1. Show courtesy to all. It costs you nothing and can gain you much.

2. DO NOT ASK TO BE STAFF!! If you ask to be staff Know that you will be the LAST to ever be offered a position here. Ask more than once and get ready to say good-bye to us!!

3. Staff has the final say in any and all disputes. Period.

4. IF YOU FIND AN EXPLOIT AND DO NOT REPORT IT, you become a party to it’s use. At that point you and the user of the exploit WILL BE BANNED!! PERIOD!!!!!

5. You get a Blessed Trashcan for Token's bag(BTT bag) in the Welcome Room. If you don't need it and can't sell it, please Trash it. Trashing it with your BTT bag will give you Tokens you can use to buy very cool and unusual things that can't be bought with gold. So it pays to use the BTT bag. Emptying corpses will also help the re-spawn and help the world's item count . A high world item count lends it self to Lagg, and lagg hurts us all, from players to the server. (See the In-Game Players Command area of the Forums for more information.)

6. When talking in <Public> chat do NOT cuss, get nasty, be aggressive, abusive or use any other rude mode of speaking. This is a family shard and many of our players are children so, if you have a problem, take it to a private setting and or page for staff help.

7. Staff is NOT here to give you things or replace lost items or baby-sit. They are here to help you if you find a game problem, to run events, and judge shard contests . Remember they are all volunteers with lives outside of the Xanadu-Rising world. Sometimes the Real World interferes and it can't be helped if there is no Staff available when you feel there should be.

8. Don't gate jump. If a moongate opens or is opened by another player, DO NOT GO THROUGH IT UNLESS YOUR INVITED!! This is just simple common courtesy.

9. This is NOT a PvP shard. Though some PvP is consented to, it is usually done in the context of an event or Staff sanctioned action. We do NOT allow Player vs. Player combat, except as a Guild training exercise and within Guild Halls. Anyone found to be PvPing outside of these areas is subject to banning with NO questions asked. PERIOD!!!!!

10. This is NOT a PK shard. You feel the game gives you the right to kill players and is no fun unless you can? We don’t want you and don’t need you. Gamer’s Divinity is a good Pkers shard. Go there. Have fun.

11. This is NOT a shard for Thieves. If you want or must be a thief, do it with the NPCs and leave other players alone. If you are found to be thieving from players without their consent or try to steal from staff, you WILL BE BANNED!! PERIOD!!!!!

12. DO NOT leave your pets/dragons/mercenary's in towns or at dungeons. Stable them, shrink them or set them free in the wild. If you own them, they are YOUR responsibility. If Staff finds them, it's the Staff's choice as to what happens to them. If you don't want to loose them permanently, take care of them.
