Revival Ragnarok Online - Server Rules

rules guidelines server revival_ro

If you notice someone breaking the rules, you can:

• Use the in-game Whisper NPC:Report
• Sign in at the Helpdesk
• PM Game Masters via their Discord profiles

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

• First evasion → Increased mute time
• Second evasion → Account-wide mute (all characters)
• Third evasion → Ban (further evasions count as ban evasion)

• First evasion → Permanent ban of all accounts
• Second evasion → Permanent ban of the IP address

Evading mutes by switching platforms (e.g., being muted in Discord and then using in-game chat) counts as evasion and will be punished accordingly.

These rules apply to both the in-game Main Chat channel and the connected Discord Main channel.

• 🇬🇧 101 - English Only - English only, so chat can be properly moderated by staff
• 🚫 102 - No suggestions/begging - No directing suggestions at GMs or begging for events, items, or zeny
• 🛒 103 - Use #trade - No buying, selling, or price checking in #main
• 🏃 104 - No leeches - Use #pr for FREE leeching only
• 👥 105 - No recruiting - Use #gr for guilds and #pr for parties
• 🔁 106 - No spamming/flooding - Don't flood the main chat
• 🆘 107 - GM assistance - Use GM Assistant in Prontera for help
• 👪 108 - Keep topics clean - Follow broadcast TV rules (USA)
• 🗣️ 109 - No accusations - Don't claim someone is a scammer/hacker without filing a report
• ❌ 110 - No complaints - Use the forums for suggestions
• 😡 111 - No toxic behavior - Any kind of toxic behavior is prohibited
• 🔄 112 - No off-topics - Main chat is for game-related discussions only
• 💬 113 - No 1:1 Messages - No speaking gibberish or calling non-existent players

Addendum: When trying to contact someone with a name that might break the rules (like “selling poring card”), use a clear structure: “Would the player with the name 'selling poring card' please PM me?”

😀 Be friendly to everyone! Isn't this what RO is about?
