  2. Rules Related to "Chat", Interaction With Other Users or With .PlayerNet Games Representatives. As part of the game, you may communicate with other users both in writing and orally. Communicating with other users and with .PlayerNet Games representatives, in writing or orally, is an integral part of Chronicles of Arcadia and is referred to in this document together as "Chat". .PlayerNet Games does not eavesdrop or monitor the content of your oral communication . Your written communication may be subject to review, modification, and/or deletion by .PlayerNet Games without notice to you. Additionally, you hereby acknowledge that .PlayerNet Games is under no obligation to monitor Chat, and you engage in Chat at your own risk. When engaging in Chat in Chronicles of Arcadia, or otherwise utilizing Chronicles of Arcadia, you may not:
    1. Transmit or post any content or use any language, in writing or orally, which, in the sole and absolute discretion of .PlayerNet Games, is deemed to be offensive, including without limitation content or language that is unlawful, harmful, threatening, abusive, harassing, defamatory, vulgar, obscene, hateful, sexually explicit, or racially, ethnically or otherwise objectionable, nor may you use a misspelling or an alternative spelling to circumvent the content and language restrictions listed above;
    2. Carry out any action with a disruptive effect, such as intentionally causing the Chat screen to scroll faster than other users are able to read, or setting up macros with large amounts of text that, when used, can have a disruptive effect on the normal flow of Chat, or using tools that distort or interfere with oral communication of the users;

This includes but is not limited to the promotion, endorsement, or glorification of illegal drugs, excessive alcohol consumption, sexually explicit content, or any form of unlawful behavior.
  3. Rules Related to Game Play. Game play is what Chronicles of Arcadia is all about. Accordingly, the rules that govern game play in Chronicles of Arcadia are taken very seriously by .PlayerNet Games. Note that .PlayerNet Games considers all valid play styles in Chronicles of Arcadia to be part of the game, and not harassment, so player-killing the enemies, including spawn point and/or corpse camping, is considered a part of the game. Because Chronicles of Arcadia is a "player vs. environment and player vs. player" game, you should always remember to protect yourself in areas where the members of hostile entities can attack you, rather than contacting .PlayerNet Support representatives, referred to herein as "Game Masters," for help when you have been killed by an enemy. Nonetheless, certain acts go beyond what is "fair" and are considered serious violations of these Terms of Use. Those acts include, but are not necessarily limited to, the following:
    1. Using or exploiting errors/bugs in design, features which have not been documented, to gain access that is otherwise not available, or to obtain a competitive advantage over other players, including not reporting these bugs and steps to reproduce.
    2. Connecting, or creating tools that allow you to connect, to Chronicles of Arcadia's proprietary interface or interfaces, other than those explicitly provided by .PlayerNet Games for your use.
    3. Using tools that hack or otherwise alter the Chronicles of Arcadia client or server software.
    4. Using software products that "packet sniff" or provide scripting and/or macroing to obtain information from Chronicles of Arcadia.
    5. Using an account only or mainly to trade in-game currencies in Auction House.
    6. Anything that .PlayerNet Games considers contrary to the "essence" of Chronicles of Arcadia.

IV. Consequences of Violating the Rules of Conduct.

.PlayerNet Games may, in its sole and absolute discretion, take whatever action it deems necessary to preserve the integrity of Chronicles of Arcadia. Violation of any of the Rules of Conduct set forth above may result in actions being taken by .PlayerNet Games, effective immediately or at a time determined by .PlayerNet Games, which may include without limitation:

  1. Temporarily suspending your access to Chronicles of Arcadia,
  2. Permanently terminating your access to Chronicles of Arcadia (see Article XIII, Section 2 below),
  3. Modify a character or an Account, including without limitation, reducing or removing experience points, skills, levels, in-game currency or items; or
  4. Temporarily or permanently suspend, or terminate, your access to an Account that you use to access the Service. Without limiting the foregoing, .PlayerNet Games retains the right to decline service to any user who violates the .PlayerNet Terms of Use, the Chronicles of Arcadia Terms of Use and/or the .PlayerNet EULA.

