[Game help] multiplay multiplaying mp
 
Playing multiple characters is a very fine line to walk. Having alts is
not illegal, but we have to keep in mind the main concept of having our
rules: to ensure that the game remains fun, fair, and enjoyable.
Using two characters to give you an advantage over someone who only has
one is unfair and thus expressly forbidden. We want you to be free to
express yourself, offer up varying flavor and atmosphere to the game,
and take any role you might wish. With that in mind, it's not fair or
fun for the people being 'teamed up' on (directly or indirectly) if you
use two characters for a similar purpose or interchangeably in a
competitive fashion.
 
There is no excuse for violation of these rules, either intentional or 
unintentional. Ignorance is not and will not be an excuse when caught. 
The varying facets of multiplaying, and the punishments for them, are
outlined below. Examples include (but are not limited to):    
 
1.   OPERATING MORE THAN ONE CHARACTER AT THE SAME TIME is  
     multiplaying.  Two characters on at the same time, whether they 
     interact or not, is multiplaying.  This includes having two 
     characters on, even if another player initially created one of the 
     characters.  If two characters are being controlled simultaneously 
     by one human, it's multiplaying.  Violating this rule will result 
     in immediate deletion of both characters involved.   
 
2.   ANY FORM OF TRANSFERRING EQUIPMENT OR ITEMS between two 
     characters controlled by the same person is multiplaying.  This 
     includes having one character hide items or money somewhere, then
     quitting and bringing another character on to get the items.  Storage
     characters (created to hold items for other characters) or giving
     equipment to another player's character while you bring on a
     different character of your own to take them back, is also considered
     multiplaying.  Any form of item transfer will result in a choice of
     punishment by the rule breaker: the violator can have both characters
     involved deleted, or have all characters but one under a player's
     control deleted and the remaining character de-looted.   
 
3.   USING INFO GAINED BY ONE CHARACTER WHEN PLAYING ANOTHER CHARACTER 
     is multiplaying.  You are NOT allowed to transfer information 
     between characters any more than you may transfer physical things, 
     and this includes motivations.  This also prohibits the recreation 
     of a character with the same name and/or memories as a prior char. 
     Violation of this rule will result in a choice of punishment by the 
     rule breaker: the violator can have both characters involved
     deleted, or have all characters but one under the violators 
     control deleted and the remaining character demoted.    
 
4.   HAVING ONE CHARACTER ON, LINKDEAD, WHILE YOU PLAY ANOTHER CHARACTER
     is multiplaying. Accidents will happen in this regard, and we as 
     a staff understand that.  However, anything but an immediate 
     correction of this circumstance will result in deletion of one
     character involved.   
 
5.   TRANSFERRING OR SHARING OF CHARACTERS is multiplaying. Your 
     character cannot be transferred to another player, nor can access      
     to a character be shared between multiple players. Violation of 
     this rule will result in all characters controlled by all players
     involved being deleted.   
 
6.   USING A PROXY TO CONNECT TO THE GAME is considered a facet of 
     multiplaying. The primary reason is that it prevents appropriate
     protection of the player base at large from being treated
     unfairly and being multiplayed against. Therefore, any
     unauthorized use of proxies, VPNs, remote servers, or any
     other method of obfuscation that could enable multiplaying
     will result in the deletion of any character that logs into the
     game this way. If you believe you have a legitimate reason to
     access Shatttered Kingdoms through a remote server, you may
     contact the rules manager to request authorization.
 
Violation of any single multiplaying offense as outlined above will be 
punished as indicated. If more than one of these rules regarding
multiplaying is violated, both characters involved will be deleted
and a siteban of the violator will be under consideration.
