Unreal Plains is an online game which is intended to be a fun place for everybody involved. The accounts are not real, nor is the in-game money or the items. The only thing real in Unreal Plains are the people playing it. Remember that! By using this website, you agree not to insult, bully or personal attack anybody. The rules listed below are binding to all players, but some obvious rules may not be listed. In general, if you think that something might be illegal, because you wouldn't do it with or to people you meet in real life, it probably is.
Although Unreal Plains is not responsible for any action, opinion or content a player of Unreal Plains
performs in the game, or outside the game, we do not tolerate any form of discrimination against people based on gender,
skin color, sexual preference, nationality, religion or personal beliefs. This is strictly prohibited. Anyone breaking this rule
can and will be punished.
Any player found to be actively discriminating against another player or member of society in any way, will have their
accounts terminated and further action may be taken. This rule applies, but is not limited to, character name, message
board posts and chat rooms.
[top]
- Your account is yours, and yours alone. Keep your login details secret. You are responsible for everything done with your account. If you have reason to believe you are hacked, contact an admin as soon as possible to have your account suspended. Even in the case of a hack, you remain responsible for your account.
- Each player can have only one account. If you are found to have more accounts (multis) your main account may be suspended or deleted, and the others will be deleted.
- Accountsharing is not permitted. If you are found to be sharing an account, your account will be suspended.
- It is not allowed to let someone else use your account in case of prolonged absence ("account sitting").
- Anyone found to be involved in accountsharing or accountsitting will have his account suspended or deleted.
- No transactions may be done between accounts using the same IP. This includes the transfer of items, game money or attacks. This also includes transactions using middle men (another party on a different IP). If you are found to be making transactions between two or more accounts with the same IP (with or without the use of a middle man) you, and any accomplices, will be treated as multi's.
- Any transactions involving groups of players, using the same IP will be treated as multi's.
- All accounts are tied to the accountholder. It is not allowed to sell your account, nor is it allowed to buy an account. Any account found to have been sold, or transfered to another individual, will be deleted.

- Privacy - Anyone found to be publishing any personal information about a player, be it about location, gender, age, race, or anything else, will be punished. This rule does not apply for information which is published with the players approval. Breaking the privacy rule may lead to your account being deleted.
- Player harassment - It is never allowed to harass another player. However, some things are allowed (and encouraged) as part of the game, such as attacking other players, or wars. Clearly, players will be posting in the forums about such wars. If a player attacks another player, or wars him/her, this is a normal part of gameplay. Also, posts in which you bluff, or "smacktalk" are considered a normal part of the game. However, continued targeting of a particular person may constitute harassment. In all harassment cases, staff will determine whether or not the acts constitute harassment. Also, punishment will be decided upon by staff. There is a minimum penalty to harassment of a 7 day suspension of your account. Stronger penalties may be given if considered appropriate.
- Staff harassment - Unreal Plains staff members work hard to provide you with a fun game experience. As such, they deserve your respect. Under no condition will you attack a member of staff personally.
- Begging is not allowed. Everybody had to work to get what he has. Why should it be different for you? If you are found begging, you may receive a mail- or forum ban of at least 3 days.
[top]
- All players agree not to cheat in any way.
- If you are found cheating, all the gains you made from it will be deleted.
- Also, cheaters will be punished based on the severity of the offence. Punishment may include fines (payable in Unreal Plains assets, which will be automatically credited), the reduction of stats or other alterations in your account, suspension of your account or deletion.
- The use of software to assist in the game is strictly prohibited ("Bots"). All actions in the game must be performed by the player personally, without use of any (automated) system. Accounts involved in the use of such software will be suspended.
- Bugs - If you find a bug, loopholes, security flaws, or any inconsistencies in the game, you should use the bug report function to report the bug to admins. However, if you suspect the bug can be abused to gain an advantage in the game, you may report this via a private in-game message to one or more of the system operators and/or admins. You also are not allowed to abuse the bug yourself.
- Staged fights are not allowed. Staged fights are fights where you pay another player to attack you and lose.
[top]
- Flooding and spamming - No flooding and/or spamming the message boards or personal ingame messages. Violation of this rule will lead to a forum- or mail ban of at least 3 days, and maximal 45 days.
- Swearing - We don't mind swearing, but if it's directed at someone or a small group of people and they are offended by it an apology is only appropriate.

Player profiles, order descriptions etc.

- Staff members are obliged to perform their tasks to the best of their capabilities.
- Staff is obliged to communicate in a respectful manner with players and other staff.
- No staff shall be involved in a case in which he may have a personal interest. A staff member who suspects that such an interest may be involved, or who feels that the impression may arise that such an interest is involved, will refer the case to another member of staff.
- Staff members will hear both sides of the story. However, in some cases, it may be necessary to respond without having all the facts, such as when the defendant is not available for investigation, or does not cooperate. There may be other situations where swift response is necessary. In such cases, the defendant is not entitled to compensation.
- All players who have been punished have the right to appeal. If you wish to, you can file an appeal to a higher ranked member of staff. In your appeal, provide all relevant information and be respectful.
- Lower staff members may also play the game. These staff members must separate their "staff-identity" from their player identity.
- No member of staff will use his powers to further himself in the game. Nor shall any member of staff abuse his powers in any other way. Players can report a member of staff. Staff reports will be dealt with by system operator(s).

- Any player found to have broken a rule or policy will have the gains from his offense removed. Additionally, offenders will be punished. Punishments can include, but are not limited to: warnings, fines (in game-items or game-currency), which will be taken immediately, account suspensions, deletion of the account, or the attachment of special conditions to the continued use of this website. Appeals do not interfere with the validity of the penalty given.
- Repeated offenders will be punished stronger than first offenders.

Hacking is not allowed. If an account is hacked, it will be returned to its rightfull owner, provided the player can prove his identity. However, you remain responsible for anything done through your account. So any items or money that you lose, are lost. Once again: treat your log-in details carefully.

Unreal Plains does not supply any warranty at any time. Lost items due to server problems, faulty programming or any other technical reason, are not guaranteed to be returned. We also do not guarantee an undisturbed performance.

Music and video players are allowed in, including but not limited to, profiles and order descriptions, however these players are not allowed to begin playing automatically. Any such players may even result in the deletion of your whole profile and/or order description et cetera.
If you do not have the knowledge to stop the player from auto playing, you may ask a staff member to help you and he/she will try to help you with it. Under no circumstance are you allowed to keep a player that begins to play automatically.
