it is hot keyed or not. If it is a first offense, you will be warned to stop spamming the chat. If you do not respond or you repeat the offense, you will be muted for one hour. Please be aware that if your character has been muted, the timer will only count down when the offending character is online.
Spamming websites or advertisements is an immediate ban.
Scams
ThreeMusketeers staff will not be accountable for any lost items or monety due to scamming activity. It is the responsibility of the buyer/seller to verify all transactions before finalization. This includes, but not limited to: stealing, trades, selling of accounts, and mail fraud.
Bots
Being in an area and going Away From Keyboard (AFK) or just not being at your computer while having your character continuously clicking as attacking to kill monsters around you/ to collect items or gather experience Points is not allowed. First offense will be a forced disconnection and a second offense will be a ban that WILL NOT be lifted. You may be banned for the first offense but this is purely the discretion of the Administrator.
Admin/Mod Impersonation
The impersonation of any Admin/Mod will result in a permanent ban. To avoid having a similar name to a staff member, and therefore getting accused of impersonation please check the staff list before making a character. Also, please note that impersonation is not limited to having a similar name to a member of In-Game staff, but also involves PM'ing users In-Game claiming that you are a member of staff.
To avoid Admin impersonation, please educate yourself on who the current staff are, and make sure that they are who you are talking to In-Game. Please also remember that a Game Master will never ask for your personal details(Account Information), and won't ask for an item in exchange for anything else (except in events where they may ask for low value items such as vial of water). Admins will also speak in a professional manner In-Game, and not use any form of slang.
Harassment
Harassment can come in many forms, and all will result in a ban. Depending on how serious the offense is, the ban length may differ but it will usually be a permanent ban. If you are being harassed by any user or staff member, please provide evidence (in the form of a screenshot or video) to a Adminwho will deal with it accordingly.
Methods of harassment include-
-Being followed server to server for purposes such as stealing spawns, insulting or killing in the arena
-Repeatedly PM'ing or whispering someone In-Game with threats or insults.
Harassment is not limited to just this, and any form of harassment will be dealt with very seriously.
Staff tooling
Claiming to know a Staff Member In-Game, and using them to gain an edge in an argument (i.e. I know... And he'll/she'll ban you) is Staff Tooling, and will be dealt with a permanent ban. If you do know a Admin, then you should know that they won't ban without a very good reason, and indeed will not take sides when involved in a player dispute.
Disrespect Toward Staff Members
Severe disrespect toward a Admin may result in forced disconnection, a mute, or a ban, depending on how serious the disrespect is. Remember that the staff are volunteering their time and efforts to help make ThreeMusketeers a better place for you. Respect their authority, as they have been given it for a reason. Should you have any problem with the way a member of staff is treating you, please do not show them disrespect, rather report them as appropriate.
Hacking or Bug Exploitation
Using any form of third party software, or exploiting any In-Game bug to get an advantage over other players will result in a ban. This will result in a permanent ban, with no questions asked. Using phishing pages and or applications to obtain account information is completely forbidden, and if ever found expect to be, banned forever.
Restoration of Items:
Admins/staff members will not restore items lost in trades, scams, account sharing, selling to NPC, or rollbacks. Your items are your responsibility. Please take extreme caution when working with your items.
Hint: If you have gained or sold an item that you feel is with worth keeping or you gained levels, be sure to relog and save it to the memory (cache). to prevent the rollbacks. Just relog.
Killer Stealing (KS):
This is not a bannable offense unless it gets to the point of harassment. Screen shots are needed that includes: talking to the person asking not to ks, location switching and having the KSer follow (be sure to show your location switch). Switching locations include all the areas you've been. You must report this to a Admin. Be descriptive of what happened in the incident.
In the game server, Ksing must clearly show evidence of a harrassment. Provide proof by screen shots. You may report this to an online Admin (you can find them by ::players). If the are able, they can come observe activity and take appropriate actions. Like someone stole ur General Graardor when you tried to hide and heal for a sec.
Looting:
If a person does not pick up thier drops before the loot appears it is fair game for anyone to pick up. Note: if you are killing a monster and you don't pick your drops, other do have access to your drops and is not consider looting... Or you don't have space but you need to heal 1st, tell the other player that, you really need the item, and don't pick it up.
Advertisements
Any form of advertisements such as: promoting other servers, enticements to go to websites not affilated with Fame, and or selling penya for monetary gain is cause for immediate ban.

Things to Remember
• Players and staff should be treated with the utmost respect at all times - even when they're getting on your nerves. If you really want to bitch about a player, you're free to do so here in the staff section - there may even be other Mods or Admins who feel the same, please onley do this when your not using offensive language.!
• On a related note, the staff section is your friend. If there's a burning question you need to ask about how you should be working as a Admin/Mod, there's likely to be someone here who knows the answer, so feel free to ask!
• Don't be afraid to come out and talk to the people.
• No matter how you may be feeling at the time, you should strive to appear approachable to players. Nothing inspires fear quite as much as a pissed-off Admin.
• If a player asks you a question you don't know the answer to, be honest and admit you don't know. Pretending to know something and being wrong is far worse than not knowing something. Man up, admit defeat, and send 'em along to someone who can better help them.
• If, for whatever reason, you do not understand and/or we don't state a rule in a situation you are unsure is safe, please contact any Forum Administrator or Moderator immediately. Above all, just be yourself! We didn't hire you all to be a bunch of rule-spouting robots, we want you to be the kind of staff team that players respect and cooperate with, not the kind of team that the people fear and hide away from!
