CoV Player Guidelines
Any questions pertaining to these rules
are to be directed to the Staff of CoV in game. If outside game, posting your
questions on the CoV forums will also suffice. Offenders of breaking these rules
may result in Jail time, Extensive Jail time, or in the most severe cases,
immediate ban from the server.
Please remember that the “CoV” is a FREE server and having an account is a
privilege. Individuals who wish to be a nuisance to the Staff or other Players
of CoV, will find their privilege’s quickly revoked.
1 - Respect all players, staff, and administrators within the CoV server, it’s
forums, and outside events. I understand not all players will get along but I
only ask that you don’t go out of your way to make another players experience a
bad one. The following are examples of what NOT to do; Harrasing, Name Calling,
Cursing, Luring animals and/or monsters on top of other players, Impersonating
Staff, Administrators , or other Players, and Griefing. If you feel that you are
being disrespected by Staff, immediately take a screen shot of the “journal” and
PM Admin Ravenloff on the CoV Forum’s. If you feel that you are being
disrespected by another player, contact a GM and have a screen shot ready in
case it is needed.
2 - Inappropriate Names are not acceptable. Accounts made with an inappropriate
name will be deleted without warning. If uncertain if a name is acceptable or
not, contact a Staff member.Need help finding a chara name, there are Fantasy
and RPG Names Generator out there on the web
3 - Staff will not tolerate any form of harassment based on color, sex,
religion, or sexuality on server or on the website. You may not organize any
guilds or groups that are based on any racist, sexist, anti-religious,
anti-ethnic, anti-gay, or other hate-mongering philosophy, either on shard or
website. There is no exception for this and anyone caught doing this will be
banned without further warning. This is your 1st & only warning on this subject.
4 - Do not ask to become staff.
5 - Do not exploit bugs. If you know of a bug or potential exploit, page a Staff
member or PM Admin Ravenloff through the forums. Do not post the exploit on the
forums or make conversation of the potential bug in public chat. If uncertain
about a possible bug or exploit, it’s safer to verify with Staff or Admin before
continuing. Players and Staff caught exploiting bugs for their own personal
benefit will immediately be banned from the server.
6 - No Spamming on server or within Forums. Cases may include jail time and for
the more extreme cases, account ban.
7 - Unattended macroing is permitted on CoV as long as certain guidelines are
met. Your macro must be in a private area such as your home or boat. In town,
near dungeons, players homes other than your own, high traffic areas are not
acceptable. Macros are to have a minimum of 8 seconds between actions as to not
bog down the server. Players found macroing unattended in a pubic area, or
without a delay, will receive jail time for a first offense along with a skill
reduction of up to 20 points.
8 - Paging GM’s are for game issues or problems. Do not page a GM for hints,
items, teleports, death pile recovery, resurrection, increase stats, etc… If you
have questions regarding an in-game quest, please use the forums or ask another
player.
9 - You may not violate any local, state, national or international law or
regulation. You may not arrange for the exchange or transfer of any pirated
