Terms Of Service (322 views)

Welcome to MythologyMS. By registering an account in-game or on the forum, you agree to the information found within this thread. A few notes to begin:

The terms listed within are subject to change without notice, major changes may be announced but there is no guarantee. It is your responsibility to check this thread frequently for updates. Big changes may be posted, but it is your responsibility to check the ToS to keep yourself updated.

Ban durations serve as a guideline for how long a person may generally be banned for breaking that specific rule, they are not a guarantee that you will be banned for that duration. It is ultimately up to the moderator who bans you as to how long you are banned for. No two moderators are the same. Tread carefully.

Offenses will be broken down into 'major' and 'minor' game disruptions. More information below.
In-Game Rules

The following rules/terms will be broken down in to two sections, 'major' and 'minor' game disruptions. 'Major' game disruptions will always result in a permanent ban on the first offense. 'Minor' game disruptions will vary depending on the situation.


Major Game Disruptions

[Hacking]

Hacking is defined as any attempt to alter the Global MapleStory files or the MythologyMS client. MythologyMS features an auto-ban system.


[Real World Trade / Real Money Trade]

Any attempts to sell/purchase your MythologyMS items or currency for real currency or possessions, or currency or items in other games is strictly forbidden.

[Bug Abuse & Exploitation]

All bugs should be reported here. Any major bugs or exploits should be reported privately to a staff member immediately. Any attempts to abuse or take advantage of a bug or exploit are strictly forbidden.


[Multi-clienting]

This refers to a user running more than one MythologyMS client on one computer. This is strictly forbidden and all accounts connected to the player will be permanently banned.

Minor Game Disruptions

[Botting]

We have no reliable way to test if you are botting. However, it is up to the Game Master's choice to warn. If one finds that a judgment was biased, please report immediately.

["Kill-Stealing"]

DO NOT kill-steal (KS). This may lead to a warning, depending on the severity of the kill-stealing.


[Harassment / Verbal Abuse ; Racism]

Harassment is by nature a very subjective term. To keep it simple, be nice to your fellow players. If one goes "too far," you will receive a warning, depending on the severity.


[Impersonation]

Any attempts to impersonate a staff member or another player are forbidden. Bans and/or warnings will depend on the severity of the case.


[Advertising]

Discussion of other MapleStory private servers, 'Black Markets' (i.e. RMT websites), websites that advertise hacks or bots for games in general, etc. is strictly forbidden. Advertising such things over megaphones will, generally, be a permanent ban.

[Account sharing]

Sharing accounts is not allowed at all. If you lose items or lose access to your account due to sharing your information, you will not be compensated. Bans/warnings will vary based on the situation.

[Multiple accounts]

Multiple accounts are not allowed. The rule is one account per person, per computer. You are not allowed to play on a second account if you are banned, under any circumstances. If you are found on a second account, you will be permanently banned.

[Spamming]

Please do not spam, whether this is in forums, smega, etc., as it is highly annoying and never beneficial to anyone in any circumstance.

​ Forum Disruptions

The following rules apply specifically to the forum. All of the rules above apply to the forum as well.

Explicit content, i.e. nudity, drugs, violence, hateful content, etc. will be deleted.

Please post in the correct sections. Posts may be moved otherwise.

Please keep your signature reasonable.

Please do not create posts with the sole purpose to flame or insult a user.

Stay on topic; off topic posts will be deleted, and you may be infracted.

Do not smega your service sales or links to your thread on the forums, that is not what the megaphone system is intended for.

Bans and infractions are up to the moderator involved, any suspicion (as with in-game) of unfairness or special treatment should be reported.

Ban Appeal Policy​
 
For each ban you are allowed one chance at appeal.

    You can appeal here. 

    You can find the ban appeal format here.

Bans that do not follow this format will be denied, however you may choose to remake it following the correct format. An appeal may be denied for any reason, or for no reason at all. If you feel your ban was unjust after you've appealed and received a response, please contact a staff member privately. Do not expect an immediate reply, or at all. Spamming inboxes of staff members is a bad idea.
Compensation Policy​

You are responsible for your account information. Sharing your information is strictly forbidden. If you share your information and lose access to your account or items because of it, you will not be compensated. All credit purchases are final, refunds will not be issued.

If you share your account information you will not be compensated if you lose your items.

If you are 'hacked', and can prove it, we will attempt to recover your items.

If you lose your items because of a bug, we usually will not compensate.
Refund Policy (Donations)​

You are not entitled to a “refund” because you completed a donation out of courtesy.

All credits obtained via donations are final.

Please note that we have the right to suspend our game service at any time.

We take fraud seriously. Do not try to be sneaky, because we will catch you.

[Note]: Just because a moderator chooses to be lenient with one person does not mean they have to choose to be lenient with you. Favoritism is another topic, any suspicion of favoritism should be reported immediately.

Ignorance of the information provided here will never serve as an excuse.
