Staff & punishments
1. Names
- Character, guild and house names must fit an old-world RPG. No insults, politics, real-life advertising, or names that impersonate staff.
- Letters and spaces only. No digits in character names.
- Staff may rename or delete a name that breaks this. You do not get a free replacement name.
2. Chat and community
- Default, Help, Trade, Guild and Discord follow the same spirit: no hate, racism, sexual talk aimed at minors, real-life threats, or doxxing.
- Help is for game questions, not idle chat. Trade is for in-game gold, items, houses and official website markets. Advertising real-money sales is forbidden.
- Insults with intent, spam (repeating the same line), and flooding channels can mute you. Ignore a provocateur instead of feeding them.
- English is the default public language. Other languages are fine in private messages and guild chat if everyone there agrees.
3. Gameplay
- Bots, macros that play for you, speed hacks, packet tools and memory editors are forbidden. One proven case can ban the whole account and related IPs.
- Multi-client is allowed only if you play all characters yourself. A bot on any extra client is still a bot.
- Do not block a hunt, quest door, boat, depot tile or spawn for more than 15 minutes unless you are in an active guild war and staff judges it as battle, not grief.
- Power-abusing the same victim to force a red skull, steal corpses by trap, or farm unjustified kills on purpose will be punished.
- UH-trapping, luring and old-school PvP are part of this climate. Crossing into real-life harassment is not.
- No unofficial casinos in depots. Friendly dice in a house is your own risk; staff will not restore stolen stakes.
4. Bugs
- If something is clearly broken, stop using it and report it (Ctrl+Z in-game, or Discord). Using a bug for gain can wipe the account.
- Duping, map holes, NPC price bugs, Soul or market exploits, and GearForge abuse are treated as severe.
- A useful report of a serious bug may be rewarded. Silence while you farm it will not.
5. Accounts and characters
- The account belongs to the person who created it. Staff can always restore it to that owner.
- Selling or buying accounts or characters for real money is forbidden, except through the official Character Bazar on this website (in-game gold, platinum, crystal or Soul as listed there).
- Sharing an account is at your own risk. If your friend breaks the rules on it, the account is still yours to lose.
- Hacking another account, phishing, or recovering an account that is not yours is a permanent ban.
6. Soul and server support
- Retro Mirage has no pay-to-win shop. There are no extra coins, no cash outfits, no bought skills.
- Soul is the same bar used to conjure runes. Hunting fills it. A confirmed donation fills it for every player online at that moment. Offline characters get nothing.
- Rates are shown on the Soul page. Overflow above your bar goes to the Soulchanger vault on that character. The vault can only be spent at Soulchanger. No withdraw. No sending Soul to another character.
- A donation is a gift to keep the world running. It is not a purchase of power. Staff do not refund because you died, quit, or missed being online.
- Do not advertise unofficial middlemen for Soul or gold. Chargebacks and payment fraud are a permanent ban.
7. Official markets
- Item Market: list from the ammo slot with
!marketsell, buy with !marketbuy ID. The item leaves you before it is listed. Soul listings take 10% from the vault to list and the buyer pays 10% extra.
- Character Bazar: only on this website while logged in. The character must be offline, out of a house and guild. Official listings are allowed. Deals outside this page for real money are not.
- Scamming on official markets (wrong description on purpose, refusing a completed sale) can lock market access or the account.
8. Staff and punishments
- Gamemasters may mute, kick, jail, ban, delete characters or accounts, reverse illegal items, and log IP and submitted data.
- Arguing a punishment in public chat is not a defence. Use Discord or a ticket. Ban evasion (new accounts on the same household to skip a ban) extends the punishment.
- Impersonating staff is a deletion.
- These rules are not a contract for unlimited play. Retro Mirage may close, wipe or change systems. Your time here is a game, not a property right.
Have fun in Retro Mirage. Play as if the world is old and the people in it are real.