V. Experience Reimbursement.

First and foremost, nothing in these rules will ever place a "duty" upon .PlayerNet Games to reimburse you by providing experience credit for any experience lost for any reason, unless such loss was caused by .PlayerNet Game's negligence. That being said, .PlayerNet Games may, at its sole and absolute option, determine to reimburse experience lost by players in certain extreme and unusual situations. For instance, .PlayerNet Games may decide to reimburse experience lost in the event of a catastrophic server failure. In no event is .PlayerNet Games obligated to provide any monetary reimbursement or monetary credit.

VI. Selling of Items.

Remember, at the outset of these Terms of Use, where we discussed how you were "licensed" the right to use Chronicles of Arcadia, and that your license was "limited"? Well, here is one of the more important areas where these license limitations come into effect. Note that .PlayerNet Games either owns, or has exclusively licensed, all of the content which appears in Chronicles of Arcadia. Therefore, no one has the right to "sell" .PlayerNet Game's content, except .PlayerNet Games! So .PlayerNet Games does not recognize any property claims outside of Chronicles of Arcadia or the purported sale, gift or trade in the "real world" of anything related to Chronicles of Arcadia. Accordingly, you may not sell, purchase or offer virtual items for "real" money or exchange items outside of Chronicles of Arcadia. Please note that .PlayerNet Games is entitled to and will prevent any such illegal sales.

VII. Online Duration.

Chronicles of Arcadia is an 'on-line' game that must be played over the Internet through the Service, as provided by .PlayerNet Games.

However, .PlayerNet Games reserves the right to temporarily suspend the Service for maintenance, testing, replacement and repair of the physical equipment related to Chronicles of Arcadia, as well as for transmission interruption or any other operational needs of the system. .PlayerNet Games will provide you with 12 hours advance notice of any temporary suspension of Chronicles of Arcadia on Chronicles of Arcadia’s log-in screen, except in case of urgency. .PlayerNet Games agrees to provide the servers and software necessary to access the Service until such time as Chronicles of Arcadia is "Out of Publication." Chronicles of Arcadia shall be considered "Out of Publication" following the date that Chronicles of Arcadia is no longer manufactured and/or distributed by .PlayerNet Games, or its affiliates. Thereafter, .PlayerNet Games may, in its sole and absolute discretion, continue to provide the Service or license to third parties the right to provide the Service. However, nothing contained herein shall be construed so as to place an obligation upon .PlayerNet Games to provide the Service beyond the time that Chronicles of Arcadia is Out of Publication. In the event that .PlayerNet Games determines that it is in its best interest to cease providing the Service, or license to a third party the right to provide the Service, .PlayerNet Games shall provide you with no less than three (3) months prior notice. Neither the Service nor .PlayerNet Game's agreement to provide access to the Service shall be considered a rental or lease of time on or capacity of .PlayerNet Game's servers or other technology.

VIII. Testing, Maintenance, and Other Potential Interruptions in the Service.

.PlayerNet Games shall give users notice on the Chronicles of Arcadia "Home Pages" prior to .PlayerNet Games installing software upgrades, performing testing, or performing maintenance on the servers, data transmission lines, and other systems related to Chronicles of Arcadia, and/or in the manner set forth in Article XII, below, whenever possible. Note that it is your responsibility to be aware of such notices, and you hereby acknowledge and agree that .PlayerNet Games shall not be responsible for any damages which may arise from your failure to read and/or be aware of these publicly posted notices. Additionally, .PlayerNet Games may be required to "shut down" one or more servers to repair the hardware, or software, related to Chronicles of Arcadia. While it is .PlayerNet Game's intention to provide the Service all day, every day, you hereby acknowledge that .PlayerNet Games reserves the right to temporarily suspend the Service for maintenance, testing, replacement and repair of the telecommunications equipment related to Chronicles of Arcadia, as well as for transmission interruption or any other operational needs of the system.

Exchange and/or purchase of game currency without knowledge of current information is at own risk.
