Rules
Player Conduct
   Players are to be respectful to both staff and each other in the game. It has often been a problem where players act out of conduct, and things get out of control. That will not be the case here. For each action out of line there will be a penalty or punishment.

Harassment
   Harassment of another player through chat, message board, or private messages is prohibited. The definition of harassment is as follows:
  • to irritate or torment persistently;
  • to wear out or exhaust;
  • to impede and exhaust (an enemy) by repeated attacks or raids.
This includes using racial comments regarding race, gender, color, and nationality. It will also include rude comments regarding peoples' intelligence and personality. A put down is a put down, and will not be tolerated. Disagreements are expected, but we are hoping for the matter to be handled in a mature and orderly manner.

The purpose of being involved with a game that has other players is to interact with them in a friendly manner and work together. Friendly challenges are definitely allowed, but please keep any insults to a minimum, as some people are easily offended. There will be punishment for this conduct and they are as follows:

  1. First course of action is to be gently reminded that the conduct is inappropriate.
  2. If ignored, the accused will be banned from chat or the message board for five days with a warning to not do it again.
  3. After such action, if the harassment continues a banning of two weeks will be put in place.
  4. A repeat offender will not be dealt with lightly. Harassment is a serious offence. After reviewing the player's case by a staff discussion, a sentence will be determined, and a permanent banning may be put on your account.
Prohibited Language
   There is a lot that can be said on this topic so I will try to keep it short. This game is focused on players running from age 16 and up. Seeing as there will be young people playing the game, we do not want to have people acting as bad examples for the young teens. Swear words in some cases are allowed. We will not put specific parameters on this area, but please keep the swear words to a minimum. Please be aware that most of the offensive swear words will be filtered through substituted words so as to protect the younger players, as well as older, from offensive language. At some point there may be an option in the game where the filter can be turned off if a player desires. The point of avoiding harsh language is to keep a friendly atmosphere in the game. Things may occur, such as a disagreement, but avoiding the swear words and insults will help to prevent others who can see the conversation from getting offended and possibly involved, worsening the problem. Punishment for severe cases are such:
  • Those found to be using unacceptable language will be given a gentle warning in chat or by forced message from a staff member.
  • Those who continue to offend other players and the staff will be banned from the message boards or chat for two days.
  • One who is adamant about using swear words as their own personal language can expect to be banned for a time period of a week up to a month.
Bug Abuse
   Bug abuse will not be permitted at any time. If you should come across a bug at any time your immediate reaction should be to contact a manager or admin and report what the bug does so it can be fixed immediately. The game is designed to give everyone a fair chance to advance in the game through their characters. Some may advance quicker than others, but only through the player's hard work and determination. The use of a bug gives the player an unfair advantage over others and will therefore be punished. There may also be bugs that can hurt a person's account by lessening things, such as energy in a won battle, or taking gorpids away when they are found/won. If you come across such a problem, please report it immediately! It is not fair to ignore the problem and let another player come across the same path to experience the disadvantage. Punishment for this action is such:
  1. If a player reports a bug there will be a small reward given for their honesty. The reward will be determined by the manager or admin to help the player and fix the problem.
  2. Players found using bugs for their own personal gain will be punished by the removal of the extra component that have unfairly gained, and will be sent a warning and have their account marked for future watching.
  3. Players that use the bugs that take away from their account will be doing it at their own risk. Should you find a bug that takes away from your account, and use it repeatedly before reporting it, you can accept no compensation for your loss. Reporting it early will bring you a reward and fixing of your losses, and we encourage that you do so.
Hacking
   This kind of action cannot and will not be tolerated at any time. Besides being a nuisance to players and a large offense, it is also illegal! We strongly discourage any who plan to try from hacking into the game, user accounts and ad accounts. Unknown to many people, there are ways of tracking your moves and finding out who you are. Whether you do it for fun, or for some kind of twisted plot, DON'T DO IT. We encourage using proper conduct when playing a game and hacking is not acceptable. If caught your punishment could be:
  1. If you currently have an account it will be deleted and you will be forbidden from rejoining the game.
  2. If you are not a current player, you will be prohibited from making an account and joining the game.
  3. If you are an account holder with a subscriber account, the account will be deleted, you will be banned from the game, and you will not receive compensation for your loses financially.
  4. If you are found to be hacking subscriber accounts and obtaining payment information, your information will be taken immediately to the police where you may or may not have charges pressed against you.
  5. Some of these actions are serious offenses and can result in a terrible ending for the hacker involved. Please save yourself the trouble by following the rules. And please, if you know of anyone whom you think may be a hacker, report it immediately to the staff so it can be investigated.
Amendment
   These rules are subject to change at any point in time. As a player, it is your duty to keep your knowledge of the rules up to date. Vampire Quest cannot be held responsible for your actions, or the actions of the players in the game. If you have any questions, contact admin@vampirequest.net.

Players Responability
   All players are responsible for the account they have created at Vampire Quest. This responsibility includes:
  • Keeping the account active-Seriously inactive accounts will be deleted to create space for new players.
  • Changing passwords on a regular basis-It is suggested that a player changes his password monthly to prevent hacking into their account.
  • Acting and posting in a mature manner-It is not permissible for one player to make derogatory comments concerning any other persons gender, race, creed, religion, nationality or sexual orientation.
  • Holding themselves responsible for viewing of the player generated content of the game-Vampire Quest is monitored regularly, however there is no ban on cursing. As such, each player that signs up for an account agrees that they will not hold Vampire Quest responsible for any content that the player might find objectionable in a post generated by any other player.

  • Game availability-Vampire Quest will make the game available to any and all players under most circumstances. Lack of availability of the game will only occur in the instance of server or router failure/crash, hacking that affects the server and/or main data storage area, bad weather such as storms that cause power outages either in routers or in the main server or other unavoidable circumstance. Availability of the game will be returned as soon as Vampire Quest can possibly make it occur.
  • Player safety-Vampire Quest requires certain information from each player to ensure your accounts safe-keeping. This information is held in a secure area and is only accessable by the owner of the site. This information will never be given out to third parties. Your password is also stored within the Vampire Quest database and will never be given out. Staff members will never ask for your password as they have access to that portion of the game. If someone approaches you and asks for your password simply ignore them and report the incident to a Staff member. Your account safety is our top priority at Vampire Quest because without you there'd be no fun.
