Game Rules

The rules here are subject to change, going with the possible exploits, bugs, and features. They will be changed whenever deemed necessary, and this page will be updated.

Here is a list of some actions that we consider unfair and illegal in the game. If you're spotting someone violating the rules, feel free to message an Administrator in-game with this command: +requesthelp <message>.

• 1. No real life threats or harassment - If you want to insult each other about game-related things, it's fine. But if you are caught doxxing, real life insulting, or any other kind of hostility that is NOT game-related, you will be punished.
  • 1A. Posting real life content without permission on discord is forbidden too.

• 2. No excessive racism/prejudice - FOnline is a brutal game, and racism is part of the game lore. But it's best to keep player racism out of the game (unless it is in-game roleplay). This goes alongside the harassment rule... Darn smoothskins...
  • 2A. National discrimination is considered too.
  • 2B. Religious discrimination is considered too.
  • 2C. Flooding chat with spam is forbidden.
  • 2D. Using trolling Faction tags are forbidden (No such 8-D or GM or insulting).

• 3. Staff Disrespect - Insulting or harassing staff will result in an immediate punishment. If you disagree with something a staff member says or does, feel free to voice your opinion. But keep the disagreement in a respectful conversation.
  • 3A. Wasting Game staff time for trolling, fake information, +requesthelp for no reason is forbidden.

• 4. Dual-Logging - In ANY situation where a dual-log could increase your chance of winning an immediate PvP situation, dual-logging is prohibited. This includes Dungeons, Town Control, Events, etc. Don't bother looking for loopholes. Dual-Logging IS allowed for PvE or solo activities. Be sure that before you enter a PvP location that at least 3 minutes (1 hour in-game) has passed since your last character was in the aforementioned location before entering with another character.
  • 4A. Using Multi-logs in cases of PvP and in public locations like dungeons is prohibited. When we mention that it is allowed in PvE situations we mean during personal dungeons, random encounters, personal quests.
  • 4B. While using multi-log on random encounters remember when another player will enter your encounter, your location becomes public and you MUST log off all characters except one.
  • 4C. Remember that 3 minutes count AFTER your character disappears from the map; it means after death you must wait 4 minutes.
  • 4D. Even when there is no PvP and you fast relog to a faction settlement you will get punishment.
  • 4E. Doing town preview on dual log/fast relog is forbidden.

• 5. Bug/Exploit abuse - If an exploitable bug or feature is found, you MUST report it immediately. We do not need you to test it, we do not need you to look for fixes, we ONLY need you to report it. We will find the fix ourselves. If anyone is caught abusing any exploit, before or after telling us about it, they will be punished severely.

• 8. Character Sharing - Character sharing is allowed, but will be done AT YOUR OWN RISK! If you share a character, and log in the next day with your base empty, it's YOUR FAULT. We will not compensate you for your lack of common sense. The Wasteland is a harsh place.

Additional note: Due to lack of insight Dual/Fast relog will result in a permanent ban.
