Game Law
Game crime & punishment:
Following is a list of violations of game law, and the resulting
punishments. If the offending player holds multiple accounts, all
accounts may be subjected to the same punishment. (That is to say the
offender is a person behind any given number of accounts, not just a
particular account) Some offenses may result in temporary suspension of
posting privileges (the Tavern, forums, clan chat, and other forms of
InGame communication), the communication ban terms are reserved for
repeat offenders. Game staff reserve the right to interpret these laws
in certain situations to maintain the spirit of said laws.
Flooding:
Intentionally spamming or flooding of message boards, chat rooms, or
other communication venues will result in a 2 day communication ban.
Fame and Follower Links:
Fame and Follower links are not allowed to be placed anywhere on the
site.
The Fame link is used to bring others to the site in hopes they
will
like what is seen and register to become a member
The Followers link is used when someone brings another to the
site then
upon registering they do so under the one that showed them the game, in
which turn the first party will receive credit for the new member.
Links found posted on the site will be edited promptly, if the offence
continues the Mark of Cowardice will be applied for 10 days.
Player harassment:
As a side note, this is a difficult topic to be concise about. The
Internet is such that public "flame wars" are bound to happen. It is
therefore up to game staff to determine when a communication crosses
the line into abusive. This is not to say everyone must play nice, this
is a combat game after all where you can choose to be InGame Good or
Evil. The harassment law only applies to continued and targeted
harassment of a particular person, not the ocassional insult. The
following language assumes a staff member has deemed the interaction as
continued harassment. Public harassment of fellow players will result
in a 10 day communication ban. In general, private communications are
just that, private, and not subject to decency or harassment laws.
Players are encouraged to use the provided privacy tools to stop
harassment. With that said, persons who attempt to undermine the
privacy tools will also get a 10 day communication ban.
Staff harassment/slander (public locations):
Any complaints against staff will be presented in a clear, courteous
manner, bereft of profanity and overflowing in wit and charm.
Slanderous/personal attacks/profane communications against staff
members will not be tolerated, and will result in the offending remarks
removed, and a 2 day communication ban.
Scripts/Continual Connections:
Programs designed to automate actions or continually collect
information on the game are not permitted. Any piece of software, be it
a custom-made "script" or a simple "refresher" that continually targets
a section of the game without human interaction or regard to the
content displayed is outright banned. In short, every click sent to the
game servers must come from a live person, not an automated system.
Anyone found using such a system will have their account frozen.
Unauthorized access of another account/Account sharing/ownership:
Logging in to, or using another person's account without express
permission will result in deletion of any/all of the offender's
accounts. To clarify the account sharing issue - you cannot share an
account with another person. You may "babysit" someone's account, but
you may not use another person's account as your own for a prolonged
period of time. This rule is mainly in place to deal with situations
where two people claim ownership over an account.
Game bug abuse:
Depending on severity, game bug abuse can result in immediate account
deletion without prior notification. Bugs, loopholes, security flaws,
or any inconsistencies in the game should be immediately reported to
staff or filed in a Feedback / Bug Report form.
Clarifications
Players have had questions concerning clarification of certain laws,
restrictions, and scenarios, here are the answers:
Community Failure:
Any activity that undermines the game community, presents a general
nuisance to the community, or breaks the writ or spirit of any game law
is forbidden. There is no set punishment for these actions, and it is
up to the discretion of game staff to determine the penalty, dependent
on the severity of the infraction.
Culpability:
The account owner is responsible for their account(s) at all times.
This means if your friends/family/pet cat log into your account and
cause trouble, you will be held responsible. Keep your username and
password secure, as you would for any other site.
Repeat offenders:
Harsher punishments/deletions may occur for repeat offenders without
any prior notification.
Bad trades/"ripping":
Unless the failure is a result of a confirmed programming error,
items lost by players to bad trades will not be returned. Buyer beware.
Lost accounts due to unauthorized access/"hacking":
Accounts will be returned to the proper owner provided they can confirm
their identity. No refund of game items or currency will occur. Players
who continually "lose" their account will stop having it returned.
Player-Staff interaction:
Both players and staff are expected to coexist in a polite and
respectful environment. This applies to professional interaction only,
as there are instances when the staff member is acting in the capacity
of a player, and not an administrator. This is not to say a staff
member may become abusive and claim they were acting in a player
capacity, but it does mean a staff member need not be stoic at all
times. They're volunteers, and need to relax/get into arguments too.
This should never be the case in professional settings (i.e. Feedback /
Customer Service requests).
Staff obligations to players:
Staff are obligated to respond to, and, if possible, assist any
requests made on the Customer Service board. This is the only official
conduit between players and staff, and all requests should be made
through it. Players can expect a reply to their queries within 2
business days. (Please note requests should not be made to upper game
management directly through the CS board, you're not going to get
"better help" by going around the admins.) |

| pRPG Supports Firefox and Chrome |
PhantasyRPG runs best on the Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox Browsers!
From gameplay to browsing the chatrooms and many things to see in PhantasyRPG, the most successful route to take is to use either the Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome browsers.
Gameplay is more functional and smooth, more visual effects are applied and accessible, and overall, the speed seems to be much faster with these browsers.
Currently, the game is accesible in Internet Explorer, but there are compatibility issues with some options in the game with IE7 and earlier versions. IE8 seems to be quite smooth, but if any issues arise with the layouts and such, IE8 has a "Compatibility Mode" button just next to the address bar within.
If you are an Internet Explorer user, we recommend downloading and installing the latest version, being IE8, or try one of the alternatives, being Firefox or Chrome, if you have any issues viewing the game.
Click here to download the Mozilla Firefox Browser ----> Mozilla Firefox
Click here to download the Google Chrome Browser ---> Google Chrome
Upgrade to the latest version of Internet Explorer ---> Internet Explorer 8
