1.1 Real-World Violence & Doxxing Permanent Ban

Any communication containing:

• Specific, credible threats of imminent physical harm directed at a named individual or specific location
• Doxxing — publishing another person's real full name, physical address, phone number, email, or financial information without consent
• Suicide and Harm — Pushing or suggesting an individual to cause harm to themselves.

Staff do not interpret context, sarcasm, or jokes. If a message contains a specific, actionable threat, the ban is automatic.

1.2 Advertising Other Servers Permanent Ban

Advertising, promoting, or linking to any other MU Online server, gaming server, or Discord server is strictly prohibited in any channel — including global chat, guild chat, private messages, or character names.

This includes "hinting" via leetspeak, spacing, or obfuscation (e.g., "play dot example dot com").

1.3 Server Disparagement / "Hating" Permanent Ban

Players may NOT make statements that actively discourage others from playing LunarisMU, disparage the server's quality, or encourage players to quit.

Prohibited examples:

• "Lunaris is dead, go play [other server]"
• "The admins are corrupt, don't waste your time here"
• "This server is trash, everyone should leave"
• "Don't donate, they'll just steal your money"

Allowed: Constructive criticism, bug reports, and feature suggestions submitted via official tickets or Discord — NOT in public chat.

2.1 Prohibited Software Permanent Ban

The use of any third-party software that provides an unfair advantage is strictly prohibited:

• Auto-clickers / Auto-attack macros (including hardware macros)
• Auto-pot / Auto-heal scripts
• Speed hacks / Teleport hacks
• Packet editors / Memory manipulators
• Any software that reads or modifies game memory

2.2 AFK Farming & Spot Rules

• AFK farming is allowed using the game's built-in auto-attack feature (if available). Third-party anti-AFK tools are banned.
• Spot stealing is allowed and unmoderated. Compete via out-damaging, PK, party invitations, or finding another spot.
• Staff will NOT mediate "spot stealing" disputes. The strongest character wins. This is MU Online.

3.2 Karma System — The ONLY Penalty

LunarisMU runs an automated karma system. This is the sole and exclusive penalty for PK activity.

By killing another player, you accept:

• Increased karma, eventually turning your character name RED (murderer status)
• Becoming a valid target for anyone without karma penalty
• Increased item/zen drop rate upon death
• Potential restrictions from towns, NPCs, or maps
• Potential inability to use personal shops or trade with non-red players

Karma decreases ONLY through automated in-game methods. Staff do NOT manually adjust karma for any reason.

4.1 All Trades Are Final

All trades — via trade window, personal shop, guild bank, or drop trades — are final. If you trade a +9 item for a +0 item because you didn't check the stats, that is your loss.

4.2 Scamming Definition (Narrow)

Staff will NOT intervene for:

• "I thought it had better stats" (you didn't inspect)
• "He said he would trade back but didn't" (verbal agreements unenforceable)
• "He scammed me in a personal shop" (prices are visible)
• "He dropped items and someone else picked them up" (drop trades are at your own risk)

4.3 Real-Money Trading (RMT) Permanent Ban

Selling in-game items, zen, or accounts for real-world currency is strictly prohibited. Both parties will be permanently banned.

Donation items (webshop items, VIP ranks, etc.) are non-transferable and non-refundable. If you trade or drop a donation item, it is gone forever.

5.1 Reporting Bugs

If you discover a bug, you have 24 hours to report it via the official ticket system. This includes but is not limited to:

• Duplication glitches (items, jewels, zen)
• Experience/level exploits
• Map glitches (going through walls, out-of-bounds)
• Stat/skill exploits

5.3 Duped Items

Any player found in possession of duplicated items (whether created or received in trade) will have their entire inventory wiped and account banned. Zero tolerance.

6.1 Account Sharing

Account sharing is strictly prohibited. Staff will NOT restore anything lost due to shared access.

6.2 Account Compromise

If your account is hacked or accessed without your permission, notify staff within 48 hours. However, the server does NOT roll back items, restore zen, recover reset counts, or reinstate lost characters due to unauthorized access.

You are solely responsible for securing your login credentials.

6.3 Password Recovery

Password recovery requests are processed via the website's automated system. Staff will not manually reset passwords except in verified cases of email loss, and even then, recovery is at staff discretion.

Character names and guild names must NOT contain content involving minors in sexually explicit situations (this is a legal requirement).

All other offensive content (slurs, hate symbols, drug references, sexual references, etc.) is ALLOWED per Rule 1.4.

Staff will not force name changes except for 1.1 (violence/doxxing) violations.

8.1 Obey Staff on Technical Matters

Staff instructions regarding server integrity, maintenance, resets, and technical issues must be followed immediately. Arguing with staff in public chat about a technical enforcement action warrants a permanent ban.

8.2 No Appeals for Chat Bans

Bans issued under Rules 1.1, 1.2, and 1.3 (violence, advertising, disparagement) are final and non-appealable.

8.3 Appeals for Anti-Cheat Bans

Players banned under Rule 2 (anti-cheat) may submit one appeal via the official ticket system within 7 days. The appeal must include video evidence showing the player's screen, task manager, and game client simultaneously.

If no video evidence is provided, the ban stands.

9.1 Assumption of Risk

By playing on LunarisMU, you acknowledge that server uptime, world integrity, character data, and item data are provided "AS IS" and "WITH ALL FAULTS."

The server administrators are NOT responsible for:

• Lost items, jewels, zen, or character progress due to server crashes, rollbacks, or database corruption
• Downtime, latency, or connectivity issues caused by DDoS attacks, hosting providers, or internet service providers
• Server resets
• Any losses incurred from PK, spot competition, or guild wars

9.2 Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless the server owners, admins, and moderators from any claims, damages, or expenses arising out of your use of LunarisMU, your violation of these rules, or your infringement of any third-party rights.

9.3 Acknowledgment of Unmoderated Environment

By logging in, you acknowledge that LunarisMU is a competitive, brutal, old-school MU Online experience. The chat is unmoderated except for advertising, disparagement, and violence/doxxing. You may encounter offensive language, harassment, PK, spot stealing, and scams.

Your sole remedies are in-game mechanics (PK back, change spots, use built-in systems). No refunds will be issued due to dissatisfaction with the social or competitive environment.

9.4 Acknowledgment of Karma System Risks

By logging into LunarisMU, you acknowledge that the karma system is fully automated and unforgiving. You accept that:

• Killing any player (even in self-defense) generates karma
• Becoming a murderer (red status) exposes you to increased item loss, vendor restrictions, and being hunted
• Staff will not restore any items, zen, or experience lost due to karma-related deaths
• If you do not wish to risk item loss, do not engage in PK

10.1 Right to Terminate

LunarisMU reserves the right to terminate any player's access to the server for any reason or for no reason, with or without prior notice, and with or without a refund (where prohibited by law, refunds will be prorated).

10.2 Rule Changes

Rules may be updated at any time without prior notice. It is the player's responsibility to check the official website/Discord for rule changes. Continued play after a rule change constitutes acceptance.
