(Expand all sections)

In-Game Rules​
  1. No unattended gathering.
    More
    Unattended gathering results in jail time and any ill-gotten goods will be deleted. In cases of repeated violations the punishments given can become incrementally more severe and could result in permanent loss of your account(s).
    Trying to circumvent checks by dropping items to the ground or logging out does not exclude you from being actioned.

    This applies to everything, not just resources. In particular:
    • Mining
    • Fishing
    • Lumberjacking
    • Turning in or collecting BODs
    • Buying from or selling to NPC vendors
    • Taming
    • Looting
    • Farming Doom artifacts, minor artifacts, lesser Treasures of Tokuno or other drops
    • House placement
    • IDOC scavenging
    • Collecting quest rewards
    • Creating food
    Non-tangible items and knowledge can also be considered a resource, in particular:
    • Champion spawn activity
    • House decay times
    • Artifact spawns
    • Creature spawns
    The lists above are only examples and are not exhaustive. Consider any unattended activity carefully before execution.
  2. Respect staff.
    More
    Staff on Demise volunteer their time to improve your game experience. Harassment of staff will not be tolerated. Staff instructions are final and are to be followed. The volunteer staff on Demise do an amazing but difficult job and all staff are trained to a level appropriate for their role. Be polite and respect them and they will respect you.

    In the unlikely event you disagree with a staff member's action or instruction, you should still follow that staff member's guidance without question. You can then raise any grievances after the event with an administrator.
  3. Do not grief other players.
    More
    In Trammel ruleset facets this includes:
    • Luring monsters, pet releasing
      Note: you could receive murder counts for this.
    • Blocking ghosts
    • Blocking off game play areas with items or boats, making them otherwise inaccessible
    • Vulgarity/Racism
      Note: UO does offer a player speech filter.
    • Harassment
    In Felucca it is limited to:
    • Blocking ghosts
    • Blocking off game play areas with items or boats, making them otherwise inaccessible
    • Vulgarity/Racism
  4. Do not multi client in combat.
    More
    This is defined as the use of one or more extra clients in an area that provide you with an advantage in combat or separate clients involved in combat in different locations.

    This includes but is not limited to these examples:
    • Having extra clients at a champion spawn running a detect hidden macro.
    • Being engaged in combat with monsters in different areas regardless of facet.
    • Being involved in PvM and PvP combat at the same time.
    Note: An alternate character may be kept close, unautomated. It is the player's responsibility to ensure only one character is in combat at any given time.
  5. Use acceptable names.
    More
    • Do not create offensive names, including character names, pet names, house names, or names/engravings on any items that other players may see.
    • Using the name of a current staff member or attempting to impersonate any staff member is not acceptable.
    • Names found to be in violation of any of the above will be renamed to a generic alternative.
  6. Construct acceptable houses.
    More
    • Items may not be placed in houses such that they exceed the height of a 3-story customizable house.
    • Houses should not block passage on any side, other than a 1 tile impediment. This includes any outward opening doors.
    • Offensive imagery on any houses is not acceptable and may result in your house being demolished.

Instant Ban Offenses
The following offenses will not be tolerated on Demise, and will result in immediate termination of your account(s) and/or access to the shard:
  • Attempting to obtain unauthorized access to another player's accounts.
  • Advertising other shards.
  • Exploiting game mechanics resulting in serious detrimental effects.
  • Trading in-game items for non in-game items (such as items on other shards, or IRL items).
  • Being over the account limit, unless an exception has been granted.
  • Ban evading.

Accounts
  • Do not exceed 4 accounts per household.
    This is not per player or per IP address; if multiple people play then the total number of accounts must not exceed 4. Extra accounts may be granted depending on the number of people living in your household (contact an administrator for this).
  • Do not share your account information.
    Your account belongs only to you the individual and sharing you account could exclude you from receiving assistance with account related issues.
  • Never reveal your password.
    This includes staff members. Staff member cannot see passwords as they are encrypted and a staff member will never need to have or ask for your password.
Note:
Accounts are marked inactive when not logged into for 90 days, causing houses to enter decay. Accounts that have not been logged into for more than 1 year risk being purged.

For issues/questions regarding your account please send in a help request in-game, or contact a Demise Administrator via private message.

Client
We recommend the use of the classic 2D client in conjunction with Razor as outlined in our How To Connect guide. This is the only combination of software we can offer support and compatibility for.
  • Other clients and assistants can be used as long as they are used within the shard rules outlined on this page.
  • Use of other programs besides those recommended by us are done so at your own risk. Running any such software could result in loss of items, damage to your computer or even compromise personal information on your PC. Be sure you have obtained any other programs from a trusted and reputable source.
Some users may feel the need to use a VPN or proxy to improve their connection to the server. Whilst we understand why people choose to do this we do not advocate the use of any such service. If you do choose to connect in this way it makes it very likely that your account(s) will get linked to other people's accounts, meaning you could receive a ban for being over the account limit. Although we try to mitigate against this when doing these bans, it is very difficult, and in such cases it is up to you to prove your innocence rather than us to prove your guilt.

Scamming
Scamming is allowed within normal game mechanics. Pay close attention when trading anything as we cannot return lost items. There is a "Guide to Bad Trades" book in Luna bank which outlines some examples.

You should also be very careful when running macros/scripts as some of these could be harmful. Running a bad macro/script could result in loss of items or even compromise your personal information, so be sure you have received them from a trusted source. Any macros/scripts you run are done so at your own risk.

Forums/Discord Usage
Please keep all discussion on the forums/Discord civil, and respect special rules outlined for each subsection if present. Trolling, flaming and personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Violation of the rules outlined above will result in jail time and/or suspension of your account. In all cases we reserve the right to use staff discretion. Staff will not replace any lost/stolen items, pets, houses or characters ever.
