Gamemasters Rules

[lapta]

Gamesmaster Rules.
1. No abuse what so ever to players, or over global shouts.
2. No recalling players to yourself unless you are on a town map and the player is on a town map. If a player is trapped due to GT bug, then use the ?ting? command.
3. You may only chat ban a character for up to 10 minutes.
4. You may only chat ban a person 3 times within any one hour period, if you feel you have to chat ban them any further, then i would suggest you ban them instead.
5. You must post all players you have banned, and there user ID, on the forums, under the staff section.
6. You must never give out, user ID?s, passwords, IP address, levels or any other information related to a player. This includes telling players about who picked up there death drop. This also includes screen shots that have been sent in to you.
7. You must never give players items that you have made using the @make command unless it is for an event. Approved event items can be found below.
8. If someone drops an item in game, then it is not your job to try and get that item back from them, wether it still be on the floor somewhere, or wether it be in someone?s bag or storage. If the person has dropped an item due to a known bug then please talk to Lapta.
9. If you are doing an event please do an in game shout and a forum post at least 30 minutes before hand to give people a chance to get ready, finish hunts etc.
10. When doing any event please clearly state all rules before hand. This way there is no confusion over right and wrong. Please try not to change the rules half way through an event. The main problem during an event is people being PK?ed and it?s ok because the GM (that could be you) has said it?s ok to PK now. This is unfair on everybody. What rules and punishments you set down it up to you.
11. You may only do one event a day MAXIUM. Events must cater for all players online, so spawning 5 bosses in a cave is fine as long as you spawn 5 bosses for low level characters.
12. You must never, ever, spawn an Evil Mir.
13. You must never spawn bosses on town maps, as people will be able to lure the mobs to the guard which is unfair on other players.
14. You must never spawn any sort of mob in a town building. This does not including contest rooms.
15. Never allow ANYONE to access your GM account. If you think your account has been compromised in any way, you must immediately inform the entire GM team ASAP and send Lapta an E-mail.
16. Upon connection, immediately activate the @gamemaster command and ensure that you are in ?peaceful? mode. (To avoid being killed or killing players)
17. Prior to logging off the game, ensure that you teleport to the GM map "@regoto q001" and clear your bag "@clearbag".
18. ? Do not spawn exp giving and/or drop bearing Mobs for individual Players this is favouritism and will never be tolerated.
19. ? Do not interfere with Sabuk Wall.
20. Never reveal Mob Spawn Locations or Times.
21. Never reveal Mob Drop Table Contents.
22. Do not reveal the Location of Players, NPC?s or Mobs.
23. Do not directly reveal ?Quest? information.
24. Do not give out any "Quest" items. This includes Events, so none at all, ever!
25. Do not Buy or Sell items to Players
26. Do not place ?rare? Items in Shops
27. Do not interfere with ?Legal? Game Play (PK is not illegal, but Harassment/Grief Play is!)
28. If you create a 2nd or 3rd Char, you MUST publish its name in the Staff section of the forum. You must also have the characters name put onto the GM Guild page as well.
29. Do not reset player PK points. (players who are griefed are an exception, and so are PK events like the last one Jamie did).
30. Never make any Adjustments to a Player?s Character.
31. Never make any Adjustments to a Players Inventory or Storage.
32. Never Group with and Hunt with Players. Never Kill Mobs for Players
33. GameMasters, Under no circumstances are they to have any storage chars or storage accounts.
34. WARNING ? DO NOT MASS MAKE any items at all including bene oils - This lags the server DB out.
35. Under no circumstances shall a GM USE the TrustMerchant NPC's when it comes to - Selling or buying items. You may, however, browse the list to see any problems if a bug is reported. But in the end only Lapta should be dealing with the TM NPC.

i agree, forum mod rules would be great and perhaps that would stop a certain individual getting on his high horse everytime someone posts a thread asking a reasonable question.

The ONLY time a game master ever needs to group with you, is if there is an event and someone is standing on your drop and the GameMaster can pick up your drop because you've got the exp. there is no need elsewise to have a GM group with you, Only other thing I can think of is if Lapta has to come in game to sort some stuff and he'll group with other gm's or players to be able to seperate the spam from the real conversations.

Let me stop you right there, before you get your asses kicked by the rest of the MOD team.

General Rules were posted before, Jamie is revising them and will have it posted, if a MOD breaks the rules they have to face the dreaded LONE or lapta

As a personal note I try and avoid posting on subjects all together, and let the players have at it! Abuse, Directly or indirectly is not welcomed etc.. Multiple posts etc..

i would agree but can ya trace a deleted post as this has happened also. it is a hard job to be a mod and should not be taken ligthly. as hard as it is to do but personal oppions and belifes should not be used when trying to be fair and just.
as to get back on subject of this post , them GM rules are good ones. well done on thinking them up and taking the time in posting to us all.
