Official Helbreath Nemesis Rules

1. IMPORTANT: Helbreath Nemesis does NOT support any kind of trade using external trade goods, including money or items from other games and/or Helbreath servers. We know we cannot prevent you from conducting any of such trades, but we want you to understand we also CANNOT RECOVER any losses endured during a trade with external trade goods. EVEN IF YOU HAVE PROOF IN THE FORM OF RECEIPTS OR PASSPORTS: these trades are at your own risk. We STRONGLY DISCOURAGE you to commit any of such trades!
2. IMPORTANT: Sharing accounts and/or items on Helbreath Nemesis is solely at your own risk. If you share your possessions, you also share the responsibilities involved. ANY action is that is commited through the use of your account and/or characters are accountable to the owner of the account. If the account is banned, you CANNOT recover any items - even if the ban was caused by another player. In case of an offense that requires Helbreath Nemesis to ban your IP address, we could also ban all IP addresses related to the account and/or characters. WE STRONGLY DISCOURAGE SHARING YOUR ACCOUNT AND/OR ITEMS!
3. Racially inappropriate language, cursing and any form of racial/sexual harassment will absolutely NOT be tolerated. If you are caught doing so (which you will if you do so) you will be permanently banned on both the forum and the game. We cannot urge you enough to refrain from making ANY racial/sexual comments towards other players or GameMasters. Some people can get really offended about this!
4. Laming EKs is not allowed and will result in your character being banned. We have developed an application that detects laming in a very reliable way. If you lame, wether it's alot or not, you will get caught!
5. No unattended macros are allowed. This means you are not allowed to use programs that level or skill train your character when you are not at your computer. First offense will result in a 1 week ban in-game, second offense will result in a permanent ban! You are allowed to shieldtrain in pits and go AFK, seeing as you are not using a macro to do this.
6. Please respect the GameMasters at ALL times. Cursing at or speaking in an inappropriate way to ANY of the GameMasters will result in a mute, length to be determned by the GameMaster and you will be sent to Bleeding Island for a peroid of time also decided by the GameMaster.
   
   If a GameMaster gives you instructions follow them without asking any questions. If you believe that the GameMaster is abusing his or her powers please report this in an appropriate way in the Abuse section of the forum.
   
   Discussing a GameMaster, cursing at or or speaking in an inappropriate way OUTSIDE the Abuse section will result in a permanent ban of your forum account and it may also possibly have the same effect on your in-game account.
   
   Only the player who has experienced the issue can make a topic in the abuse section! Please post by these rules or your account will be permanently banned.
7. If you are muted in game and return on another account to argue with the GM or spam about them in global, your main account will be held accountable, the time of the mute lengthened and you could be banned, depending on the severity of your behavior.
8. GameMasters are not paid. They do their responsibilities here for free and we value their time and expertise. We will not have them exposed to abuse from a player. Forum rules state, abusing any GameMaster in a post will result in the immediate suspension of your account.
9. No scamming, stealing accounts, passwords, items or anything game or forum related from ANY player or GameMaster is allowed. GameMasters will NEVER ask for your password. We advise you to refrain from sharing accounts as we do NOT replace ANY lost, stolen or scammed items!
10. Hacking and/or using exploits is not allowed. This also goes for the use of accelerators. Understand these do not add to your skill as a player but only to your stupidty. When you are discovered you will be banned immediately.
11. Do not edit the Helbreath Nemesis PAK files in any way that gives you an advantage over other players (i.e. red footsteps, grid, and so on). We will hold regular checks to see if you are using edited PAK files. If you fail to comply with our GameMasters you will be banned.
    
    To further clarify this rule we've made a list of PAK files that you can or cannot use:
    
    Edited Magics like Blizzard, Ews. - Not Allowed
    Monsters/Sade Small paks - Not Allowed
    Red Steps - Not Allowed
    Grey Paks - Not Allowed
    Invi Skin - Not Allowed
    No Roof - Not Allowed
    Invi Bag - Not Allowed
    Grids - Not Allowed
    
    Edited Skin [Not invisible one] - Allowed
    Edited Mouse - Allowed
    Big Items - Allowed
    
    No trees - Not decided about this yet, dont use.
12. Spamming and/or flooding in global, allied or whisper will result in a mute for a period of time. Please do not go to another account to argue about this. If you feel you are threated wrong post this in the Abuse section.
13. Cursing in white, in public places, global and allied chat will result in a mute. If this continues to be a problem with certain people, they will be suspended. Less talking, more playing. If you have a problem with another player, whisper that player.
14. No pit monopolising. This means you may not claim a training pit for yourself or a group of players to prevent others from leveling in that pit. You will be sent to Bleeding Island if you refuse to follow this rule.
15. Do NOT ask ANY GameMaster for items. Besides the fact that most GameMasters cannot even create any, they will NOT give you any. ANY means ANY. If you are sent to Bleeding Island, are muted or suspended consider it your own fault.
16. Do not duplicate items. Duplicating items will result in an immediate ban from our server. Depending on the severity of your offense you may also get IP banned.
17. Do not ask GameMasters to start Crusades, Heldenians or to change the raid time. Crusades and Heldenians are automated events and will automatically start and stop.
18. Do not impersonate a GameMaster. This also means you cannot create a character which contains [GM] in the nickname that implies you are a GameMaster. Violation of this rule will result in a ban of the account that contains the character.
    
    Each official GameMaster has a GM-Shield and can speak in the GameMaster chat. You are allowed, and encouraged, to ask for this proof before complying with the GameMaster.
