How to Avoid Suspension in UO Apr 15 2002 10:52AM CST (GMT -06:00)
In Ultima Online, a common question players often ask is what is "legal" and what is not.People hear the words "grief tactics," "exploits," and "harassment," and don't always understand what the differences are.
To help clarify some of the things that can lead to trouble, we've compiled some guidelines to help players avoid getting into trouble in Ultima Online. These will also be added into our Game Wizard and into the Playguide here at UO.com.
Read and understand the Rules of Conduct.
They are a guideline for in-game behavior.
Ultima Online is a public forum. Derogatory language or content of a sexual, religious, or racial nature is NEVER acceptable in-game.
Do not attempt to improve a character in any way (this includes increasing skills, stats, or acquiring items) by using an object or creature to block or prevent any normal damage that could be incurred.
Always be honest about services and exchanges that are provided in-game. These include, but are not limited to, gating a player to a wrongful destination, fulfilling a trade or exchange, and any services that one can provide through a craft or skill.
Do not exploit any bug in the UO game or the UO Service to gain an unfair advantage, and do not reveal any bug (either directly or through public posting) to any other user of the Ultima Online Service.
Do not page the help queue excessively. If a GM tells a player to do something or to avoid doing something, that player should comply. Excessive pages into the help queue take valuable support resources that could be better spent focusing on the calls that warrant immediate attention. Any complaints, concerns or comments about the service provided by a GM should not be directed to the help queue, but should be emailed, along with all the relevant information, to gmreviews@uo.com.
Do not use any third party programs in conjunction with UO that you cannot find listed at http://support.uo.com/uopro.html. - even if you do not feel the program gives an unfair advantage. If a program is not on the UO website, it is not allowed. Not only can this cause a player to be suspended, but use of these programs may also cause damage to your computer.
Be honorable in game. While it is acceptable to role-play someone evil, it is prohibited to cause distress, unwanted attention or discomfort to another player. This includes grief tactics, which is defined as a style of play designed to purposely ruin the game play of another using game mechanics.
Note that a different code of conduct is used in Trammel than that used in Felucca, which means that certain play styles are acceptable on Felucca that are not on Trammel. Examples include but are not limited to:
Do not attempt to kill another player in Trammel without mutual consent.
Do not lead monsters to public areas in Trammel.
Do not release pets in densely populated areas in Trammel.
Do not mislead young players into joining guilds.
Do not mislead someone in an attempt to be able to issue them a murder count.
Some play styles are not acceptable on either facet. These include but are not limited to:
Do not prevent a player from looting their corpse.
Do not gate or trap players into a location where they die instantly or where players can block an exit and can kill and loot them.
Do not gate other players into your house to kill them, either directly or indirectly.
Do not use a boat or any other object to block mining or any other resource-gathering locations. If a boat is parked on a coast and is blocking mining resources, the boat will be deleted and the owner’s account noted.
Do not attempt to play Ultima Online while away from your computer. This includes attempts to gain skills and wearing off murder counts.
