Players must agree to follow all Project RO enhanced rules. Failure to follow these rules may result in action taken against you or your account.


==== General Rules [EN] ====
* 1 person — 1 Master Account. With all the consequences.
* Account selling is prohibited. But you can buy a driving using Guest Access.
* RMT discussion is prohibited. We don't want to forbid you to manage your personal time and resources, but you must keep it out of the game. Please use only trusted exchanges. The administration doesn't act as a guarantor of your transactions.
* GRF edition (Grey World, RCX etc) is acceptable, except players and monsters sprites modifying and Box of Sunlight effect. But if you're planning to post screnshots, make public videos or stream the game, you have to use the clear GRF. The game must be presentable for the viewers.
* Staff at any time can require you to provide a screenshot or stream in Discord. Refusal or relog will be considered evidence of guilt. No offense.
* Staff will never ask your password or login information. If anyone who claims to be Staff does this report them immediately.
* Bypassing a block or other punishment will result in stricter measures.
* NSFW content is strictly prohibited both in game and in Discord.
* MvP monsters are FFA. The game is a competition, not a greenhouse for delicate plants. This rule doesn't apply to boss monsters like Mastering, Hunter Fly, Owl Dukes etc.
* Mob dropping is prohibited.
* Killstealing is prohibited. Use @noks to avoid it. Mobbers are allowed to safely lure any quantity of monsters if there are no other players on a map. Each monster lured over 5 can be attacked other players. Everyone needs to level and farm.
* Lootstealing is allowed. A loot can't be picked up by other players for quite a long time — 30 seconds. If you haven't pick up it during this time, then you do not need it.
* Using Dead Branches is allowed no closer than 10 cells from another character who is not a member of your group, with exception if he/she approached to you in the process of using.
* Using Bloody Branches is allowed no closer than 1 screen from another character who is not a member of your group, with exception if he/she approached to you in the process of using. Monsters fom Bloody Branches are FFA.
* Automation is strictly prohibited. If the administrator detects that you are AFK when your character performs an action, you will be punished. Zero tolerance to bots, their storages and merchants.
* Opening warps on the other guild's spot during War of Emperium, as well as using Ice Wall, Land Protector and other skills that interfere outside of combat, is prohibited.
* Intentional use of a bug or exploit is prohibited. On the other hand, reporting a bug will be rewarded.
* Don't spam in the General or Trade chat. This is not your personal bulletin board.
* Don't insult or provoke other players in the General chat. To clarify the relationship, there is a PM. Use /ex <nickname> to block a character you don't want to chat with.
'''Note''': The list of rules is incomplete and can be supplemented if necessary.


&nbsp;


You can report a violation in a special Discord channel. But please remember that in any situation, a polite dialogue always solves more than a report, because the resolved conflict will never happen again, and violence always leads to new violence.


* Game Accounts: Each person may create three game accounts (these are accounts with unique login names to Payon Stories’s game client). If you make more than three accounts, those extra accounts may be subject to suspension or forced consolidation.
&nbsp;
* Dual Clienting: Multi-clienting, which is a single person having two or more instances of the game open at one time is prohibited. This includes using virtual machines or proxies to circumvent this rule. One person should only ever be playing on one account at one given time. Owning up to three accounts is permitted. However, if you own more than one account and we observe that more than one of your accounts is online at the same time, we might assume that you are multi-clienting.
** This is an MMORPG and not a single player game. Cheating by multi-clienting harms the game community by making it more difficult for players to form natural parties and economy by making hunting spots much easier to 'solo' than they should be. We are very supportive of partying and many players have embraced the systems we’ve put in place to make partying easier and more rewarding. Our general rule is that if it LOOKS like multi-clienting, WORKS like multi-clienting and ACTS like multi-clienting, then that person should be punished for multi-clienting. There will be no more exceptions to this rule. While there are instances where family members or loved ones are playing alongside you, those players should be playing independently and have their own accounts. We encourage people who live together to be able to play with each other, but if you and your friend or loved-one are playing in such a fashion that we cannot tell if it’s one person or two people playing the game, then we are from here on going to assume that it is a case of multi-clienting. Playing with friends and family should be a mutual experience. Both characters should actively be engaging with the game and both players should have their own accounts independent of one another. Actively engaging is just that, it means playing the game actively, not just logging in to buff or endow someone as such activity is virtually indistinguishable from dual clienting. ''Offending players caught multi-clienting may receive the following punishments:''
*** First offense = 7-Day Suspension
*** Second offense = Permanent Ban
 
* Third-Party Cheats / Mods: Botting, hacking or any use of any third-party programs that automate or provide unfair advantages to gameplay are strictly prohibited. Third party programs include the use of macros, auto-hotkeys and auto-clickers. Any suspected third-party program use by players may result in a permanent ban. You may only use the game client provided by Payon Stories on our download page or through our patch client. You are not allowed to modify files within the client provided to you by Payon Stories that affect the visual representation of the game and its resources or gameplay itself. If and when exceptions are made, they will be made here. ''EXCEPTION:'' Any music files may be changed at the user’s discretion and risk. ''EXCEPTION:'' UI skins are allowed as this is an officially approved modification (share your skins with the community!) ''EXCEPTION:'' Homunculus AIs are allowed to the extent that they do not automatically feed your Homunculus or cause the player character to take any actions that do not require direct user input.
 
* Exploits: Exploiting or using bugs or attempts at exploitative behavior will result in a permanent ban. Please report any bugs or potential exploits to the Payon Stories staff immediately.
 
* Imitation of Staff: Game Masters and Community Managers are identifiable by their in-game sprites and/or names prefixed by the [GM] or [CM] tag. Attempts to imitate or name characters in a way similar to Payon Stories staff may require action against that character or account, including but not limited to a forced name change, or temporary/permanent suspension depending on severity.
 
* Real Money Transactions: Real money transactions for items, in-game currency, accounts, leeching services, or other services are strictly prohibited and will be dealt with through permanent suspension of account privileges. Advertisers of such services will receive a permanent IP ban.
 
* '''Account Sharing: Account Sharing is strictly forbidden. It is also strictly forbidden to transfer ownership of account from one person to another. one person, one account, at one given time is the best way to ensure you are playing fairly and allowing others to enjoy fairness on Project RO enhanced. To play and have access to Project RO enhanced, YOU, the individual, must agree to the rules and conditions as well as the terms of services. As such, each person who plays on the server must own at least one account that they can call their own.'''
