Asheron's Call Code of Conduct



We request that before you start exploring Dereth's towns, dungeons, and wilderness, you take a moment to read the Asheron's Call Code of Conduct below.

What is considered inappropriate behavior?

  • Any behavior prohibited by the MSN Gaming Zone Code of Conduct or the MSN Gaming Zone Terms of Use.
  • Foul language as determined by Asheron's Call personnel.
  • Cheating.
  • Harassment of other players or Asheron's Call personnel.
  • Creating offensive names for characters as determined by Asheron's Call personnel. We reserve the right to delete characters or entire accounts as we see fit, without warning.
  • Arguing with or neglecting to follow instructions of Asheron's Call Administrators. The IDs of Asheron's Call Administrators contain special characters, such as the PLUS symbol [ + ].
  • Misusing Help and abusing channels in the game.
  • Hacking or deliberately using game bugs or loopholes to disrupt the game.
  • Hate speech, including but not limited to ethnic slurs and religious epithets.
  • Allowing your character to gain experience points by engaging in combat without being at the keyboard, ready to respond to an Administrator on demand (this activity is commonly called a "Combat Macro"). Logging off as soon as an admin appears (visible or invisible) or when an admin tries to speak with you will be taken into consideration in determining unattended combat macros. First time-combat macro offenses may result in a permanent ban from the game.


Note: The Asheron's Call Staff have final say over what constitutes a violation of this Code. The Zone and Asheron's Call reserves the right to change its policies at any time. Check this page for updates to the Asheron's Call Code of Conduct.

Remedies to inappropriate behavior:

  • A player who violates the Code of Conduct will be warned by an Asheron's Call Staff Member.
  • If a player continues inappropriate behavior, he or she will be contacted by an Administrator and may be locked out of Asheron's Call for a specified period of time.
  • If a particular player consistently engages in inappropriate behavior, the case will be referred to Asheron's Call Operations Personnel, who may permanently ban the player from Asheron's Call. Banned users will be sent e-mail explaining why they were banned to the e-mail addresses they have listed in their Zone Profile.
  • Some particularly serious violations can result in a lockout or permanent ban, without warning.
