Trading for real money
All data contained on this server is property of our MU. You are not allowed to buy or sell game items for real money. Any attempt to profit from being a player in MU will not be tolerated.

Disrupting events
We try to run events regularly; however it is very difficult if there is a large gathering of people and some or all are being disruptive. When a MM is trying to make an announcement or give instructions during an event, you must remain quiet. Keep conversations to private messages (whispers). This is common courtesy.
Punishment:
Disconnection

Warning, disconnection, forum ban
How to report:
Pass on any and all information to a MM as soon as possible including suitable screenshots if necessary for investigation.
NB:
A “suspension” is a temporary exclusion, whereas a “ban” is a permanent exclusion.
All punishments within reason are up to the MM\'s discretion up to and including IP banning for any offence.
When multiple rules have been broken, this will be taken into consideration and the punishment may be greater than that of the individual offences.
The player’s record of past offences will also be taken into consideration; all characters on the same account will be recorded together; i.e. a first offence on one character will mean the next offence on any character is treated as a second offence.
HOW TO REPORT RULE BREAKERS WITH SCREENSHOTS
It is important that you take appropriate screenshots. This means the maximum conversation log must be visible and legible while keeping the actual screen content partly visible.
Press F4 until the conversation window takes up the full height of the screen and alter the transparency of this window so that the writing is clear and legible, but not so that the window is fully opaque.
Screenshots where very little of the conversation window is shown may be deemed inadmissible as evidence and dismissed.
Thank You
