Help: Cheating
Cheating
========
Any players caught cheating may have their character and/or equipment
et cetera permanently removed by the administration. Other kinds of
punishments are possible as well.
Partying, sharing pcity rooms or even otherwise interacting with players
that cheat may bring you under suspicion as well.
Willingly collaborating with cheaters can result in you and your property
to become collateral damage. It is better to report and avoid cheaters if
you are aware of their actions.
In contrast, you can be awarded for catching and reporting people that
cheat. This kind of awarding will be done quietly, so that you are in
no danger of retribution.
What exactly is cheating is generally defined by archwizards - if in doubt,
refer to 'help archwizards are always right'. A non-exhaustive list of
punishable activity examples follows:
- Taking advantage of a monster that stops fighting back.
- Using items / abilities that cause damage or start fights in
no-combat rooms (for example Arelium church altar room).
- Knowingly and/or continuously abusing, instead of reporting, bugs
that give some kind of advantage to the player. Examples of such
bugs include, but are not limited to, are:
* Bugs that cause monsters to lose (part) of their battle abilities.
* Infinite or "free" money / eq / experience.
- Purposefully crashing the game, causing excessive lag, or other
such acts that cause harm to the game.
- Roboting (using triggers that allow your character to perform
actions while you are not present, see 'help robot')
- Using "meta-game" features to force other players to do actions,
such as abusing their _legal_ triggers.
- Playing multiple characters (unregistered secondaries).
