Server rules — Sinian

These rules are binding on everyone who plays on Sinian.

1. General provisions

1.1. These rules govern the use of Sinian's game services. Registering an account and logging into the game mean you agree to them — fully and without exception.
1.2. Your account, characters and game valuables are part of the Sinian service. You are granted access to them for as long as the account exists, not ownership of them.
1.3. Not knowing the rules is no excuse for breaking them.
1.4. The administration may amend these rules. The current version is always published at this address.

2.1. Data confidentiality. Responsibility for keeping your login, password and PIN safe rests entirely with the account owner. Two-factor protection (2FA) is available in the personal cabinet — turning it on is strongly recommended.
2.2. Account transfer. Sharing an account or handing over access to a third party is done at the owner's own risk. Support does not restore items or characters lost as a result of such a transfer.
2.3. Real-money trading (RMT). Buying, selling, exchanging or attempting to sell gold, items, characters or accounts for real money or off-game services is forbidden. Penalty: a permanent block on every account involved in the deal.
2.4. Deal fraud. Deliberately misleading the other side of a deal about an item or its properties is forbidden. Penalty: a block on the character or account of 7 days or more, permanent on a repeat.
2.5. Theft. Taking someone else's item, character or account is forbidden. Penalty: a permanent account block.
2.6. Trade stalls. Blocking a path, other traders or an NPC with a stall, or setting up an excessive number of stalls at one spot just to hold space, is forbidden. This also covers Kotomania — our automated trading app, the only one allowed on the server. Penalty: the stall is removed; repeated violations get the character blocked for 1 day or more.

Players are forbidden to:

3.1. Third-party software and automation. Using third-party programs, scripts, macros, bots or client modifications that grant an advantage or act without the player's involvement. The exception is Kotomania: it lists a stall and reopens it, but never fights or levels a character. Penalty: an account block of 7 days or more, permanent on a repeat.
3.2. Bugs and exploits. Deliberately using errors in the client, geodata or server for gain or to harm other players. Reporting a found bug to support is rewarded; concealing or exploiting one gets you blocked.
3.3. Interfering with the server. Taking action meant to destabilize the client, the server side, the database or the network infrastructure.
3.4. Arena of Aurora. In Arena fights — transferring points between your own characters, arranging a fixed match, or colluding with players on the opposing team. Penalty: an account block of 7 days or more.

Players are forbidden to:

4.1. Impersonation. Posing as a member of the administration, or using names for a character, guild or stall that imitate administration accounts (Admin, GM, Support and the like).
4.2. Advertising. Advertising other game projects, unrelated resources or referral links.
4.3. Destructive behaviour. Threatening physical violence, stirring up hostility over nationality, religion or anything else, or spreading malicious or phishing links. Penalty: a chat block from a few hours for a first offence up to permanent for repeats.
4.4. Dealing with support. Flooding support with requests, insulting support staff, or providing knowingly false information or faked evidence.

5.1. Reports of violations and unblock requests are accepted exclusively through the project's support.
5.2. A report must include an unedited screenshot or recording that clearly shows the violation and the violator's name.
5.3. An appeal against a block must be filed no later than 7 days after the penalty was applied. Support's decision after review is final.
