Games with a multiplayer option offer a new experience but come with a lot of issues. Since pride and bragging rights are on the line, some players take shortcuts or extreme measures to win. Despite being in Early Access, Myth of Empires is already implementing some possible solutions.
Just a quick background, Myth of Empires is a multiplayer sandbox game where players need to fight to survive and earn their place in a world torn by war. Considering that it remains to be an evolving game, the development team revealed that they “have the final right” when it comes to interpreting all current rules as they see fit.
Here are some of the behaviors that players should avoid:
- Behaviors that result in getting muted in-game:
- Making remarks with the intent to impersonate official personnel, admins, or GMs.
- Intentionally spreading false and malicious comments about the game.
- Posting advertisements or promotions unrelated to in-game content.
- Using offensive, hateful, and/or threatening language such as racial or sexual discrimination, harassment, abuse, endangerment of others, stalking, doxing, or any other illegal or illicit conduct.
- Discussion or promotion of illegal methods or exploits that undermine the fairness of the game.
- Behaviors that can result in permanent bans:
- Any modification or debugging of the game client, including but not limited to: decompiling the program, packet deception, hacking the game client, etc.
- Use of any unapproved third-party software that may adversely affect gameplay, including but not limited to: hacks, mods, scripts, plug-ins, etc.
- Use of DDOS attacks or any other technical means to obtain in-game benefits.
- Direct or indirect use of game bugs, exploits, etc. to obtain an advantage, disrupt game balance, or for personal gain.
- Purposefully traveling to areas of the map that are normally inaccessible (outside the boundaries of the main map or underground).
- Using bugs to inflict losses on other players.
Other guidelines include:
- Inappropriate character/guild names:
- Names cannot contain vulgar, slanderous, obscene, hateful, racial, ethnic or other offensive content, including but not limited to pornography, gambling, drugs, and other sensitive topics.
- Once an offense has been verified, the development team will force a name change.
- Do not impersonate game managers (GMs) or any other person officially associated with the game.
- Malicious reporting
- Intentionally reporting players who have not committed any violations may result in bans from 2 hours to 24 hours, depending on the circumstances.
- Repeat offenders may be banned for longer periods or permanently.
Hopefully these are enough for now to ensure fair play. The game is available on PC through Steam.
