Innovation Ragnarok Online Ingame Rules

Do not perform or be involved with any of the following

1. Kill Stealing
Attacking a monster by any means that is already attacking/being attacked by another player.
• If the player seems unresponsive, you still may not attack their monster.
• Do not attack a player's monster to "help" them unless they ask for it.
• All MVPs whether summoned by Bloody Branch, Event Summon, Game Master Summon, or Natural Spawn are Free for All (FFA).
• Mini-bosses does not count as MVPs. They are NOT Free for All (FFA).

2. Verbal Abuse
Directing insults, demeaning names, slander, profanity or uncivilized attitude toward players, the staff, the server, or any aspect of the server.
• Acts of verbal abuse are not tolerated in private chat, towns, out of towns, through megaphone usage or in WoE.
• Swearing in PvP gets tolerated to some degree since it is part of the competitive game play. This however doesn't mean that you can't be punished for severe swearing and/or verbal abuse.
• Since your participation in guild/party chat is "at will", we take a very lenient stance on this issue.
• Only the most severe harassment will be considered.
• The Game Masters will be the judge of this, and not any other player -- whether they are the victims, the convicted, witness, or any other status.
• Repeated acts of verbal abuse, whether consecutively or not, will be treated with a harsher punishment.

3. Sexual Harassment
Sexual Harassment regards the unwelcome use of sexually suggestive comments in a social environment.
• This holds true irrespective of whether the comment itself is derogatory or simply crude.
• If you mean to joke, it is your responsibility to ensure that your jokes and humour will not be considered offensive to the person you interact with before you make them.
• If they are offended, 'I was just joking' will not be considered to be a valid defense.

4. Spamming
Repeatedly emitting the same line(s) of text whether it's consistent or not (chatting or buying/selling/trading).
• Spamming is not allowed anywhere, and is zero-tolerance in town areas.
• Spamming of @request is highly discouraged

5. Bug Abuse
Knowingly or unknowingly using a bug or glitch to one's advantage.
• All bugs or glitches are not to be abused, but are to be reported per PM to the staff on the forum or the GMs.

6. Server Advertisement
Advertising another Ragnarok Online (or any other MMORPG) server or mentioning the name of another server to lure players to the said location.
• Server advertisement or mentioning another server in any way is prohibited.
• Do not name characters after servers or with "RO"/"Ro" at the end of the name. All lowercase is fine unless we see it as an obvious advertisement.


7. Scamming
Purposefully misleading players into deals or situations in which one will benefit from the victimized player.
• This includes impersonating any member of the GM team.
• Borrowing an item and not returning it to it's rightful owner doesn't have to be treated as scamming. A GM however, may still punish if it's proven. The GM doesn't have to though.
• Asking for account names/passwords/personal information is considered scamming.

• 3rd party tools or any modifications which can affect the gameplay are also against the rules, example of such , using sprites that are not released by TrendingRO that cause the server to crash.
• Using more than one character during events held by GameMasters.
• Creating multiple characters to gain GOLD COINS.
