The Administration reserves the right to modify the rules at any given time. Users disagreeing with any
change may ask for their account to be suspended or removed.
The e-mail address used during the account registration process is bound to it permanently and cannot be
changed. It is the user’s responsibility to ensure it's always active, accessible and secure.
Registering an account and playing on the server is free of charge.
Any appeals and objections concerning punishments and decisions made by Staff Members must be reported directly to
the Administration via an email to [email protected] within 14 days from their enforcement.
Decisions made by the Administration are considered final and will not be revised unless new information/evidence is provided.
An Administrator may overturn a decision or a punishment dispensed by other Staff Members at any given
time.
Any action considered malicious, harmful or immoral may be subjected to punishments even if not explicitly
stated in the rules. Such situations will be treated individually.
Stormforge Staff takes no responsibility for the loss of accounts, characters or any in-game goods. It is
in the users’ best interest to ensure safety of their data by taking security precautions (such as using a
strong password or 2-Factor Authentication) and not sharing their account information with anyone.
If any individual rule is found to be void, all the other rules still stand.
Social
English is the official language of Stormforge, including all in-game, public channels and related
community platforms. Using any other language can lead to message removal and potentially
suspensions/mutes/timeouts.
All users are required to treat other members of the community with respect. Posting content or messages
which, in the sole and absolute discretion of the Stormforge Team, are deemed to be offensive, unlawful,
excessively harmful, threatening, abusive, harassing, defamatory, vulgar, obscene, hateful, sexually
explicit, or discriminating in any way are strictly forbidden. Any attempts to circumvent this rule may be
punished as well. We encourage users to be friendly towards both Staff and each other.
Spam or any forms of abusive, unwanted, excessive messaging is forbidden.
Sending meaningless chains of characters, or causing unnecessary load on the servers with excessively long
or frequent messages is forbidden.
Advertising of any non-game services/goods is forbidden unless given exclusive permission from the Staff.

Insulting or disrespecting them will be punished very harshly. Additionally, accusing members of the Staff
of any corruption, collusion or other bias towards a group of players without presenting any evidence will
be considered disrespectful and treated accordingly.
It is forbidden for users to access any information they don’t have the right to. Accessing any posted
content is only allowed in ways that won’t interfere with the intended user experience of others. Sending or
posting content that would harm others' software or hardware is also forbidden.
Playing on Stormforge realms is a privilege. Any out of place comments or insults regarding the state of
the server or attempts to lessen the fun of other players may be punished.
The project relies on retaining and reaching new players. Any attempts at interfering with advertising

In PvP environments it is forbidden without exceptions.
Attempting to persuade or coerce a Staff Member to give the user preferential treatment, or provide them
