• Do not enter or participate in WOE (or any GvG Event) in which you do not have an emblem or your emblem is, for majority, invisible.
• In relation to WoE, as stated below, the use of no emblem, or a transparent emblem is not allowed. A highly transparent emblem, even if it not completely invisible, can still be grounds for punishment under this rule.
• As well, the emblem must be discernible as an emblem. If your name was "Player" and your emblem was using the ingame font to spell out the word "I am" so that when people see your character it would look like your name was "I am Player", that is not discernible as an emblem. Your emblem must be clearly represented as it should be.

• Don't hack, and don't get "hacked".

  • Unless they can prove it beyond a shadow of a doubt, don't believe anyone who claims to be a GM.
  • Regardless of whether or not they are giving out free items or anything of the sort.
• Do not use of a name similar to an existing GM's name.
  • The use of a name deemed too similar allows the staff to force you to change it, at your expense, or delete the character entirely.
• Even if a name was used by a GM at one point, but that person is no longer a GM, the name may be reserved and similar names are not allowed.
• If the name you have is similar to a GM's name, but your name was chosen PRIOR to the GM's existence, you may be allowed to keep it.
  • Similar names created AFTER the GM's existence are strictly prohibited.

• Do not advertise another server.
  • It is up to the GMs to determine what is advertising or not.
  • Basic common sense will keep you out of trouble.
• Examples:
  • BAD:"You should consider joining xxxxRO, I could give you a whole set of +7 valk gear."
  • NEUTRAL/TOLERABLE: "I used to play xxxxRO, then I came here," or, "Yeah he quit a while ago and went to xxxxRO."
• Posting, or otherwise sharing referral links is not allowed.
  • This is due to being unverifiable as non-scams and act to purely benefit the advertising person alone.

• Twisting the truth or otherwise deceiving or misrepresenting something in order to get money, items, or accounts. (not holding up your end of the bargain)
• Disclaimer: buying something at a high price and discovering someone else was selling it much lower is not scamming. You are responsible for knowing a current item's worth prior to buying/selling it.
• Account sharing is heavily discouraged, and we warn you to be extremely cautious with lending.
  • As a rule of thumb, lend out only what you would not mind losing, and lend only to people you trust.
• Selling or Buying anything that is based off of trust is the player's risk.
  • Depending on what sort of evidence you have to support your claim, the GM's reserve the right to deny helping in this sort of report.
• DO NOT SCAM, we take scam issues VERY VERY serious and we have good tracking tools to support it.

• Selling or Buying items with direct money is LEGAL in here.
• You can RMT with Zeny, Items or your Account.
  • Buy or sell zeny, items and your account with real money is ALLOWED in our server.
  • Please do ONLY advertise your needs inside our Ingame Trade channel orIngame Chat rooms.
  • The safety meassures are your own priority, we recommend to GET ACCOUNT/ZENY/ITEM before SEND MONEY.

• Do not spread false rumors, about anyone or anybody in our community, without solid evidence to back it up.
• Do not spread false rumors about GM future news, or changes.
• Do not spread false rumors about ingame content, or item descriptions to try to scam people in one or another way.
• Do not spread false rumors to cause drama or attention, or add salts in Main chats.

• Loopholes
  • Any attempt to use loopholes to your advantage, despite the application of common sense, will be met with an application of the "Catch All" rule. Do not attempt to play games with us. If you are unsure if something is illegal or not, ASK before doing so.
• Names [Given the option to rename pr delete character]
  • All names, whether they belong to guilds, characters, or pets, need to be appropriate for the game. At most, they should be suitable for a pg-13 rating. If you are unsure whether or not your name is okay, then it is best not to use it. 
• Account Sharing
  • Although not technically illegal, account sharing is heavily frowned upon. Not only does it put your account at risk, but it also puts you in danger of not getting helped. If there is any evidence of sharing, actual or circumstantial, the GM Team reserves the right to refuse to help you in various situations. The account holder is responsible for any and all things that take place when logged in, so "my brother uses my account" will not be a sufficient defense. The entire account will suffer any and all consequences, regardless of how many people use it.
• Email Ownership
  • Whatever you do, do not give up the email attached to your account, it is your account LIFELINE. We will offer email changes if you are the sole person logging into the account going back for some time, that judgement will be made by the person handling the email change.
• Item Recovery Policy
  • Don’t lend valuable items to anyone for any reason.
  • Don’t let someone else transfer your items between your characters for you. Use the ingame mail service, or in cases where the characters on the same account, do it through Kafra.
  • Don’t give out your password to someone.
  • When giving items to someone, walk away from other players before trading. Double-check the other character’s name at the top of the trade window before giving items. Make sure you didn’t deal the wrong character.
  • When doing such trades, do not pay the other party first.
  • Check all items in the trade window on both sides before clicking “Trade”. Make sure they are really giving you the items they said they would, and make sure you didn’t give the wrong item to them.
  • If you got scammed, report the scam immediately by submitting a Support Ticket. If you take longer than 24 hours from the time you discovered the scam to report, we may not be able to help you. Although, we may not be able to recover your scammed items, but only to punish the scammer.
  • If someone claims to be a Gamemaster in-game and asks you for your password, don’t give it to them. Real Gamemasters will not ask you in-game for your password. Instead, take a screenshot of the conversation and submit a Support Ticket immediately.
  • When vending, make sure that the correct price is set.
  • When overupgrading, make sure that the item you’re upgrading is the right one. Accidental upgrades will not be recovered.
  • Please note that, GM's can't create and will never trade/give out items to recover your own mistakes!

Alter World Staffs reserves all the right to administer any form of punishment with just cause.

This is generally done through a majority consensus on the Alter World Staffs, so just obey the rule of thumb and you'll be fine.
