1. Respect the staff.
- If a member of the staff asks something of you, do it as soon as possible.
- Respect does not mean kissing ass.
- No staff impersonation.

2. No 3rd Party Programs, No Bots, and No Dual Boxing
3rd Party Programs: macros, keyboard programming, or any other extra program that helps you play or cheat is *not* allowed.
Dual Boxing: one person controlling more than one char at the same time in game. This is *not* allowed. Play your own account.

3. Exploiting
- Exploiting consists of taking advantage of the game mechanics in a way that is not intended by the creators of the game, or the staff of this server.

Examples:
- Mob Pathing, Perching, or any type of action against an NPC where they can not retaliate.
- HTML exploits, or any method of obtaining items 'unnaturally'.
- Rift is a special case. You may not attack anyone inside the Rift rooms, you may not hate other players to make them exploit through doors, you may not exploit through doors yourself, and you may not steal other partes mobs/Raid Bosses, nor use Soul Crystals / skills on their mobs / Raid Bosses. Rift is a special, "instance dungeon" and is the only place this is not allowed.
- Shooting through gates, which is allowed *only* if the gate can be opened and closed (like the Zaken gate and castle gates), or if the gate is not a "solid wall" and it's possible to see your enemies through it. Anyone caught breaking this rule will be punished.

4. Chat
- Shouts must be in English!
- No flooding any chat channel.
- No negative comments about one’s race, sex, or nationality.

5. Accounts
- Users are allowed one account only. Creating two accounts or taking over a friend's account are not allowed. Users who share IP addresses with other users do not need to report their IP address.
- If you own two or more accounts, and do not want to get all your accounts disabled, then report yourself to a GM and we will let you keep one account. We appreciate honesty.

6. Shops
- Private shops are not allowed near NPCs.
- You are not allowed to block doorways, place shops on stairs (like in Giran) or block a NPC (gatekeepers or warehouse keepers).

7. Griefing
- We do not encourage griefing. However, this is a PVP based game. Handle it as you may.
- If you get griefed, handle it in game. Use any means necessary, provided it is within the rules of the server. The only exception is if you are being harassed by players significantly higher level then yourself.

8. Scamming
- Shop scamming is not allowed.
- Mis-typing prices etc will be factored into our decision. Overpriced shops do not count as scams.
- Purposely setting up a shop to scam players (i.e. shop sign with "varnish 1.4k" with Baby Spice selling for 1.4k) will be a punishable offense.

9. Selling:
- Buying, selling, or trading anything that is related to Infernum L2 for real money is *not* allowed and will result in a punishment for both the buyer and seller.
- Trading items or accounts to/from a completely different server is not allowed. Anyone who will be involved in such trades will be punished.
- If you need more details, please read the End User License Agreement or ask a staff member for clarification.

Not all rules are explicitly mentioned. We reserve the right to create new rules if the need arises. If you are not sure about a rule, please ask a GM.

I feel it is just as important to know your own boundaries as it is to know our boundaries, thus:

GM Rules

1. Taking yourself off the /gmlist and having whisper mode off, should only be used as necessary. i.e- events, checking a possible boxer/botter/exploiter etc. Be visible and available to the public.
2. No Favoritism.
3. No unauthorized transactions with a player.
4. No using your GM powers to help a player.
5. Players are our business, treat them with respect, and they will treat you with respect.
6. In most cases, we will be cops, not a help desk.
7. Do not interfere with player affairs unless it is observed they are breaking the rules.

If you find a GM violating his own rules, or if you think that a GM has done something wrong, you may report it through the forums or IRC.
