Game & Forum Rules

Game Rules


1. English only in the main chats. Private or party chats can be in whatever language you want, this rule is to prevent the main chats from being overrun by posts in a language only one or two people present can read.

2. No harassment of any kind. Swears or slurs directed at another player in a derogatory manner are strictly prohibited, offenders may be banned without warning. We want Dawn of Eternity to be a safe place for people to play. Racist/sexist/homophobic/ect. comments of any kind will not be tolerated. Likewise, drama mongering is prohibited.

3. No SPAM. This means posting stupid, annoying and pointless messages. This can include: full posts, filling the chat purposely with all their text, posts aimed at annoying people etc. Please screenshot any of this behaviour and send privately to a member of staff on the forum.

3. No sexual content or inappropriate names. No making any unnecessary sexual comments or gestures towards other players, or sexual jokes or conversations. Any player found with an inappropriate name will have that character, or account, deleted without warning. If you have questions about what constitutes "inappropriate", ask a staff member to clarify.

4. No altering game files. While you may make texture mods to items and prey, you cannot edit the games files in any way that affects play. You cannot make prey or items spawn in custom maps.

5. No mini modding. If you see another player break the rules, please report it to a staff member straight away and do not attempt to take matters into your own hands.

6. No claiming admin spawned prey or items. Admin spawned prey or items are for everyone to enjoy, you cannot claim or tame any admin spawns. Violators may have their items or pet removed.

7. No impersonating staff or other players. You cannot use the name of a staff member or other player with the intent of impersonating them, violators will have their characters deleted and issued a temporary ban. Repeat offenders may be banned permanently.

8. Do not beg. No following people around begging for gold or items, or bugging staff to spawn things for you.

9. No stealing items or prey. Do not start attacking prey that someone else has already started fighting, even if that person is wounded and recovering, you may not swoop in and steal the prey that they've weakened. Do not steal items from prey drops either, even if the prey was killed high up and the player who killed it is still on their way down.

10. One account per person. Every user is allowed only one account, no creating multiple accounts to cheat non-repeatable quests. If you have a family member or someone who lives in your house that plays and shares an IP address, please let staff know. If you want to change usernames you have to contact staff.

11. No players under 13. In compliance with the COPA, anyone found being under the age limit will be banned until they turn 13.

12. No scamming. Anyone found scamming other players for items or gold will be banned on the spot.
