Community conduct
Keep the feud in Novus
The line between hard in-game rivalry and harm to the person behind the character.
- In-game rivalry
- Welcome
- Real-world threats
- Prohibited
- Private information
- Never publish
Role-play insults are not a blank cheque
The original rules allowed insults in role-play and recognized that PvP creates anger. They also allowed staff to act on excessive harassment. Rival guilds can hate one another in the world without following a player across services or targeting their real identity.
No doxxing, threats, or impersonation
Do not publish private information, threaten real-world harm, impersonate another player or staff member, brigade personal accounts, or use service attacks as part of a feud. Those acts are not Ultima Online gameplay.
Disputes and moderation
Argue about systems and staff decisions directly. Do not spam, dogpile, or turn every public channel into one case. Account, conduct, and security reports belong in private support with evidence and context.
