By registering and playing Syrnia, you agree to abide by all rules outlined in this page.

These rules apply to all players. It is strongly recommended that you read the rules regularly to keep yourself familiar with current updates.

We reserve the right to add/edit the rules as necessary. These changes will be announced. All registered players using the Syrnia gaming environment automatically accept any changes to the rules.

If you do not understand a rule, contact the game staff for help.

• Syrnia is available to anyone over 13 years of age or older. If you are under the age of 13, unfortunately you will not be able to register to use Syrnia.
• If you are at least 13 but under 18, please also ask a parent or guardian to read and agree to the terms and conditions of this site.
  Parents and Guardians of users under 18 will be responsible for their minor's use of the site.
  They agree to the terms of use on behalf of themselves and any minor 13 or older.
• In consideration of our making Syrnia accessible to you, you agree to provide accurate current and complete information about yourself as requested in the registration form. If you provide registration information which is inaccurate or untrue, we reserve the right to not allow you to access Syrnia.
• We also reserve the right to communicate with you at the email address provided with regard to updates to the Syrnia site, changes of policies and your use of the site.
  This does not limit your right to opt out of receiving communications from Syrnia or other companies of a marketing nature.

• Players are permitted only ONE account per person to access the game. Violation of this rule will result in all accounts being frozen.
• No one (whether registered as a player with their own account or not) is permitted to access another person's account for any reason whatsoever even if it is a family member or friend. Violation of this rule will result in heavy punishments and/or being frozen.
• Players are responsible for anything said or done on their account with or without their permission. This includes intervention by family members or friends.
• Should family members or friends who are on the same network or shared computer wish to join the game, players must contact game staff first. In such cases, the following will apply:
  • If accounts will share a computer, only one account can be active and playing at any one time. Log out first before another player logs in using the same computer.
  • Players are required to inform staff of the username of all the accounts which will be under such conditions.
  • Do not play or login for each other. Entering bot checks for each other is considered cheating.
• Any usernames deemed inappropriate, offensive, spam-like or aimed to impersonate staff will result in the account being frozen.
• You can change your name only once per year, so please consider this when creating your character. For a name change, contact the Cheats/Multi department.
• Account trading of any kind is strictly prohibited in Syrnia. Do not use game chats, forums, in-game messages, other online games, or online auction sites to:
  • Trade Syrnian goods or game accounts.
  • Exchange accounts from any other online game.
  • Donate on behalf of others in return for Syrnia gp or benefits.
  • Swap items from another game for items in Syrnia.

Players are required to use English in the public forum and chat. Using any other language in these areas may result in penalties.

• Do not attempt to hack into the game or another player's account. Anyone found attempting this will have their account frozen.
• If you suspect hacking is taking place, report it to the Cheats/Exploits/Multis department immediately.

• The use of bots to control your character is not permitted. Anyone found using them risks having their account frozen.
• User scripts (for example, greasemonkey) are not permitted in Syrnia regardless of their function.

• If you find a fault with the game, report it to staff immediately.
• If you encounter a bug that gives you an unfair advantage over other players, do not exploit it. Doing so will result in the loss of any gained experience or items, and may lead to being jailed or frozen.
• Player deaths due to lag will not be compensated. This is because lag can occur for various reasons, which may be related to either the player or Syrnia systems.

• If you break any section of the Syrnia Rules Act, you risk punishment. All punishments are determined at the discretion of staff members and will be based on the severity of the current offence and any previous offences.
• The staff is not required to warn players before punishing them. The Syrnia Rules Act is the warning for all players.
• Repeated violation of the rules will result in extended punishments, permanent withdrawal of chat and/or forum privileges or your account being frozen.
• Player punishment is between the player and the staff. Third party intervention is not permitted. The staff has the right to ignore any questions from third parties and punish them for interference.
• Posting in the chats or forum on behalf of those who are punished is not acceptable. Anyone taking these actions will face punishment themselves.
• If you have a question about your punishment, you may consult the appropriate department for a clarification and the reasoning behind it. Remember though, that abusive or unpleasant language towards staff will not be tolerated.
• You may choose to further question the punishment in which case another moderator will review it, reply and finalize the ticket. Please be aware that this decision is final. Continual disputes after a final decision will result in an increased punishment.
  This is the typical sequence of questioning a punishment:

  1. A mod informs you of a punishment for your actions.
  2. You send a ticket questioning the punishment.
  3. A mod clarifies why you received the punishment.
  4. You question the punishment again providing more information and clarification of your position.
  5. Another mod reviews your ticket sending you the final decision.
  6. You have now received 3 communications on this one topic and it is closed.
  7. Asking or demanding that a senior mod replies to you is not an option.
  8. There will be times when a ticket will require more than 3 responses from the Moderation staff. This is solely at the discretion of the Moderator(s) handling the ticket.
• On the rare occasion where staff believes that the behavior of a player has reached a point where further action could result in a player account being frozen, the player will receive a Final Warning. Should the behavior continue after this warning the player risks having their account temporarily or permanently frozen.
• The rules are designed to make this a positive gaming experience for all. Every attempt has been made to cover all the known problem areas. However, if something new comes up that adversely effects the game play or the Syrnia community the staff will address it with warnings and or punishments.

• Harassing behavior towards players is unacceptable. Players found doing so will be punished.

  Harassing behavior includes but is not limited to:

  • Comments against someone in chats or forum threads.
  • Sending unwanted or offensive messages.
  • Sending unwanted or offensive whispers.
  • Sending sexual messages or communications.
  • Soliciting or engaging in sexual conduct, consensual or otherwise.
• If you feel you are being harassed by another player, ask them to stop and or use the Ignore Player option. If harassment continues send evidence to Registration/Game Information Department.
• If a player asks you to stop contacting them, you are to stop doing so. Failure to comply can result in punishment.
• • The staff can check whisper or message content between two players to ensure that no fake records were submitted. They can also ensure that one party has not attempted to antagonize the other.
  • If the staff finds that you were also responsible for the incident or were found to have been trolling in some way, you will be punished as well.
• You cannot solicit or engage in sexual conduct in this game, consensual or otherwise.

Players can communicate with the staff through tickets and reports, which must adhere to Syrnia rules and follow these submission guidelines:

• Be civil when addressing an issue. If the staff believes that you are harassing them it will result in a punishment.
• Inappropriate language or repeatedly sending in a ticket on an already resolved issue is unacceptable. The staff reserves the right to refuse to deal with inappropriate tickets.

• Please note senior mods review communication from players and will intervene as necessary. It is not appropriate to ask for a senior mod to communicate with you if you disagree with other mods.

• Please do not close tickets after you send a response. Closed tickets cannot be seen in the incoming section.
