12. KS-ing players on a Party (Rule available only on NoN PvP Servers/Maps)

Party full = 4/5 players

In arena, the spots are available on a first come first served basis. This means that if one full party is on the spot, you can’t ks them or you will suffer the penalty.

The player alone in one spot can keep the spot for himself and not have to party other players. It's not considered ks if another player or party (not full) comes and atacks on a spot where a player or not full party atacks if the player/party(not full) allready refuzed to join their party.

==========================================================================

Note: If there are 1 or 2 players AFK shooting on a spot and a full party wants to take over the spot they CAN NOT REPORT THAT PLAYER(s) FOR KS.
THE SOLUTION for this is to report situation to any admin by entering on our TEAMSPEAM 3 SERVER, on LIVE HELP CHANNEL and ask one of the available game masters to move that player or those 2 players that are occuping the spot where the full party wish to take over. You only need to leave a message on the channel chat

This rule has been applied due to those players that make a tricky fast full party just because they don't like a certain player and wish to report him for ban.

Guide to connect on our teamspeak 3 server: http://diablo-network.com/forum/showthread.php?t=15029

===========================================================================

A spot is free for all as long as is not ocuppied by a full party.

One player or an incomplet party is obligated to leave the spot if a full party comes to take over.

A spot occupied by a full party can be take over only according to the rulle of AFK

In an illegal KS/takeover (full party ks-ing/taking over another full party's spot) all the members of the offending party will be punished.

In the situation of arena's cages, all players from party must be inside the cage. In the situation of others map's spots, the componence of the party and the presence must be visible in print. Getting out from the cage or leaving the spot, of one or more players, brings the risk of a pk or take over. Only in cases when one or more players from party have no reset, they can stay away from spot but not to a far distance and not outside the cage.

When faced with a KS situation, a player must take the following measures:
- 1 screen-shot when killing mobs alone (with party) on a spot
- 1 screen-shot with the KS starting to happen
- 1 screen-shot with the KS-er refusing party 3 minutes after
- 1 screen-shot taken 3 more minutes later after the previous SS
- all above screen-shots must be taken with C pressed so we can clearly see on which server the situation occurs.
Note: If a player refuses to party, then the player requesting party can KS legally

EXAMPLE:

Player1(or non full party) comes to a spot where Player2(or non full party) kills mobs.
Case 1: Player1 starts to ks. This IS considered illegal KS.
Case 2: Player1 asks for party. If Player 2 does not want to party, Player1 can ks legally and will not be banned.
-if player1 asks for party just for the rule and then doesn't party we will decide a longer ban period, as this is an attempt to make us do errors of judgement.
Case 3: Player1 asks for party. Player2 wants party, everyone is happy.


13. The AFK rule(s) (Rule available only on NoN PvP Servers/Maps)

A player cannot let AFK shooting alone on a spot if by this action he KS a party full.

==========================================================================

Note: If there are 1 or 2 players AFK shooting on a spot and a full party wants to take over the spot they CAN NOT REPORT THAT PLAYER(s) FOR KS.
THE SOLUTION for this is to report situation to any admin by entering on our TEAMSPEAM 3 SERVER, on LIVE HELP CHANNEL and ask one of the available game masters to move that player or those 2 players that are occuping the spot where the full party wish to take over. You only need to leave a message on the channel chat

This rule has been applied due to those players that make a tricky fast full party just because they don't like a certain player and wish to report him for ban.

Guide to connect on our teamspeak 3 server: http://diablo-network.com/forum/showthread.php?t=15029

===========================================================================

A party full but AFK looses any right on the spot if another party full but ON comes and takes over the spot.

Party full but AFK means all 4/5 party members are afk.

A party full ON that wants to take over a spot from a party full but AFK, has the obligation to call admin and ask to disconnect the afk party. If at least one member of the party afk doesn't answer to admin for 5 min then the afk party gets disconnected and looses any right on the spot.

In the situation where no admin is online, the full party that wants to take over the spot, has the obligation to ask the party if someone is online,and if nobody from that party answers for 5 minutes (all have to be prooved by prints) move the afk party using lightning/skill or pk, and take prints with the moved party.If the afk party "wakes up" after they have been took over, they don't have any right over the spot.

