Conduct
Creating a user and participating in the Merchant Empires universe for any other purpose aside from
simply playing the game is not allowed. Using profanities and harassing other players through repeatedly
sending offensive messages is forbidden. While it is fine to harass your enemies with the occasional
message (role-playing), behavior that goes to extremes on this level is forbidden.
Users that violate these simple rules of conduct will find themselves suspended. If necessary, a user's
ISP will be contacted if the user's behavior is severe and damaging to gameplay. This is only true in cases
where the suspended user insists on creating accounts using alternate email addresses.
Cheating
A list of most things that are considered as cheating:
- Using any type of scripting for merchant actions - example: trade bots
- Use of more than one merchant per game (by creating multiple users)
- Taking advantage of an exploit or bug that you find in the game
- To repeatedly kill another merchant, especially if agreed on, to change one's status beyond what is
possible in normal gameplay
Users that have been found cheating usually find themselves suspended, or appropriately punished by the
game admins.
Guidelines for resolving cheat accusations
- If you feel that a player or players are cheating or perhaps taking advantage of a bug or an exploit,
contact the Admins, who will then investigate the situation.
- If you find an exploit and message an Admin about it, you will be rewarded by the Admins at their
discretion.
- If you find an exploit and do not report it, but instead use it, you will also be rewarded by the Admins,
but not necessarily in a way that you will like!
