Updating Rule 6 and Rule 7

Post by ardesia »

Things in a MMORPG never cease evolving: community, contents, habits and - of course - rules.
The game staff is constantly monitoring rules and ready to update them, with the goal of keeping them as fair as possible.

At the present moment, we are updating Rule 6 and Rule 7.
On the light of some tech news, we now can balance them.
Why is trading accounts so bad for the game and the community?: Show
FT is a social game.
A character has a name, friends, and is known for his/her behaviour.
There are characters known to be helpful, others known to be killers.
If there are more people using the same account, the character in game will act very weirdly. One day he/she will be friendly with someone, the day after he/she will not even know previous friends, or will attack them. This is confusing and frustrating, and damages trus.

A character also have a history. It is created from zero and levelled up through fatiguing tasks: quests and farming are not easy.
If a player wants a high level character, they should work on it, level it up, earn its level.
Being allowed using someone's else characters is unfair: it takes away meaning from other players' efforts.

Then, trading characters (and remember sharing is included in trading) is bad for the game system.
The game is not generated by magic: there's a programmer working on it, plus the server costs money as well.
When a character is traded, the buyer is damaging the game under an economical point of view too
Why is autoclicking so bad for the game and the community?: Show
Again, FT is a social game.
It is perfectly fine that we don't greet all players we meet in the world maps, as we don't greet everyone when we walk our city's streets. But a character placed somewhere, grinding while no one is looking at it, not answering other players' chat/actions at all is definitely bad.
It creates a surreal situation, and no one wants a social game populated by bots.
It is also very unfair towards all the good players who earn their levels and items through active playing the game.

Trading characters and using third parties programs are equally bad.
They are going to be equally punished, starting on 2018 September the 1st.


Please read the new version of the rules in the Game Rules post: https://forum.dmgamestudio.com/viewtopi ... =25&t=2560

Note that:
  • Characters currently permjailed (i.e jailed as traded before 2018 Augst 17) as shared remain such.
    Given the nature of Rule 6's new setting, we allow players a one-time review option: the character owner has to contact us, prove they are the actual owner, and the game staff will decide if the character can switch to the new system and so be released when the new punishment has been carried out.
    The request has to be done by October 1, 2018.
    .
  • Characters previously caught violating Rule 7 are not being given the review option, since the new version of the rule is worsening the punishment (but of course they can ask for it if they so wish :smiling_imp:)

FT is the best game ever and i love playing it. I simply love this rule change. It is implemented in a proper way and a few days time is being given for players to get to know the rules and the punishment to be given are very clearly stated . I love the FT staff. I love the game. I will keep playing this game for as long as possible whenever i get free time inspite of my busy work and hectic life.
Thank you Game Creators and all FT staff for such fine work.

I see the notifications of rules being updated coming as System messages in game. This is a very good way of making players aware of the changes. I appreciate the gesture by GM team and thank all of them for the efforts they put in this game.

I like improvements in rules, unless i see cases of SONS AND STEPSONS, and wish to see penalties applied with justice, not according to how many scream on forum.

No guarantee of a release, but it would be reviewed.
