Ensure that you are entirely familiar with these rules. Failure to adhere to the rules will result in punishment from the server staff team.
Era basically follows the same standards set in the Graal Online Rule of Conduct(http://www.graalonline.com/docs/conduct.php).
Please note that bans apply to you as a person, not your account directly. If you are found to be using another account while banned, we will not hesitate to ban your new account without notice.
1. Cheating of any kind will not be tolerated.
- Bugs. Bugs in game should be reported immediately to staff members.
- Exploits; graphics editing, modem tapping, etc
- Third party program(s); ‘artmoney’, trainers, macros, etc.
Note: Accounts found to be doing any of the above will be banned without warning. [Reference 1]
2. Good behavior is expected from the staff and players alike. The following is not allowed, and will be enforced with jailing or a ban.
- Harassment
- Extreme Profanity (Extreme cases will not be allowed. Keep it PG-13)
- Racism
- Avoidance of the swear filters functions
- Targeting players (EG: Constantly killing them, harassing them, etc)
- Ignoring a staff member’s reasonable requests
- Failure to report bugs, players disobeying these rules, and exploits
- Massing out inappropriate images or websites (eg: Pornographic images)
- Spar PKing.
- Joining events in order to escape from fights or to heal.
We expect decent behavior on all channels of Graal communication that relate to Era. This includes (but is not limited to) the main game, cross-server communication (e.g. global PMs), and posts on the GraalOnline forum (both the Era section and private forum messages).
Note: Don't bug staff members to give you things you did not earn any way another player could.
3. Scamming
Scamming is now Illegal on Era. However, this does not mean you now have full protection over your items. There are certain rules and guidelines which I am about to explain.
All GP’s are now allowed to watch any sort of trade at the request of a player. The GP will be there to make sure the Items/Money are transferred safely to the respective player involved in the trade agreement. It is the player’s responsibility to make sure all the specifics of the trade are made clear to the GP before it takes place. If either one of the players involved disobeys the pre-arranged trade agreement and attempts to “scam” the other player he/she will be punished accordingly, and the GP will take control of the Item trade himself.
It is VERY important that if you are involved in a drop trade, and you are unsure of the other person, you PM a GP to come watch. Otherwise if you give someone your gun, we have no way to prove he scammed you and that you didn’t simply give it to him and suddenly regret it. It is their word against yours. However, if we can prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the scam DID occur, your items will more than likely be restored.
If you follow these guidelines, then there is a very low possibility of you being scammed anytime soon under normal circumstances. If a GP is not online at the time of a trade, please be patient and wait for one to log on. If you get scammed because you were in to much of a hurry to get a GP to come supervise, then that is your own fault. There is no guarantee that your items will be restored. All GP’s reserve the right to refuse a case based on their own discretion.
Along with these new scamming rules, comes new rules regarding Cross Server Trading. It is once again Illegal to Cross Server Trade on Era. Any player caught advertising it in mass messages or on client will be punished.
Any GP showing favoritism or allows a scam to take place should be reported to either myself or LordSquirt.
4. Account sharing.
Graal accounts are not supposed to be shared between players. Each account is reserved for the original creator of the account. Accounts found to be shared will be banned from the server without noticed. The IP and PC ID will be logged and given to the Accounts Administration Team to be dealt with. Advertising the selling, trading, or giving away of accounts is also not allowed.

In certain circumstances, such as extremely abusive behavior, a user may be locked out without warning or notice of any kind. […]
Note: Era does not fully follow the policy of e-mailing banned accounts or the amount of time for each punishment presented here. Each violation is punished according to the management’s discretion.
