Hate
Mongering - participation in or propagation of Hate literature,
behavior, or propaganda related to real -world characteristics.


Sexual Abuse or Harassment - untoward and unwelcome advances
of a graphic and sexual nature. This includes graphical descriptions
of sexual acts, overt sexual overtures, and stalking of a sexual
nature.

Petitioning with untrue information with the intention of receiving

Impersonating a Customer Service Representative -

Using Threats of
Retribution by GM Friends - attempting to convince another player
that they have no recourse in a disagreement because favoritism is
shown to one of the parties by Funcom or the FoA staff.

Note:
We encourage role-playing in the game and on the role-playing
conference, but remember that role-playing is no excuse for
harassment.

If you want to play an obnoxious role, you have a
great responsibility to avoid hurting other people’s feelings.
These social guidelines take precedence over role-playing in a
conflict.

Exploitation

You will not exploit any
bug in Age of Conan and you will not communicate the existence of any
such exploitable bug (the definition of bugs like this is: a bug that
grants the user unnatural or unintended benefits in game), either
directly or through public posting, to any other user of Age of
Conan. You will promptly report any such exploit via
[Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien]
address and never use it again.

An exploit in the game is a
bug or design error that makes it possible for characters to fight
monsters, solve quests, or earn money that normally should be out of
that character’s reach. Funcom is actively working to remove
exploits from the game.

An exploit is regarded as a bug that
we have to fix. We expect players to inform us about exploits, not
tell other players about their discovery and to not use the exploit
after they have found it. Exploits could lead to suspension of your
account or banning. This has happened to some accounts already.

The
investigating of exploits in Age of Conan is based on two sources of
information: Reports from players and reading through logs. All
reports received through mail and petition are used to get exploits
out of the game.

In addition, we are able to find detailed
information about characters. This is used to find characters that
have disproportionate amounts of credits or are augmenting in level
faster than we would expect.

It is important not to spread
information about exploits after they have been discovered, as the
team needs time to solve the problem. It is dangerous to tell you
that we are working on a fix, because this information could lead to
more people learning about the exploit and using it. While the team
is working on it, please do not tell anybody about the
exploit.

Naming Policy

The goal of the naming
policy is to promote the feeling of being immersed into the world of
Age of Conan. These policies apply to all player names, regardless
how long it has been since they were created. Use of the following
will be restricted:

1. Names that are profane, racist, drug
references, trademarks or obscene are not allowed; this also applies
to any [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien],
phonetic misspelling, obvious [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien],
combination, or reverse spelling.

2. Names that are created to
defame or impersonate another character are not allowed. This
includes names of GMs/FoAs/Funcom employees.


3. Names that are created using terms
and/or items that do not exist in the world of Conan. Such as “robot”
or “ninja”, or “Robotninja.”


4. Names of NPCs already existing in
the game or any of the related works associated with Robert Howard
and the Age of Conan game world. This includes any of the deities
associated with the Conan pantheon.

If you wish to appeal a
name change please send a mail to [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien].
Include your previous name, new name, server name, and account name.
