3. Cheating:
- Multi accounts (maximum of 3 accounts is allowed per person). If you are creating too many accounts or multis, action may be taken against all your accounts.
- Multi trades/transfers: including trading or sending things between the same IP address to your main account(s) (or between accounts who have shared the same IP before or have identified as being a multi). Unless there is a proper transaction, the trade/transfer is considered cheating. Any suspected trades/transfers to benefit a main account will result in in-game fines.
* Note: Multi accounts are not allowed to sell anything deemed valuable by the game dev to their main account at any price. If you are unsure of what is or isn't deemed valuable (for a specific item), you may ask an administrator. Else, assume the trade is not allowed.
- Hacking or botting: including hacks, automated scripts, auto refreshing, programs without user interaction, and/or repeated clicks or refreshes on a page before the page loads.
- No account sharing/selling/trading - All accounts violating this term will be locked.
- Bug abuse: Abusing, benefitting, or not informing a bug to an administrator is considered bug abuse. All accounts affiliated with bug abuse will be flagged. Regardless of whether or not you knew if there was a bug or if something was abusable; if it is considered bug abuse by an administrator or was not intended for the game, adjustments may be made to affected accounts.
Any reasonable amount of evidence that suspects you are cheating may result in your account being flagged or fined. This includes (but is not limited to) continuous "gifts" or transfers to an account without any proper trade.
If you have received a ban before, a longer ban will placed on your account if you are banned again.
