Age of Astir Server Rules (Terms of Use)

This document supplements the User Agreement.
If there is any conflict, the Agreement shall prevail.

1. General principles

Age of Astir is a fantasy MMORPG about the medieval wars of three nations: the Kingdom of Sankt-Felstein, the Empire of Latugan, and the Confederation of Varik. Players take part in large-scale battles for castles, control of resources and the title of “Dominion Ruler”.
The server is in a testing stage: the game client and server may be unstable, and game content may contain bugs or typos.
Accounts, characters and items are not the user’s property.
The Administration and Game Masters (GM) reserve the right, at their sole discretion, to change the type or duration of a penalty, to waive it entirely, or to apply sanctions for violations not listed in the punishment table.
To resolve in-game disputes or report a violation, a player may contact support@ageofastir.com.

2. Technical prohibitions

DDoS attacks, flooding, spam, hacking and injecting malicious code.
Client modification and third-party software: cheats, bots, macros, speed-hacks, input emulators.
Sniffing or emulating server network packets or protocols.
Bug exploitation (including dupes and geometry errors).

3. Gameplay

Nation wars. Large-scale wars and sieges are held strictly on schedule.
Use of multiple clients (multi-accounting).
3.1. General limitations
- A player may be logged in on no more than two characters (two clients) at the same time, regardless of the number of devices or connection methods used.
- Using three or more clients simultaneously is considered a gross violation and abuse of multi-accounting.
3.2. The only allowed cases for using two clients

To avoid ambiguity: only the scenarios listed below are allowed.
Any other use of multiple clients is considered a violation (see section 3.3).
- Trading inside cities (merchant character).
  A second client with a character used exclusively for trading is allowed, provided all of the following conditions are met:
  - the character is located in a city (capital or other city) in an official trade/safe zone (central square, marketplace, etc.);
  - the character is used only for trading: personal shop, auction, direct trades, item transfers;
  - the character does not leave the city limits and does not participate in PvE, PvP, events or any other activities outside the city;
  - the character does not provide any combat or gameplay advantage: does not farm, does not gather resources, does not scout locations, etc.
- Leveling a second character (passive experience gain).
  A second character may be in the same party as the main character, provided all of the following conditions are met:
  - the main character performs all combat actions and is actively controlled by the player;
  - the second character must not take an active part in the process: may not tank, deal damage, heal, buff, crowd-control enemies, loot independently, gather resources or perform any actions that give the party additional combat or economic advantage;
  - the second character is effectively only present in the party and passively receives experience/rewards;
  - any setup where the second character functions as a “helper window” (support, tank, damage dealer, resource mule, etc.) is strictly forbidden.
3.3. Prohibited use of multiple clients

Only the two scenarios explicitly listed in section 3.2 are allowed.
Any other use of multiple clients, even if not described separately in these Rules, is prohibited and considered a violation.
- Any use of more than two clients/characters by the same player at the same time.
- Any use of a second client outside the strictly defined cases in section 3.2.
- Any violation of the client usage rules (using more than two clients, or any scenario not explicitly allowed in section 3.2) results in a permanent ban of all of the player’s accounts with no possibility of unban.
“All accounts” refers to accounts that are in fact controlled by the same person. Sharing an IP address, device or place of residence (for example, spouses or family members playing from the same connection) by itself is not considered a violation and does not automatically lead to punishment. When investigating violations, the Administration evaluates the totality of technical and gameplay data and may block related accounts at its discretion.
Economy.
- Any real-money trading (RMT) — buying or selling in-game currency, items or services for real money — is strictly forbidden.
- Selling, buying or transferring accounts and characters for real money is forbidden.
- Advertising and brokering RMT (including links to third-party sites, chats, services, “middlemen”, etc.) is forbidden.
- The Administration is not responsible for trades made outside the game. In case of fraud, lost items or currency will not be restored.
- Any form of RMT and trading accounts/items for real money results in a permanent ban of all of the player’s accounts with no possibility of unban.
Geometry and bugs.
- Using texture glitches or moving through geometry in PvP zones or other locations to gain an advantage is prohibited.
- If you discover a bug, please report it to issue@ageofastir.com.

4. Chat and communication

Profanity is allowed unless it contains personal insults, threats or hate speech.
Discrimination, hate speech, extremism, propaganda and political agitation are prohibited.
Spam, flooding and advertising third-party resources without the Administration’s consent are prohibited.

5. Security

Each player is responsible for the safety of their account credentials and the state of their hardware.
Vulnerabilities should be reported to issue@ageofastir.com.
