In-Game Rules

(Admin will enforce at their discretion) Latest Rules revisions can be found on the SoMX Discord Server.

1. Do not harass other players (such as personal 'out of character' threats). KSing in white is classed as harassment. Harassment is a three strikes and your out. Admin's will check the evidence before taking action. Each threat will count as one strike.

2. Do not ask the admins/mappers to help you out by spawning items or warping you.
Any Spawned items will be confiscated and the accounts involved will receive a 1 week ban. If it occurs again the accounts risk permanent ban.

3. Do not spam in any way (this constitutes repeatedly speaking to fill up the chat box and annoying others)
Spamming will loose you your voice on the first occasion for 24 hours if the spamming continues you will be permanently voiced. Avoiding this voicing will risk your account being banned.

4. Treat other players with respect and act in a civilized manner, if you are looted remember that swearing your head off at him won't bring him any closer to returning your items.

5. Do not scam others, try to play honestly. If you scam in the trade building you will be imprisoned until you return the items. Note: with the new /trade system in SoM X we now will no longer do anything about scams if you are foolish enough to try to trade outside of the trade building and without using the /trade command.

6. Try to use your imagination when you are naming characters and keep it reasonably rpgish. Meaning names like "Legeia" are ok while "U R All Gay" and "1337 H4X0RS" aren't. Also please refrain from making names using capital letters for any characters other than the first in each word.

7. It is illegal to have a key to a clan house if you are not a member. If you are an ally, that's fine, but you'll have to have a member let you into the house when needed. It is also illegal to have a key to a players house if that player doesn't want you to have it, and it must be handed over to an admin or that player.

8. Watch the language and remember that there are children playing or watching people play this game and we want to keep a good reputation. There is currently a basic language filter built into the game, but there are obvious ways around it which do nothing but show us you are intent to break the rules so use common sense.

9. There are no name changes. When creating a character be sure to use a name you will like for your entire "life" as that character because it's permanent.

a) DO NOT ADVIRTISE OTHER ONLINE GAMES
b) Do not globally broadcast urls unless they are SoM-related, keep it in private chat
Any players who make it their only purpose in the game to promote another game will be banned.

11. With the exception of clan mule characters, you are only allowed to have one account logged in at a time. Also, this 2nd account is only to be logged on for the purpose of transferring items and only long enough to complete the transfer. The 2nd account will NOT be used to help your other character in any other way.

12. Do not imitate admins, such as using obvious variations of an admins name for new characters or "name raping" them.
The account related to the "name raping" will be banned.

13. Do not share accounts, only one person may use an account or it will be deleted. This includes the selling/giving/trading of accounts, only the creator of an account may own/use it at any time.

14. The game staff are not responsable for what happens on your computer, so make sure no friends or family misbehave and are banned on it or you will be unable to play as well!

15. You must be in direct control of your character at all times, if you are found sitting in one spot constantly attacking and do not respond when spoken to you will be punished for AFK training. Punishment for AFK training on first offense is at minimum a 2-6 day timed ban (or longer if decided by the punishing administrators). Repeat offenses will be treated as a permanent ban.

16. No real money transactions are to be made through SoM or having anything to do with any aspect of SoM. This includes selling items for real cash, which is only allowed by the game owners on the official website in rare situations. If a player is caught doing this their inventory will be confiscated and they may be banned in some cases.

17. Custom Weapons: Under the current system, if a custom weapon is looted, the owner must buy it back for 10 mil. If that player cannot afford it, an administrator will buy it from the looter for the same price until the owner can afford it again. The looter is not allowed to keep it.

18. Do not try to manipulate the game or any aspects of the game in any way outside of the game's construct and limits.

19. Do not trade exp (allow yourself to be killed by another player many times in a row on a red map). This may seem like a stupid rule but when it was allowed everyone was doing it and the chat screen was constantly spammed with red pk messages at all times. So just don't do it.

20. Do not disrespect the authority of the game administration.

21. No recruiting staff or players for any other games in the SoM community. (1st offense: 1 month ban, 2nd offense: permanent ban)

22. Use of 3rd party programs such as auto clickers, bots or macros are not permitted at all. First occasion used your character will be kicked stating why. Second occassion gets you a 1 week ban. 3rd occassion is 1 year ban.
