Type A: AFK gathering resources, gaining wealth, or leveling weapons
Type L: Language violations
Type D: Dual clienting
Type E: Exploiting
Type Z: Higher violations

IMPORTANT: All of the rules are more as a general guideline, rather than explicit statements you could find in a law book.
If anyone's wants to be be on the edge of these rules, we may just classify that edge as Z: Higher violation and do something fun for the rest of the day, rather than debating rules and excuses.

Type A: AFK gathering resources, gaining wealth, or leveling weapons

While performing actions listed under Codex rule 4.c. you need to be at the keyboard at all times.

When gathering resources: we understand short periods of absence, such as bathroom breaks or answering the door. When a staff member comes to check you, you should reply in overhead chat immediatelly. If do not reply, you will be temporarily moved to jail. When moved to jail, you still have 10 minutes to get out without any penalty.

When killing spawn or leveling weapons: you need to be at the keyboard at all time. If you do not reply in a couple of seconds, it will be taken that you are AFK.

1st violation: You will be warned.
2nd violation: You will receive a 24 hour jail and of your resources/weapon will be impounded for one week.
3rd violation: You will receive a 5 day jail and your resources/weapon will be impounded for 3 weeks.
4th violation and further violations will be treated as a heavy violation, resulting in temporary or permanent account ban.

Once you are already in jail, if you show your presence by sending a help request (paging staff) within 5 minutes of coming to jail, the penalty (jail time and item impounding) is reduced by half. For example in the case of a 2nd violation, it would be 12 hours jail and 3.5 days item impounding.

These violations have a 3 month decay rate. Scroll to the bottom for details on this.

Type L: Language violations

Refer to Codex section 2 for exact rules.
There are three distinctions: P: Public chat violations, L: Local chat violations, N: Naming violations

1st violation: You will be warned and if the violation is heavy enough you may be immediately
     [P: banned from chat for up to a few hours] or
     [L: jailed for up to a few hours].
2nd violation: You will be
     [P: banned from chat for up to 48 hours] or
     [L: jailed for up to 48 hours] or
     [N: the entity will be temporarily impounded]
3rd violation: You will be
     [P: banned from chat for up to 1 week] or
     [L: jailed for up to 1 week] or
     [N: the entitiy will be permanently impounded]
4th and further violations will be treated as a heavy violation, resulting in temporary or permanent account ban.

These violations have a 1 month decay rate. Scroll to the bottom for details on this.

Type D: Dual clienting

Dual clienting is immediatelly treated as a heavy violation. Each account may be used only by the owner. There is no "I just hopped for a second on his/her account to check something" excuse. We have sophisticated methods of finding and proving this, so as long as each person only plays with his/her own account, there's nothing to worry about. When found:
1st time: All secondary accounts are immediatelly permanently banned without question. Doesn't help if it was you're relative's or friend's account, the fact that you used it makes it your secondary account. Your main account is temporarily banned for a few weeks or months, although it may also be a permanent ban. We may permanently impound any posessions that we believe were obtained using the benefit of two accounts, even with just a hunch and no proof.
2nd time: Permanent ban.

Type E: Exploiting

Exploiting is immediatelly treated as a heavy violation. All in-game entities such as pets and items that were used for the exploit, or that were the result of the exploit, may (will probably) be permanently impounded. Your account or any accounts related to this may be temporarily or permanently banned.

There is a much better alternative:
Report the exploit to the staff so that we may fix it, you will recieve a symbolic reward, and a permanent mark on your account that you've done a good deed for the shard.

How can you know if you're exploiting? Here are some of the signs:
- If something is bringing a very above average gain.
- If it's considered that it should be kept away from staff's knowledge.
- If something requres a very specific set of actions you need to take, in order to perform something that you normally couldn't.
- If you are able to perform an action that seems illogical or against the written rules (for example, being able to enter the newbie dungeon after you have already reached the maximum account age).

Type Z: Heavy violations

If you repeat smaller violations or do something very wrong, it falls into this category. If such an incident occurs, we properly investigate it, reconsider, and apply penalties that seem appropriate. This usually includes account ban, which can be tamporary ranging from a few days to a few months or a permanent ban, impounding of any in-game entities, etc.

Violation decay

If a violation has a defined decay rate, that means that if you don't repeat the violation within that time, it gets lowered by one step.

Example 1: A player is found AFK mining on February 23rd and is given the first violation penalty, in this case only a warning. Now if he/she is found doing the same type of offense (Type A), within one month (that is all until and including May 23rd), he/she will be given the 2nd violation penalty. If however they are found AFK macroing on May 24th, they are just warned again.

Example 2: On June 12th a player says a swearword in chat and recieves a warning. Several days later, he/she swears again and is banned from chat for a day. Again a few days later he/she is found to have a pet with a highly inappropriate name, and is jailed for 1 week for it, and the pet is permanently impounded. Now if this player made another violation by the date including September 12th, he/she would most probably be banned for at least a few weeks. But if this new violation would be done on or after September 13th, he/she would again get the 3rd violation penalty for it. If this new violation would be done on December 13th, he/she would get the 2nd violation penalty. And as of the March 13th next year, this played would be clear of past offenses.

IMPORTANT: This is to be used more as a general guideline, not as an exact rule. If we see that a player didn't learn from past experience, or is waiting exactly to the date that their penalty would expire, and then violate again, over and over, that wouldn't work out for him/her.
