: The use of platforms such as D2JSP, Tradia and similar is considered third party trading platforms, therefore they are not allowed and will result in a loss of your account permanently.

: Hostiling players for the sake of spooking them will also be considered griefing.

: Farming in a progression game you didn't create after being asked to leave will also be considered griefing.

If the game is specifically made for duelling, players are considered consensual upon joining.
