Soliciting other servers in game, irc, or forum

2.
Absolutely no Dual-Boxing or botting of any type whatsoever, under any
circumstances. Using what is commonly referred to as a "BuffBot" is
illegal and unbalances the game. It is unfair to the players who play
legitimately on this server and it ruins the entire basis of community.
Lineage 2 is based on players working together in parties or clans, and
using a bot destroys the backbone of the game. If you need buffs, find
a prophet or a bishop that plays the game. There are more than enough
available.
What this rule encompasses:
*- Player x following Player y: both Players are controlled by Player x.
*- Player x and Player z are leveling, Player z logs out to log on to another account (Player y) to buff Player A.
*- Player X is leveling and stops. Player Y logs in buffs player X and logs out.
*-
Player Y is leveling and player X is standing off to one side and
Player Y goes to get buffs and returns to lvl. Player X is of the same
lvl as or higher than Y. Player X never moves except to buff Player A.
*- Using a 3rd party program or script to control your character or characters.
Punishment
for breaking this rule: These punishments are more strict because they
encompass breaking more than one rule at a time including rule 3 and/or
4.
Botting: (see rule #3)
Punishment for breaking this rule:
1st Offence = Account and auth ban.
3.
Programs, scripts, modifications, or any other media that is not
sanctioned by either NCSoft or L2mafia.Gr will not be tolerated on this
server. This includes any botting programs, speed "hacks," modified
.ini files, monster statistic display scripts, etc. Not only are these
objects disruptive and unbalancing to the harmony of L2mafia.Gr, they
also tie up extra bandwidth from the server itself, thus adding overall
"lag" throughout the entire game, and potentially disallowing other
players to even enter the game.
What this rule encompasses:
Help file exploits
Botting programs
Macro programs
L2walker exploits
Giving yourself incredible HP/MATK/PATK/etc
Negative HP exploits
Modding your INI files to see what level mobs are, or if they are aggro.
Anything we do not write/distribute is not allowed.
Distributing/soliciting hacking programs, keyloggers, ect. in game, irc, or forum
Punishment for breaking this rule:
1st Offence = Account and auth ban.
4.
ALL users are allowed one account and one account ONLY. Any players
caught with multiple accounts can have their accounts deleted
immediately without warning. There is a zero tolerance policy on this.
If your friends or relatives would like to play here, the new person
must create their OWN game account for their own purposes. It is OK to
play on LAN, only if each person is accessing their own account and no
other.
Punishment for breaking this rule:
1st Offence: Accounts banned.
5.
Don't be a Lineage Litterrer, and please pick up your drops. The server
has a hard time keeping track of all the items laying on the floor of
the lineage world when the litter count gets into the thousands.
Failure to comply will get you "Trashed" by the staff.
What this rule encompasses:
Not picking up drops adena/resources (coal/iron/thread/ARROWS/etc) Within a reasonable amount of time.
Discarding unwanted items. ( yes, it?s a pain to sell all these items in shops but we want our servers lag free don?t we?)
Dropping Items in town.
Exclusions:You die and drop items
Punishment for breaking this rule:
1st Offence = Character is verbally warned and asked nicely to pick up items.
2nd
Offence = Character has all adena in personal storage (not WH) removed.
(if you have enough adena to not need to pick up the drops then you
don't need what you have)
3rd Offence = 30 day ban on Character and all gear wiped from character and WH.
4th Offence = Auth ban and deletion of account.
6.
Spawn Killing, or other forms of D.O.P (Denial of Play) listed below
will not be tolerated whatsoever under any circumstances. Although this
server was designed to grant players an intense player vs. player
experience, such things are considered forms of harassment. This server
was created with ALL players in mind, not exclusively for "Serial
PKers."
What this rule encompasses:
Using summons/pets
to kill or attack people outside of a safe zone, while you are inside
unable to be touched. (across a town zone line or arena line)
Waiting
at a teleport spot for players to port in so you can kill them. Or
training a bunch of monsters to the teleport spot to kill people as
they port in.
Killing people trying to access the gatekeeper in combat zones. If they want to leave the zone, let them.
If somebody kills you over and over, make friends, join a clan, have a war.
Punishment for breaking this rule:
1st Offence = Verbal warning, GM Fossilize (lasts 3 hours)
2nd Offence = 7 day character ban.
3rd Offence = Account banned.
7.
Do not attack the NPCs within the towns while playing L2Hero. Every
time one dies, the server much exert extra effort to "respawn" that
NPC. While one or two respawning makes little difference to the server,
repeated re-spawns promotes instability, and eventually the server WILL
crash.
What this rule encompasses:
Attacking stationary npcs, Gatekeepers, WH npcs, shop keepers, etc...
Exclusions:
Guards/Mobs
Punishment for breaking this rule:
1st Offence = Verbal warning, GM fossilize (lasts 3 hours)
2nd Offence = 7 day ban on that character.
3rd Offence = 30 day ban on that character.
4th Offence = *sigh, you should have gotten the picture by now, auth ban, account deletion.
8.
Perching: Attacking raid bosses or monsters in spots that they cannot
effectively attack back. This is referred to as "perching."
What this rule encompasses:
Attacking in spots where you cannot be attacked back. Through walls, on ledges, or through bugs in the worlds mapped geodata.
Taking
advantage of the fact that you cannot be attacked back is called
"exploiting" in the fact that you are exploiting an area which keeps
you safe from harm.
If you cannot be physically attacked because
of the spot you are standing in, then you are exploiting. Just because
an AOE "can" hit you now
