Tibia is an online roleplaying game in which thousands of players from all over the world meet everyday. In order to ensure that this game is fun for everyone, CipSoft expects all players to behave reasonable and friendly.
CipSoft appoints "gamemasters" who have the power to stop destructive behaviour in the game or on the official website by penalizing, banishing or deleting characters or accounts.
Such behaviour includes, but is not limited to, the following offences:
1. Names a) Names which contain insulting (e.g. "Bastard"), racist (e.g. "Nigger"), extremely right-wing (e.g. "Hitler"), sexist (e.g. "Bitch") or offensive (e.g. "Copkiller") language.
b) Names containing parts of sentences (e.g. "Mike returns"), nonsensical combinations of letters (e.g. "Fgfshdsfg") or invalid formattings (e.g. "Thegreatknight").
c) Names that obviously do not describe a person (e.g. "Christmastree", "Matrix"), names of real-life celebrities (e.g. "Britney Spears"), names that refer to real countries (e.g. "Swedish Druid"), names which were created to fake other players' identities (e.g. "Arieswer" instead of "Arieswar") or official positions (e.g. "System Admin").
2. Statements a) Insulting, racist, extremely right-wing, sexist, harassing or generally offensive statements.
b) Repeating identical, similar or nonsensical statements within a short period of time or use of badly formatted text ("spamming").
c) Advertising content which is not related to the game or offering Tibia items for real money.
d) Statements that are not related to the topic of the used game channel or forum board.
e) Inciting to violate the Tibia Rules.
3. Cheating a) Exploiting obvious errors of the game ("bugs"), for instance to duplicate items. If you find an error you must report it to CipSoft immediately.
b) Intentional abuse of weaknesses in the gameplay, for example arranging objects or players in a way that other players cannot move them.
c) Using tools to automatically perform or repeat certain actions without any interaction by the player ("macros").
d) Manipulating the client program or using additional software to play the game.
e) Trying to steal other players' account data ("hacking").
f) Playing on more than one account at the same time ("multi-clienting").
g) Offering account data to other players or accepting other players' account data ("account-trading/sharing").
4. Gamemasters a) Threatening a gamemaster because of his or her actions or position as a gamemaster.
b) Pretending to be a gamemaster or to have influence on the decisions of a gamemaster.
c) Intentionally giving wrong or misleading information to a gamemaster concerning his or her investigations or making false reports about rule violations.
5. Player Killing a) Excessive killing of characters who are not marked with a "skull". Please note that killing marked characters is not a reason for a banishment.
A violation of the Tibia Rules may lead to temporary banishment of characters and accounts. In severe cases removal or modification of character skills, attributes and belongings, as well as the permanent removal of accounts without any compensation may be considered. The sanction is based on the seriousness of the rule violation and the previous record of the player. It is determined by the gamemaster imposing the banishment.
These rules may be changed at any time. All changes will be announced on the official website.
