When you account share, you take all responsibility of what may happen to that account.

This may include, but is not limited to: Creating a public video showcasing how to work the bug/glitch/exploit* Publicly releasing how the bug/glitch/exploit with the intentions of getting more to do it Unauthorized reverse engineering the client or client modification to find additional glitches or advantages Usage of macros or botting programs (built in keyboard macros included) Any usage of a 3rd party program not specifically given out by CODE: Closers or provided on our [Homepage] or [Forums] *Anything that allows you to step away from your computer and continue to play the game is not allowed or tolerated. If you're found to be botting, the ban is permanent and cannot be appealed. *The only exception to the "creating a video" clause would be a private video to show the staff how the glitch/bug/exploit works and how to reproduce it. Reproducing the bug/glitch/exploit to show the staff how it works will not get you banned. Further abuse beyond showing how it's reproduced will result in a ban or further actions taken against you. LOG_K: INAPPROPRIATE NAMES OR CREW NAMES Names should follow all listed rules in [LOG_A], [LOG_D], [LOG_H]. Any name that is deemed to be inappropriate by staff will be asked to change or will be force changed by staff on a maintenance day. Any account that continues to create inappropriate game names will have a ban placed on their account. If your character's name is force name changed, we will not provide the Name Change ticket to change it again.

Harpy Posted July 29, 2021 Author Share Posted July 29, 2021 Log A's section has been rephrased to clarify that the rules in that section only apply to in-game and our official Discord server. While we want every Agent to have a pleasant and fun time in our server, please understand that we cannot moderate certain aspects such as Discord private messages or private Discord servers. If someone is giving you an unpleasant time via Discord private messages or private Discord servers, we suggest to block and ignore them or to report it to the owner and/or moderators of the private Discord server. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
