Inappropriate behaviour
Response Policy
Behaviour that disturbs other players' game experience but would not be defined as harassment is considered inappropriate behaviour. GMs will take action against such actions. Although GMs do not handle these issues, if such behaviour has exceeded a certain degree, a penalty may be given to the offender.
Online conduct has been established to help out the in-game community. Healthy growth of in game community might be disrupted if a GM plays the main role in such issues. Therefore, instead of actually getting involved in such issues, the GMs may think of the best way to have these issues resolved between players.
If you encounter any inappropriate behaviour, please make a report from "Help Desk" -> "I want to report a violation of the PlayOnline Member Agreement" -> "Others."
Examples of Inappropriate Behaviour:
- MPK attempts
This refers to actions in which the offender intentionally brings monsters to other players and makes them attack the victims. The GM may confiscate the offender's loot, or delete the monsters if confirmed. A penalty will also be issued to the offender and any players who aid the attempt.
- Monster holding
Holding a monster, especially Notorious Monsters, over an extended period or intentionally delaying the battle in order to adjust the next spawn window may result in GM involvement.
- Continuous (chat log) spamming
Spamming /tell, /random or skill increment logs to prevent other players' from chatting, regardless to intention, may result in GMs taking action against players if the action has disturbed others.
- Repeatedly delivering items to a certain player
Players who repeatedly send (unwanted) items to hinder the receiver from using the delivery system will be given either a warning or penalty.
- Gridlocking
This refers to actions such as blocking passages to mog houses in groups, or gathering near mog house entrances because the home point has been set there. These actions are not considered violations, but GMs may approach you and request you move away from the spot. If the player is not present, GMs will leave a message and move you to a nearby spot.
