PLAYER RULES STAFF RULES

Below are the rules for players to follow as well as staff who choose to play as a player. The rules are quite simple, and for the enjoyment of all. 

Rules for Players:

  • Macroing: is allowed 24/7 as long as you are in a private area; Home and non traveled areas, to prevent lag. I will allow programs to assist your macroing, razor, easyuo, EZmacro etc…
  • Violators of any of the rules will be ejected and/or jailed depending on the severity of the action taken by the player. However, I will consider certain pleads, therefore Staff has the go ahead to drop points in the appropriate skill being macroed.
  • All Staff will be Respected.. No players will be harassed, no name calling, no cursing, luring of MOBs, impersonating staff or players, no griefing of any kind, especially racial harassment. That goes for the forums as well. 
  • One account per person; If you sneak in an alias and get another account, I will delete both of them. However, it is perfectly acceptable to have two or more unique accounts (1 per person) in a family with the same IP number.
  • Wear clothes. This is a family shard. It is silly to run around naked anyway.
  • Exploits: Do not exploit bugs. If you know of a bug or potential exploit, Page for a GM or PM Admin on the forum. Exploits include speed hacking, 'clever' ways to beat the system, outright bugs, etc. If you are caught exploiting bugs you will be banned first time. No second chances on that sort of thing.
  • We have a jailing system so DO NOT USE PROFANE LANGUAGE or suffer the consequences. You will be immediately transferred to a jail, and released upon completion of sentence, to the last area where jailed from. All items will be returned upon release.
Naming your Character: 
  • Pick names for your characters and pets that are appropriate to the medieval world of Ultima. Avoid names of well known people, television or movie celebrities. Avoid purely descriptive names like "Smithy" or "Mule", etc, etc. Elaborate role playing names are not only permitted but encouraged. 
  • Fantasy and RPG Names Generator is a nice site to get some ideas if you want some name possibilities. There are many other sites that have a utility to generate names as well.

PvP Rules: 

TOKUNO IS UNDER FELUCCA RULES!

  • You can steal from players or kill them. However, try to have a bit of class and roleplay it a bit. We do not promote Player Killing but we do recognize that some players enjoy this type of activity. We do insist it must be role played. 
  • Yes.. did I say role play, I encourage Role play so although not mandatory, it is highly encouraged especially during PvP.
Contacting Staff: 
  • Use the Page system if you need help or have a question for Staff. Do NOT PM Staff or call for Staff on the chat system. In most cases, we'll just ignore that type of contact.
  • Do not, ask Staff members for skill modifications, stat changes, special items, item tweaks, transport, resurrections and so on. If you die in-game for WHATEVER REASON. We are here to help things go smooth and make Cryptic Realms an enjoyable virtual world for all of us.
Housing: 
  • You are allowed two houses per account choose between Custom plots or Classic homes, buy your House Placement Tool from the Architect NPC. Pre-built OSI style houses can be viewed at Stratics Better Homes and Castles. On the left side menu are New Designs and Homes.
  • Don't place your house on roads
  • Don't place houses within a screen or two of any other house unless both parties agree. There is plenty of room here for housing.
  • Don't block entrances to caves or dungeons. Leave at least 10 tiles between your house and the entrance.
  • Don't place houses inside dungeons, caves, or buildings.
  • Don't place houses in guard zones or in towns unless you check with a GM first. There ARE available empty spots in towns but you need Staff permission to place there.
  • Don't place houses on farmland or in animal pens.
  • Don't place houses within 5 full screens of a champion altar.
Inactive Accounts: 
  • Accounts not logged onto after 30 days will go inactive. All inactive accounts WILL BE DELETED unless the shard OWNER is notified in advance as to the absence. Any accounts deleted due to inactivity will not be compensated of their losses.

***Any of these rules can be changed at any given time. They can be altered without notice or added to at the administration's decision.***


Well Met, and safe travels, we will meet again, within Cryptic Realms!

Seeing as owners and developers made this world we may do anything we deem fit. Even if this includes making a player account for ourselves. Any staff divulging this information will be terminated. 

General Rules: 

1. Staff members will NOT teleport to Administrators. You must page to speak with us. Check positions of other staff members, we may be talking to them. 
2. Will not EVER have a player on there staff account. 
3. If your staff account is under suspision of abuse, an Admin at any time will block your staff account until investigation is over. We do not need to give you an explanation as to why. And harassment on why will not be 
tolerated. We will speak with you when we are ready to, or have some answers. 
4. Will not use there staff accounts to hunt down another player. 

*Note* 
If I catch a staff member logging in to find the location of a player to kill or harrass him, they will be terminated, and player account deleted. 

I cannot stress enough on this point; If the Admins even suspect abuse your account will be blocked. The rules are now set. There is no room for doubt, These rules will be followed or risk having your staff account banned. Perhaps even your player account. GM's, Councilors, and Seers are to enhance players pleasure, Not ruin it.
