Rules

The rules of LOA are to be followed by everyone, they are in place to keep the server from crashing and for everyone to enjoy their time at LOA. Do not question a DM if they are telling you not to do something, it's probably for a reason. Failure to follow the rules will be taken personally by the admin of LOA and punishment will shortly follow (most of the time without warning). Remember, ignorance is not an excuse for stupidity.

Currently our rules are as follows:

The Golden Rules:

All spawns must be killed. If you spawn a creature, you MUST kill it. If you find an area to be too difficult, and your character dies, thus leaving spawns, use the shout channel to request assistance clearing them. This is a personal pet peeve which is why it is rule number 1, follow this rule and there will be no trouble.
You are able to herd mobs; however, be respectful of others. If people are complaining about lag, don't do it.

Harrassment:

There will be zero tolerance for harrassment in LOA.
Examples of Harrassment are:

Repeated Pickpocket attempts by a single person or entity that goes beyond normality.
Repeated Player killing of someone by a single person or entity that goes beyond normality.
Excessive PMs or Emails, or other forms of communication both in and out of game that are negative in nature and cause discomfort for the recieving party.

The Staff of LOA must be informed of harrassment with proof. Untampered screenshots, emails, PMs, etc. Staff will not act without it.
If someone is found to be harrassing a player, there will be an unhappy and unpleasent stay in LOA for them.
Do not do it.

Player vs. Player (PvP) Rules and Pick Pocket (PP) rules:

No character can PK (Player Kill) a character with a rank below moderate.
If you get killed by a player lower than you, don't complain - learn to make better builds.
You can Pick Pocket a player anywhere allowed by PVP settings. As with PVP, the target must be rated moderate or higher. No complaining if you get stuff stolen, save good items and gold on a mule PC, or in the bank.

RP Rules:

Currently no RP rules are in effect. Role Playing is accepted on Legends of Arcadia, but it is not a requirement. Eventually, if the player base wishes, we may begin enforcing various RP rules.

General Good Behavior and knowledge list:

Do not use the shout channel to bad mouth the Admin, sever, other players or to complain. Do not use vulgar words in shout at any time for any reason.
The shout channel is also not a place for private conversation, keep it in party or tells please.
Logging out and back in to avoid death penalties will not be tolerated, take your licks, respawn and try again.
