Doing actions that bring results, not intended by the game itself, is illegal. The penalties can be deleting of certain items, nullifying your skills, temporary jail/ban, or even permanent ban. You may be warned, but it is your responcibility to check the below list, if something is considered an exploit.

If you are uncertain whether something is an exploit, please contact the staff. We will give you the exact information, and possibly update this list

Exploiting

Exploiting the game, usually to gain wealth, is a serious offense. Severe action will be taken against those who exploit, or in any way use the game's features in a way they weren't intended, risk having their accounts, and possibly the accounts of other players in the household, banned for a few weeks, months, or even permanently.

A good way to know whether you're exploiting is to ask your self: Are you gaining a great amount of wealth, skill, or experience on pets/weapons? Do you wish the staff not to know about this secret, because you fear we would alter it so it wouldn't be as good anymore? If the answer is yes, then you are most probably exploiting.

If you report a possible exploit to the staff, we may reward you (the reward depends on the nature of the exploit).

Using trash4tokens backpack to get big amounts of tokens

The trash4tokensBackpack gives you tokens as a reward for cleaning the shard, not to give you an option of getting tokens for free in bulk.
1st offence: you will be warned, the trashbag or your tokenledger might be temporarily taken away
2nd offence: removal of your token ledger, you will get a new, empty one.
3rd offence: jail for 48 hours
4th offence: jail for a week, possible ban.

AFK Gathering Resources and Leveling items

You may use a macro to gather (to save your mouse and keyboard), but you must be present at your computer. Every now and then, we will have suprize inspections. If at the time of the inspecition you are gathering resources, you will be sent a message (if you are for example chatting meanwhile, then you will probably be skipped).

You must reply to that message within 5 minutes. If you do not do so, you will be moved to jail, where you cannot recall out (your macro will be disabled).
When in jail, you still have 5 minutes to let staff know you are present - send a page or announce your at-the-keyboard status in the public chat. If you do so in 5 minutes, no penalty applies. If you however do not show you are present, a penalty follows.

1st offence: Warning and jail with the posibility of immediate release (just to disable the macro).
2nd offnece: Jail for 24 hours
3rd offence: Jail for 48 hours, removal/impounding of gathered resources.
4th offence: Jail for 72 hours, removal/impounding of gathered resources.
5th and all following offences: account ban for 72 hours, removal/impounding of gathered resources, and you must pay a fine of either 150.000 gold or 20.000 tokens to get out of jail (if you wish to get your jailed character out)

AFK Leveling Items

If you are found in an area of monsters spawn, carrying a levelable weapon, beeing AFK, in order to gain weapon experience, it's considered exploiting. No excuses like "sorry I forgot to turn off my macro".
1st offence: item moved to your bank and you will be warned
2nd offence: item taken away from you for 48 hours.
3rd offence: item will be deleted or impounded and sold off at an auction.
