+====== Revival Ragnarok Online - Server Rules ======
+{{tag>rules guidelines server revival_ro}}
+===== ❗ General Information =====
+If you notice someone breaking the rules, you can:
+  * Use the in-game Whisper **NPC:Report**
+  * Sign in at the Helpdesk

+===== ❌ Punishment Evasion =====
+Punishment evasion means trying to avoid a penalty by creating new accounts or using other methods to continue rule-breaking activities.

+  * **First evasion** → Permanent ban of all accounts
