Official Dathoria Rules

Players must treat others with respect. Rivalry, PvP, guild wars and competition are part of the game, but personal abuse is not allowed.

• Racism, hate speech, sexism, homophobia, religious discrimination and political extremism are forbidden.
• Harassment, real-life threats, doxxing, personal attacks and encouraging self-harm are forbidden.
• Severe toxicity towards players or staff may result in punishment.

Character names must fit the game world and must not be used to offend, deceive or advertise.

• Offensive, vulgar, discriminatory or hateful names are not allowed.
• Names impersonating staff, tutors, administrators or well-known players are not allowed.
• Names containing websites, advertisements, random unreadable characters or rule-breaking messages may be renamed, locked or deleted.

Public channels exist for communication, trade and community interaction. They must not be abused.

• Flooding, spam, repeated messages, excessive capital letters and malicious links are prohibited.
• Advertising unrelated servers, products, services or external communities is prohibited.
• English is the official language in public channels. Private conversations may use any language.

Dathoria is a manual-play server. Any attempt to gain an unfair advantage is forbidden.

• Bots, cavebots, macros, auto-healing, auto-targeting, trainers and script automation are not allowed.
• Packet editing, memory editing, DLL injection, modified clients and external cheat tools are forbidden.
• Artificial intelligence, software, hardware or scripts controlling gameplay are not allowed.
• One physical key press must correspond to one in-game action.

Only the official Dathoria Client may be used to connect to the server.

• Modified clients, injected modules or tools that alter client behavior are forbidden.
• Programs that read, control, automate or interfere with the client are forbidden.

Players must report bugs instead of abusing them. Using a bug knowingly is considered a serious violation.

• Item duplication, money exploits, skill exploits, experience exploits and quest exploits are forbidden.
• Map bugs, NPC bugs, depot bugs, house bugs, protection-zone bugs and server vulnerabilities must be reported immediately.
• Players who abuse serious bugs may receive permanent deletion without warning.

Normal PvP tactics are allowed. Game-breaking abuse or unintended mechanics are not.

• Blocking, trapping or preventing gameplay through exploits is forbidden.
• Circumventing intended restrictions, safe zones, quests or server systems is forbidden.
• Actions that clearly harm the server economy, stability or community may be punished even if not listed word by word here.

Each player is fully responsible for their own account, characters and login information.

• Never share your password, recovery key, email access or account credentials.
• Losses caused by account sharing, weak passwords or unofficial tools are the player's responsibility.
• The staff may refuse recovery or compensation when account sharing is involved.

Selling or buying in-game assets for real money outside official Dathoria systems is prohibited.

• Characters, accounts, gold, items, services and hunting spots may not be sold for real money.
• Only official Dathoria Shop purchases are recognized.
• Donations do not grant immunity, special protection or permission to break rules.

Buying, selling or trading accounts is strongly discouraged and may be restricted by the staff whenever it threatens security or fairness.

• The staff will not recover losses from private account trades.
• Trades involving deception, stolen accounts or real money may lead to punishment.

Players may never pretend to be official representatives of Dathoria.

• Impersonating administrators, game masters, tutors, developers or support members is forbidden.
• False announcements, fake staff messages or fake punishment threats are prohibited.

Reports help protect the server. They must be truthful and made in good faith.

• False reports created to harm another player may result in punishment.
• When possible, include clear information such as character names, time, location and screenshots.
• Staff may investigate logs, accounts, trades, deaths and characters to protect the server.

The Dathoria Administration has the final decision regarding rule interpretation, investigations and punishments.

• Constructive criticism is welcome. Insults, threats or abuse towards staff are not.
• Situations not explicitly covered may still be punished if they clearly damage Dathoria or its community.
• Rules may be updated before launch and during server operation.

Punishments are applied according to severity, intent, history and damage caused.

• Possible punishments include warning, name change, mute, notation, temporary ban, character deletion and permanent account deletion.
• The staff may skip intermediate punishments in severe cases, especially cheating, bug abuse, real money trading or threats.
• Attempting to evade a punishment may result in stronger action.

Players are expected to respect the challenge of the game and the effort of other players.

• Do not use automation to replace gameplay.
• Do not abuse bugs to damage the economy or progression.
• Respect your opponents, respect the community and forge your legacy fairly.
