Server Rules

Please follow these rules in-game to ensure a fair and fun gaming environments.

IP Bans (Banned for ever):

* 1. Don't hack, exploit, or bug in-game. We don't tolerate unfair gaming, and hackers are always punished.
* 2. Don't impersonate a GM(Game Master) or an Administrator. It confuses players and eventually causes problems. Breaking this rule will result in a IP ban (even if you are joking).
* 3. Do not advertise any site/servers other than Old-School WoW.



Account Bans:

* 1. Excessive use of Abusive Language.
* 2. Defrauding or Attempting to Defraud a GM.
* 3. Harassing the GM Staff.
* 4. Scamming another Player.
* 5. Inappropriate character naming.
* 6. Ninja looting. Is not cool, the raid leader trusted you so don't be a jerk.



Server kicks (minor offenses)

* 1. Don't type all in caps. Caps are annoying, no one likes them and they also make you look dumb.
* 2. Don't make threats or hurtful comments towards players, we want all players to feel happy playing in our servers.
* 3. Don't beg players/GM's for gold, items, levels, etc.. is annoying, and other players worked hard to make their gold, so why not do the same thing instead of beg?



It is important to follow these guidelines in the immediate situation when dealing with a GM. A GM will never ask you to do anything that would compromise an account or its contents. Though the GM's motives may be unclear, there may well be a valid justification for the request, but the GM may be unable to articulate this for various reasons. Rather than disobeying in protest against the request being made or the action being taken, please oblige him/her and later express your concerns to the old-school@thegame.com email address. Emails sent to this address go directly to the Administrators, who will investigate and address any instances of potentially inappropriate GM actions.

GMs will make every attempt to show you the respect you deserve as a valued player. We ask that you, in turn, show us the same respect. We take no joy in assigning account penalties, but sometimes must do so to preserve the integrity of the service. We look forward to our interactions with the players and hope to resolve issues quickly and painlessly so you can get back to enjoying the game.
