Community Guidelines

18+ Server
If you are below the age of 18, you are not allowed to play here.  Our median community age is mid-20s and we wish to maintain a mature/healthy environment, given the themes within the game and the nature of the platform.
Should you be suspected of being underage, the Staff will ask to perform an ID check; this is carried out by an individual Staff member, and all information will be kept confidential within the DM. If you fail or do not comply with this this ID check, your accounts (including forum access) will be permanently banned.
If you suspect a player of being underage, please use the reports sub-forum with any evidence or DM a Staff member.

Forum Usage
The forum's primary focus is a place for game suggestions and IC postings, not arguments or personal spats. Light hearted jokes and back and forth are encouraged, and for the most part we're hands off so long as it feels productive and in good spirit. This also extends to venting departure announcements and emotionally charged posts (suicide, abuse, depression, etc), though some leeway is given depending on the details, but you should generally avoid treating the forums as an outlet rather than a middle-man for IC.

It’s additionally against the rules to abuse the reputation system on the forums. Examples of this include spam downvoting all of someone’s old posts because you’ve had a disagreement with them. If you see someone doing this, please report it so that the reputation spam can be removed.

Language Usage
Language in the Discord and game should be appropriate and non-discriminatory, while keeping in mind that minors may be present. Inappropriate use of language in a public space includes (but is not limited to) messages that are discriminatory of a person’s race, religion, sexual orientation, or gender. A specific example of inappropriate use of language includes might be the use of the broad term ‘lesbian’ as a derogatory, or giving a nickname to an in-game fantasy race that's a pun of a real-life racist slur.

This is enforced in-character, in LOOC, in OOC, on the Eternia forums, and within the Eternia Discord server. Outside of these spaces is not within our purview. We wish to remind you that over the course of time, thousands of people pass through the game, of different race, religion, gender, and sexual orientation, and we ask you to keep this in mind to provide a welcoming atmosphere to the game.

Community Conduct
Within official servers and channels associated with the game (including the game itself), it is against the rules to engage in the following: The posting of NSFW content, chat spamming (especially if malicious!), general harassment, this can include passive aggression in some cases.

Don’t attack or belittle IC happenings because you dislike them OOCly. The forums, game, and Discord server are not outlets for that. If you believe there is legitimate foul play (ex., metagaming) involved, please issue a report via the Reports Subforum.

Finally, don’t reveal sensitive information. This can include leaking private DMs, or revealing who is playing an incognito character. This extends to Discord groups/servers, where you should not be organizing OOCly or discussing IC information.

Don’t DM Staff About Tickets
In general, you should not DM staff members outside the game regarding tickets. Similarly, you should not DM staff members regarding in-game ongoings that should be handled via a ticket. Questions are always okay to ask, however, and if you have any major concerns or worries regarding a specific player (or players) you’re encouraged to make a report using the Reports Subforum.
