Project Talus: Code of Conduct

The Project Talus staff reserves the right to intervene in destructive behavior to maintain a healthy game environment. By playing here, you agree to the following:

1. Naming Policy

• 1a. Offensive Names: Names containing hate speech, discriminatory language, sexually explicit content, or harassment.

• 1b. Format & Immersion: Names must be readable and fit a medieval fantasy setting. Gibberish (e.g., "Asdfgh"), sentence-based names (e.g., "Iwillkillyou"), or improper formatting are prohibited.

• 1c. Advertising: Using names to promote third-party brands, websites, or real-money services.

• 1d. Impersonation: Attempting to mimic Staff Members or other players to deceive the community or damage reputations.

2. Communication & Statements

• 2a. Public Conduct: Racism, drug-related promotion, or severe harassment in public/trade channels.

  Note: We generally do not moderate private messages or local "Default" chat unless they involve real-life threats or doxing.

• 2b. Spamming: Excessive repetition of text or nonsensical flooding of public channels.

• 2c. Doxing: Sharing the private personal data of other players without consent is a zero-tolerance offense.

• 2d. Anti-Project Propaganda: Intentionally spreading false information or malicious rumors to damage the server’s reputation or population.

3. Cheating & Software

• 3a. Bug Abuse: Exploiting unintended mechanics for an advantage. All bugs must be reported via the official help channels immediately.

• 3b. Unauthorized Software: Use of third-party bots, auto-looters, or external macros is strictly prohibited and results in account deletion.

• 3c. Official Macro System: You may only use the built-in Project Talus macro system for stationary training (e.g., casting spells/eating). Your character must remain stationary. Any movement-based automation will be treated as illegal botting.

4. Multi-Clienting (MC)

Players are permitted a maximum of two (2) characters online simultaneously per person.

• The 1+1 Rule: You may have one character engaging in active gameplay (Hunting, Questing, PvP) while the second character is restricted to passive tasks (Training, Rune making).

• PvP Restriction: You may not use a second client to assist in PvP. This includes scouting, throwing Magic Walls, blocking, or carrying supplies for your main character.

• Griefing: You may not use multiple clients to block paths, NPCs, or spawns to prevent others from playing.

5. Gameplay & Griefing

• 5a. Disruptive Behavior: Deliberately abusing mechanics to prevent others from progressing or enjoying the game without justification.

• 5b. PvP Context: Project Talus is a PvP-friendly environment. Being hunted or killed by enemies is a core gameplay mechanic and is not considered griefing. Every report is assessed individually based on context.

6. Account Sharing & EXP Services

• 7a. General Sharing: Sharing account access for stationary training or basic tasks is permitted at your own risk.

• 7b. EXP Services (Piloting): Gaining experience points (EXP) on an account that does not belong to you, or hiring others to gain EXP for you, is strictly prohibited.

• 7c. Security: You are responsible for your account security. While staff will penalize "hackers" who spread malicious links, we do not recover items lost due to shared passwords or poor security.

⚖️ Enforcement & Appeals

Violations are assessed on a case-by-case basis. Punishments range from Warnings and Skill Resets to Temporary Banishment or Full Deletion.

• Appeals: If you believe a ban was issued in error, you may open an appeal ticket via the #help channel on our official Discord.

• Staff Discretion: Rules are subject to change. Updates will be announced on the Project Talus website.
