Rules - MU REALM

Everyone who plays on MU REALM agrees to these rules. Read them once: not knowing a rule does not change what happens when it is broken.

Server regulations

• All registered users of MU REALM must agree with every point of these rules. Disagreeing with even one of them means you may not use this website or play on the server.
• All accounts, characters, in-game items and actions in the game are the property of the server.
• Buying or selling anything for real money, or for virtual money that stands for real money, is prohibited, and so is selling or trading characters or accounts for real money. Punishment: a warning, or an immediate block of all accounts of the seller and the buyer.
• Buying valuable items from other players is at your own risk. The administration stands behind only what you get from the server itself: VIP and the services on this site, and the in-game Cash Shop.
• False testimony and slander are not tolerated. Punishment: a reprimand, or an immediate block of the main accounts.
• Report rule breaking and rule breakers to the administration on our Discord.

The decision of the server administration is final.

3. Use of server errors

To make the game run better you may remove some or all animations, objects, effects or items from the client files. You may not change them to gain an advantage in battle, and you may not change interface elements in a way that gives one. Better performance is not an advantage in battle.This includes using Alt+F4 or switching characters for gain (most often to avoid being killed, or to avoid a long walk back after dying), and walking through characters or into closed places on a Horn of Uniria. A ban applies if the account disconnected and came back online within 10 minutes.It also includes lagging a character, on purpose or not, into taking no damage. A ban applies when a video shows damage not reaching the character while the player ignores messages to re-enter the game for 1 minute.A report under this rule needs a video that clearly shows the cheat or the switch. Screenshots are not accepted. Punishment: Account block from 7 days to permanent.
