Game Rules
§1 Multi-Accounts
Each player is allowed to control a single account per game server.
If two or more accounts are usually, occasionally, or permanently being played from the same network(e.g. schools, universities, Internet cafes…) it is necessary to notify a GameOperator. In this case, the players of the game accounts are not allowed to interact with each other's game accounts. This includes amongst other things trading, using ingame items such as Votive Candles, Cheat Sheets, etc., office privileges, supporting office elections or cour cases.
§2 Account Sharing
Each account is entitled to be played by a single player at any time. Sharing of account information such as the password or the email address is strictly forbidden. Gameforge does not take responsibility for consequential damages of account sharing or the sharing of game account information. There will be no reimbursement for jewels, gold or ingame items lost due to account sharing or sharing of account information. Sharing of account information such as the password, login and email adress will be considered as intentional account sharing and will be treated as such.
§3 Internet connection Sharing
In order to avoid wrongful game account bans, it is necessary to inform a Game Operator about an internet connection sharing, as soon as more than one game account are being played from one single internet connection.
Should more players use the same IP address (School, University, Residential home, Flat share, Family home, etc) the players will have to prove that the game accounts are being handled by different individuals in case of doubt.
§4 Account Trade / Handover

Owners of game accounts, which have been traded without the approval of the Game Adminstrator will not be able to retrieve their game account in case of theft. Account trades and account handovers are to be reported via the ticket system. Former and future account owners have to create a separate ticket with the following content:
- Dynasty name, server number, email address, which was used to create the game account
- One code word which is only known to the former and future account owner.
The Game Administrator will review the information and enter the new accpimt details of the game acount(s) and informs the new game account owner(s) of the game account(s) that the game account(s) may now be taken over.

Once a given account changes owner, one month must pass before it changes ownership again.
