We are updating our rules regarding the use of alternate accounts and factions. First, some definitions:
- A main account is defined as the account which a player spends the most time on the server and is used as the name when referring to a particular player.
- An alternate account (alt-account or alt for short) is an account which has been used to log into the server by the same player using a main account.
- An alt-faction is defined as a faction being led by an alt account.
The new rules are as follows:- A single player can hold up to 3 factions maximum (one main and two alt-factions).
- The maximum number of alt-accounts a faction may have at any given time is 6.
- The number of alt-accounts in a faction may not exceed twice the number of main accounts at any given time (2 alts per main with a maximum of 6 alts total). The only exception is if an alt-account leads a faction with no other accounts in the faction. In this case, the leading alt-account can exist in the faction without any main-accounts.
- Alt-factions must have AF, DR, CO, or INC at the end of their name or the words "Alt Faction" in their description.
- Alt-accounts in a faction must have a title designating them as an alt.
We will give players a lengthy 1 month to sort out their alt-account and alt-faction issues and will begin enforcing these rules on Jan 31st at 00:00 GMT. In the meantime, the current rules will continue to be enforced.
FAQs:
These rules can be hard to keep track of. What happens if I mistakenly break them?
We will typically give players a 48-72 hour window to fix their alts before we step in to fix it for them. If a player is repeatedly violating these rules, we will intervene into the situation without warning.
What if a player does not fix their faction or alts within the 48-72 hour window?
Depending on the frequency of the player's violations, we reserve the right to take actions necessary to maintain the integrity of the server, ranging from kicking alts from a faction exceeding the maximum, disbanding the faction, or in severe cases, banning the player in question.
What if two players have logged into the same alt-account?
Any player that has logged into an alt-account in the last 30 days will have the account considered their alt. An alt can be an alt of more than one player. If two players share an alt-faction lead by a shared alt, the alt-faction will take up 1 faction leadership slot from both players.
