Acceptable Use Policy
-
The use of profanity is not permitted. Any use of profanity or 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 can be 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 another player, please 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, Cosrin 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 Cosrin Staff member.
-
Cosrin allows multiple characters to be created for a given
screen name. We encourage players to explore the different character
types available in Cosrin 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.
Running two characters in-game simultaneously will always result in a suspension
of both characters.
-
Cosrin is a land filled with quests and mysteries. The major enjoyment in
Cosrin is the discovery of new areas and the solving of quests. Thus
we ask that players not give out answers to quests or brainteasers. Clues
and hints are fine, but supplying answers is prohibited. Persons revealing
quest solutions will be heavily penalized. (See HELP QUESTING)
-
Disruptive behavior that may affect others enjoyment of Cosrin will not be
tolerated. Disruptive behavior may include, but is not limited to,
scrolling in shouts, chats, says, tells, wails, emotes, wishes and includes
out-of-character shouts over the regular shout channel. Disruptive behavior
might also include but not be limited to roleplay that is antisocial rather
than appropriately and enjoyably "dark" in a fantasy environment. Such behavior
may result in your character[s] loss of privilege to do so 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 Cosrin. No areas of Cosrin may
be considered private. Cosrin 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. Any such actions are liable to result in
the permanent suspension of your character. THIS INCLUDES ROLEPLAYING CHILDBIRTH
WITHIN THE GAME. There is no provision within Cosrin for characters below
the age of 18, nor will there be. All characters enter the world on their
18th birthday.
-
The use of any automated means whatsoever to control your character is
prohibited. The use of any script or macro that is not provided for in the
standard form of the official OGC game clients or engine is not allowed.
This includes circumventing any restrictions on the use of macros and other
features which come with the standard form of the official OGC game clients
or engine. Those caught violating this rule will be penalised with the loss
of that character.
-
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.
If Cosrin Staff is called in because no compromise can be reached among players,
Cosrin Staff will review the situation, then mandate a compromise that is
binding on all parties. Failure to follow the mandated compromise might be
considered disruptive behavior.
-
Impersonating another player or Cosrin Staff member is not tolerated.
-
Threatening or attempting to convince another player that a Cosrin Staff
member will retaliate or show favoritism on your behalf is not tolerated.
-
Cosrin Staff have the right to impose other rules not specifically stated
here. Please obey the Cosrin Staff if you are asked to cease certain actions.
-
Cosrin 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 Cosrin policy or wish to report
a policy violation, use the " WISH <message>" command in the game or
send an email to
admin@legendsofcosrin.com.
