ACCESS TIME. Profanity/vulgarity: Account Locked for at least 24 hours.

Macros/Hacks:
[1] First offense of suspected macro use, your account will be locked for at least 1 business day. A rollback of experience points will be exercised. This will include skill points being removed as well. An email will be sent to the player requesting an explanation and/or reassurances that the macro has been removed and that it will not be used again. The account will be unlocked at the end of the time limit.

[2] Second offense of suspected macro use, your account will be locked for at least 3 business days. A larger rollback of experience and skill points will take place along with items being removed.

The character will remain locked for an additional week with a major significant loss of experience/skill points and items will be removed from all characters. Again an email will be sent to the player requesting an explanation and/or reassurances that the macro has been removed and will not be used again. At this time the account and character will be unlocked at the end of the time limit.

[5] I reserve the right to change these in the future.

[13] You will not upload or transmit on the AWTI-Games Online Service, or through the AWTI-Games Online Web Site or bulletin board, any copyrighted content that you do not own all rights to, unless you have the express written permission of the author or copyright holder.

[14] You will not attempt to interfere with, hack into, or decipher any transmissions to or from the servers running the AWTI-Games Online Service.

[15] You will not exploit any bug in the AWTI-Games Online product or the AWTI-Games Online Service to gain unfair advantage in the game and you will not communicate the existence of any such bug (either directly or through public posting) to any other user of the AWTI-Games Online Service.

[18] You will not do anything else that interferes with the ability of other AWTI-Games Online users to enjoy playing the game in accordance with its rules, or that increases the expense or difficulty of AWTI-Games in maintaining the AWTI-Games Online Service for the enjoyment of all its users.

[19] You may not defraud other players.
Fraud is defined as falsely representing one's intentions to make a gain at another's expense. Examples of this activity include, but are not limited to, using deception to deprive another player of items, slandering another player or impersonating them with the intention of causing harm to that player's reputation, or falsely representing one's identity in order to gain access to another player's account or account information.
Fraud in all transactions between players may result in disciplinary action when confirmed by an AWTI-Games representative.

[20] We reserve the right to change offensive Character and Guild names or profiles without prior notification of the account holder.

[21] Sharing accounts - If an infraction of any rule occurs the account is still liable for any punishment due. "It was my brother...", or friend, or the family parrot does not matter.

[22] "It was a joke..." - is not viable as an excuse. Saying or doing anything that is normally punishable under our rules is still punishable despite the fact that you and the other person involved may have thought it all humorous. No one else is in on the joke so it is taken seriously and dealt with in accordance with the other rules listed here.

Common Curtesy Rules:
[1] Obsessive PK - If a user asks you to "STOP PK" after PvP action has taken place you must respect their choice. However, if the user states "STOP PK" then continues to attack you then the obsessive PK rule is omitted until the next round of action.

[2] Kill Stealing - If a user/party is camping an individual monster you must respect that the camp/monster is taken (excluding free for all events). You may ask to join the user/party, but if denied and asked to leave the area you must respect their choice.

[3] Ninja Looting - If a party has successfully killed an npc and character(s) outside the party loot the equipment without primary party's approval the items will be taken from the character (excluding free for all events). The character(s) responsible for Ninja looting will receive an experience point decrease.

[4] I reserve the right to change these in the future.
