NOS Redux server rules
The rules for exploits, PvP, looting, macroing, staff help, housing, vendors, and conduct.
- Player killing
- Allowed
- Macroing
- Allowed within the rules
- Exploit reports
- Private support
Bugs and exploits
Do not duplicate items, bypass limits, break into property through a bug, manipulate transactions, or keep using a behavior you know is an exploit. Report it privately. The original Novus penalty ladder used jail and bans; serious economy, account, or service abuse may go directly to a permanent ban.
PvP and looting
Player killing is allowed. Loot from your own legal PvP kill is allowed. Do not loot a guard-kill exploit. Do not farm new or clearly weaker players simply to stop them playing, and keep real-world threats and personal harassment out of the fight.
The Duel Pits and official tournaments use the rules announced for that match. No looting unless both sides agreed before the fight.
Macros, spam, and public areas
Reasonable client macros are allowed. Do not run disruptive macros in banks or other crowded public places, gather unattended, manipulate packets, or use tools that reveal information the client is meant to hide. Do not spam speech, pages, support, or game services.
Staff assistance
Staff do not raise skills or stats, replace ordinary losses, teleport players for convenience, or give out items and gold on request. Evidence-backed bug corrections go through senior staff. Special items come through quests and events, not private favors.
Housing, vendors, and restricted areas
Player housing is not allowed in Chaos and Order areas. Do not block banks, roads, gates, teleporters, or other public services with houses, vendors, pets, or items. Special dyeing and staff services follow their published price and item restrictions.