The obligation of an AFK party is to have at least one member online, and to answer when someone asks.

ONLY a FULL party can take over a spot occupied by an AFK party.

In case that a party afk returns "from sleep" and they atak again on the spot, it will be considered ks to a party full and every member of the party will be punished accoring to the rulles of ks(even in the case of a single member, like wizzard, "wakes up" and moves the party on spot. All members of party will be punished)

To send prints you need one print when you come over the party, second when you moved the party , third when you attak alone on spot, fourth when the party comes back and ks.

If u dont have party full when you go to take over, you will be punnished for ks in arena.


14. Stationary on an occupied spot (Rule available ony on NoN PvP Servers/Maps)

Stationary of one or more player in an occupied cage by a full party it is not allowed.In order to make the prove of such fact you need a minimum 2 screens that have a difference of 3 minutes.For this infraction the account is suspended for 3 days.


15. Indecent Character Names

The Name of a player's character must not contain inadequate words like cursings, genitals or other offensive words.
Also the Player names can not be similar to GameMaster names, so players will not confuse GameMasters for normal players;
egg: Darwin > Darwln , in doing so leads to rule #2.

- in this case the respective player will be asked to delete and Rename his character
- in case the player is not complying his character will be deleted


16. Full Options item trade FORBIDDEN

You are not allowed to trade FO items

- You can't share your FO items with another player as long he didn't bought a set from our shop
- Players that will not respect this rule will get BANNED for a certain period
- If you shared more FO items with another player , donations will be taken back because it's not fair for someone to use FO items as long he didn't donated for them

Scam is the main reason since players share the items and then they won't get them back so we need to search on each and every account to refund them. Also it's not fair to do that since we are offering lifetime items refunding them even after you take a break of few years aswell as our hosts and payments can't be payed from shares.



17. Using Autoloot Clickers is FORBIDDEN

Using autoclickers that automatically collects zen, jewels, items is FORBIDDEN and will be punished according to the rules. It is not fair to collect stuffs while you are AFK so the punishment can lead up to Permanent IP Ban

You may use only the autoclicker from DiabloMu.com client folder which is a normal autoclicker that only clicks inside MU window even while it is minimized so you can do anything you want on your deskto, browser or whatever you wish to.





NB:

• A “suspension” is a temporary exclusion, whereas a “ban” is a permanent exclusion.
• All punishments within reason are up to the GameMaster's discretion up to and including IP banning for any offence.
• When multiple rules have been broken, this will be taken into consideration and the punishment may be greater than that of the individual offences.
• The player’s record of past offences will also be taken into consideration; all characters on the same account will be recorded together; i.e. a first offence on one character will mean the next offence on any character is treated as a second offence.
• Usually (remember that game masters always have the final saying) the Sanctions are :
  
  
• 1st mistake: 2 days ban
• 2nd mistake: 5 days ban
• 3rd mistake: 7 days ban
• 4th mistake: 10 days ban
• 5th mistake: 15 days ban
  
• 6th mistake: unlimited

HOW TO REPORT RULE BREAKERS WITH SCREENSHOTS

Thread I: http://diablo-network.com/forum/showthread.php?t=15

Thread II: http://diablo-network.com/forum/showthread.php?t=9331

It is important that you take appropriate screenshots. This means the maximum conversation log must be visible and legible while keeping the actual screen content partly visible.
Press F4 until the conversation window takes up the full height of the screen and alter the transparency of this window so that the writing is clear and legible, but not so that the window is fully opaque. (Maxed Chat Window)
Screenshots where very little of the conversation window is shown may be deemed inadmissible as evidence and dismissed.


PK-ing an admin is strictly prohibited regardless on which server.
First attempt - disconnect
Second attempt - 2 days BAN
Third attempt - 5 days BAN
Abusive PK - can lead to permanent account BAN


For all situations mentioned and not mentioned above, an Admin / MuMaster ( online when a situation occurs ) has the full authority to judge/resolve/punish a conflict/situation/rule breaker according to the rules of the server and according to the level of his Admin/MuMaster access.
