The use of profanity is not permitted. Any use of profanity or any profane abuse will result in a warning to the player followed by a suspension of the player's character if it continues.
Note, "profanity" includes words and phrases generally considered offensive and is not limited to specific words of profanity. It includes profanity disguised by the use of numbers or symbols, e.g. H*llo.
Profanity could also include profane abuse involving out-of-character racial or ethnic slurs or language that is out-of-character hurtful or participates in hate propaganda or offensive stereotyping.
Severe offenders could be suspended without warning.
Harassment of other players will not be tolerated. This includes but is not limited to sexual harassment (lewd comments), abuse of emotion commands, targeting other players in message boards or in game for the purpose of harassment, etc.
If asked by anyone to stop harassing or targeting another player, do so immediately. Failure to stop the behavior will result in the suspension of your character.
What constitutes "harassment" is widely varied and comes from the state-of-mind of the person on the receiving end. Remember that in cases where players seem excessively sensitive, Terris Staff will determine whether the average person would feel "harassed" and take appropriate action.
If you feel you are being harassed, never ever respond in any form (shouts, chats, emotes, tells, etc) but rather contact a Terris Staff member.
Terris allows multiple characters to be created for a given account. We encourage players to explore the different character types available in Terris using this mechanism. Note, however, transferring items or gold between characters is not allowed and that you may not run more than one character in the game at the same time. If you do either, your characters will be altered to rectify the abuse and a penalty will be imposed. If it continues, your characters will be suspended.
Terris is a land filled with quests and mysteries. The major enjoyment in Terris is the discovery of new areas and the solving of quests. Thus we ask that players not give out answers to quests or reveal the solutions to brainteasers. Clues and hints are fine, but supplying answers is prohibited.
Persons revealing solutions will be heavily penalized.
Disruptive behavior which may affect othersí enjoyment of Terris will not be tolerated. Disruptive behavior may include, but is not limited to, scrolling in shouts, chats, says, tells, wails, emotes, wishes, in-and-out of rooms, etc.; out-of-character shouts over the regular shout channel; or domination of shouts in both a contentious and tedious manner.
Disruptive behavior might also include but not be limited to roleplay that is antisocial rather than appropriately, enjoyably "dark" in a fantasy environment; or to out-of-character statements by players that they are permanently banned.
All such behavior may result in your character[s] loss of privileges for a time, and if continued may cause suspension.
Roleplay point "trading" is not permitted. 1) Solicitation for roleplay points from other players, and/or 2) agreeing to trade, and/or 3) trading will result in a penalty adjustment to your character[s].
Continued abuse may result in suspension. For appropriate use of roleplay points, see HELP ROLEPLAY within the game.
Overt sexual actions are not permitted in Terris. No areas of Terris may be considered private. Terris caters to players of all ages, and behavior should be appropriate for everyone in the game. The person who walks into your room could be a young child.
If groups of players collide while trying to hunt, quest, or socialize in an area, it would be wise for the players to solve the difficulty themselves in an adult manner. If Terris Staff is called in because no compromise can be reached among players, Terris Staff will review the situation, then mandate a compromise that is binding on all parties. Failure to follow the mandated solution might be considered disruptive behavior.
Impersonating another player or Terris Staff member is not tolerated. Creating a character name in order to demean another person is not tolerated.
Threatening another player that a Terris Staff member will retaliate or show favoritism on your behalf is not tolerated.
Terris Staff have the right to impose other rules not specifically stated here. Please obey the Terris Staff if you are asked to cease certain actions.
Terris requires its players to adhere to ALL conditions and terms of service put forth in both the game and message boards.
If at any time you have a question regarding Terris policy or wish to report a policy violation, use the "WISH " command in the game or send an email to manager@legendsofterris.com.
