Here at Baldur's Gate: TSCC's we don't plan on being rule heavy. We have just a few simple guidelines to follow to help make everyones experience enjoyable. The main rule is just be cool and remember its just a game.
Note: If you share a router with another player (or internet connection) you must visit this forum thread and make adjustments to your .ini files. Failure to do so may result in banning of the i/p address.
Announcement: For players sharing a Router
1. This is a role-play server but you aren't forced to role-play. If you don't want to role-play thats fine, just don't ruin it for people who do.
2. Ignorance is not an excuse, it is your responsibility to read and understand these rules when you play on this server.
3. Absolutely NO OVERRIDES! If we catch you using Overrides you could be banned. It's pretty easy to spot someone using Overrides when they log in and the server ping goes from 64 to 150. Besides, overrides are useless as only you can see them and to everyone else you look bald, naked, or like a blob.
4. Do not harass anyone for cyber sex, use racial slurs, and insult their religion or their sexual preference. These have no use in this game or on this server. If you are reported doing this, you will be booted and or banned.
5. Please do not use famous NPC first or last names, no excuses. Do not put any titles in your name or biography that you did not earn. You are not a king, priest, noble, general, baron, etc. unless we state you are. These things will be reserved for exemplary role playing and lengthy events. Please do not use titles or character description in your name like "Deathlord", "Razoraxe", "The Fist", "Old Man", "Little Worm", etc. A character in violation of this rule may log in to find the character with a new name.
6. Unless you are reporting bugs/errors issues. The shout channel is for DM use only. If the DM is asking a question to the general server, reply on the dm channel or in party chat, and not in another shout.
7. Any exploits either known or newly discovered that are seen being used by players will be accompanied by consequences, such as lost XP/levels and or possible booting or banning, chances are if it seems like an exploit it probably is.
8. If your going to get into Player vs Player for ANY reason, be it racism, threats, ANY sort of conflict, offer them an OOC out of the situation, its ok to warn them that the next conflict is unavoidable, we dont want to limit RP but consideration should be used.
9. Some people don’t like PVP period and are uncomfortable with it, if someone says they don’t like PVP do NOT force it on them, forcing PVP on someone who told you they don’t want it is very bad.
10. If you have ANY problem with ANY player or ANY DM, do not post it publicly on the forums! Flame wars are bad for morale and generally not healthy for the community, if you HAVE ANY ISSUES WITH ANY PLAYER OR ANY DM send a PM with SCREENSHOTS to the DM's.
11. If one DM says something, don’t go to another DM and say "So and so said that this is the final word but I don’t think it should be so..." we keep in constant communication, and chances are if one of us sets something in stone it is because the staff agrees that it is set in stone.
12. DM events may not always be part of the lore in the sword coast, so don’t try to tell them otherwise, either enjoy your self or leave the event politely, though most stay willingly.
13. Don’t use the walkmesh in your favor. Using fences or rocks or anything else to block a creature that would otherwise normally reach you and tear your face off isn’t good. Please refrain from doing so.
14. Powerbuild rule - The following levelling rule is in place on this server to address powerbuilds:
You will need to have at least 3 levels in each of your classes by level 20.
If you are in violation of this rule, post in the General forums in the rebuild/relevel thread. If a DM has spoken to you about this, they will ask you to post on the forums. Your character will be set back to level one and refunded xps if you are in violation of this rule. Repeated violations will result in a character suspension.
Note: If you are starting a new class after level 20, please notify a DM via private message and we will make a note of it in the DM section. You will need three levels by 30 if you are starting a new class after 20th.
15. If you are deemed a nuisance to the forum or game you may be banned. This isn't your mom’s house. Don't complain, be argumentative or otherwise a pain. You’re not paying to play here and have no right to demand anything. If you are deemed as someone who is detrimental to the PW you will be banned.
16. No relogging after death to cheat the exp system. If caught doing this you will be docked exp.
17. Do not go AFK and leave your character logged in. A lot of people like to leave a PC parked in a zone with monsters and gain exp. If your caught doing this you could be banned. Its a serious no no as it kills the server with lag over time.
18. Please do not use WASD Keys, this creates packet flooding.
19. Please do not run any computer scanning, messanging, or file sharing programs while logged on, this crushes your computers resources and drags on the server.
20. No character rebuilds unless its under rare cirmcumstances. (Corrupted bic etc) Its up to you to make sure you build the right character for you.
21. Casting from the Quickbar while shapshifted is a exploit and should not be done. Only druids with Natural Spell should be able to cast while in their class wildshapes.
22. RDD has been removed. Please do not take this class or you will have to rebuild.
23. Do not grieve on someone, as in attacking them over and over, or after you have been beaten in a duel, get back up rebuff and attack again, or steal from them continuously. Also please don't harass, argue, degrade, or otherwise cause someone to have a bad experience. If we catch you acting like an ass, you will be warned/removed from the PW. This also includes doing the same actions against NPC’s.
24. If you Pickpocket someone you consent to PvP.
25. Walking with the Keyboard to disengage combat to recast HiPs is an exploit and is against the rules. You should never walk with the keyboard as it causes lag.
26. Read this: Custom changes to this world to understand which game mechanics have been changed that may have an impact on your character concept.
Note: If you share a router with another player (or internet connection) you must visit this forum thread and make adjustments to your .ini files. Failure to do so may result in banning of the i/p address.
