There are a few rules that are specific to this site. These rules will be explained in detail, and will include rules upon the following: character limitations; spell and ability limitations; obtaining of items for your character, timeline, and anything else that comes to mind.

Character Limitations

Quite a few things go underneath this category. Primarily, and probably the most important thing to consider, it is one character per account . To have more than one character upon a singular account is utterly confusing, and results in bad role-playing procedure. You can create as many accounts, and as such as many characters, as you would like, but please keep in mind that you cannot have more than one character on an account. If account is found with more than one character, admin deletes one and chooses which.

Beyond that, some types of characters and races are requiring of Admin Permission (AP). Anything marked within the "Races" area with "(AP)" means that you must have the admin's approval before making this character. The reason for this is simple- some races are simply more powerful than others are or require advance role-play. The admin needs to know that you are not going to abuse your position as a member of that specific race or able to properly role-play the said race. If you are found with a created character that requires (AP) and you have not obtained it, you will be banned , with absolutely no exceptions.

Spell and Talent Limitations

Magic spells or anything for that matter, you can make up on the spot in general. However, keep in mind of your character limitations when doing this. For example, you cannot use fire tier 3 spells when you only have tier one. Also, keep in mind, just because you have a high level tier in magic, your control over it still limited and you’re not resisted to your own flames. What this means, you can’t have your hands on fire and throw fire punches just with fire magic, you can’t fire balls spinning around you in protection either. Now, we are not saying it impossible to do this. With the right Classes and Talents, you can do this easily. Just remember, talents can support each other and be used in variety of ways.

Obtaining Items

Items are obtainable in several ways. You can go to the shop and gain some basic item needs. However, while all of the prices are standardize depending on tier (for NPC SHOPS), it doesn’t mean that flat amount is the same for you. Depending on your race, the shop prices will either increase or decrease. So please, keep an eye out on races treatment in regard of this matter.

You can hunt and obtain items from drops. In each creature, there is a drop list. All creatures have their own set of drops from killing them or defeating them. However, they are mainly for constructing materials. It in your best interest read carefully what creature drops what.

Mission and jobs can give you items. The mission often include the said rewards, sometimes they give a flat item or a flat reward of Gald (site currency). So make sure you read the mission carefully.

By crafting, you can obtain items easy with this. You can gain material from shops, hunting, and missions/jobs. You can create unique items under this system. However, to do this you require having the proper Talent to perform this. You may hire other members on the site to do it for you.

Timeline

Important Note - Currently, liquid RP is being tested on this site. You may be in three threads at once. This means that you are allowed to be in multiple threads on a singular character at once. One RP thread, one training/crafting thread, and one mission/job thread. The standard IIC time for all threads is 48 hours (2 days) so you should not fear being stuck in a thread if your partner suddenly becomes inactive. You must exit a thread that you are currently within in order to role-play in another thread. If you are spotted breaking this rule, you will receive disciplinary action.

Post Warning

If your post contains things of a graphic nature, please put a warning in the title of the thread, like a note of [18+, gore] or the like. This is to ensure that nobody has to read something that they do not want to. If you are caught with a thread of "R" Rated material and there is no warning, you'll be given a verbal warning. If the issue continues to persist, then you will be given true disciplinary action.

Community Moderation Rules

Here at Re:Ultimate, we love it when members get involved in the community, which is why we have a community moderation system in place that simultaneously allows members to get involved and allows staff attention to focus on the larger picture.
Participating in this system comes in many forms, most notably by narrating (GMing), approving training sessions, and crafting threads. We want our community be close and want the site to continue flow without staff continues moderation. The only instances we want staff to be involved are over disputes, events, and anything requires account modification, such as titles, character application, and Gald.

Each time a member narratives or approve threads, they obtain one CM point, these points are redeemable for prizes.

No being rude or instigating fights.

This includes, but is not limited to: flaming, trolling, baiting, name-calling, religion bashing, and member bashing. We have a zero-tolerance policy and perpetrators will be dealt with upon investigation. We want to have fun and have no tensions.

No meta-gaming.

Metagaming seeks to provide shortcuts in role playing. This includes, but is not limited to: performing a plan, you decided on OOC but not role-playing coming up with the plan, while having knowledge of something ooc but your character have no way of knowing. Such as someone enter your thread and you magically know this despite 100 of meters away.

Swearing is allowed, but not in excess.

We are also not a bunch of ten-year-olds but not some rated R site. Keep it in control. It is fine if it is your character's personality to randomly shout profanities. Just keep it within moderation, or you will be spoken to.

Erotic roleplay is not allowed.

No one wants to see it and it is in Proboard's Terms and Services. Go to fade to black, go into pms or something. No minors having sexy time either, not even fade to black. So keep your pedophile character out of the site.

Do not cheat.

We are moderating an entire forum and grading multitudes of posts. Do not change your level or somehow gain a spell without the required prerequisites. YOU WILL BE CAUGHT AND YOU WILL BE BANNED!

We are a casual rp forum.

But not illiterate. There is a 200 word minimum on all posts. The C-Box: it is a means of speaking with people on the site without having to have everyone on a messenger.

All staff rulings are final.

If you have a problem with how a situation was handled, do not bring it to other members. You will only cause a larger fight than necessary. Staff rulings, whether it is on a matter of complaint or a matter of rule breaking, will almost always be final. Rulings can be repealed and handled differently, but more than likely they will not. So, if we are being unfair, PM one of the mods or admins. We will discuss it and either come up with another ruling or give an explanation for our previous ruling.

All advertising must be done in the affiliate board.

If you advertise an RP site here, we reserve the right to deny it if you do not also allow us to advertise on your site.

Do not join an ongoing battle.

Once a battle has started, no more players may enter the thread. This is to avoid people complaining about being killed while in a middle of an attack. If in doubt, PM me.

No attacking on an opening post:

No one wants their character killed by someone who suddenly enters and attacks without being able to respond to it.

In time between each post is six seconds.

You can have your character think about his/her next move or use some spells.

Max Sig Area Size:

600w x 250h. Smaller is OK. Large sig sizes, particularly images, can dramatically slow loading times for users with slower connections. Having a sig size limit reduces loading time for those on slower connections. Also, sigs wider than this size stretch and distort the page.

Real Names

If you choose to, posting your real name is ok. Posting other peoples real names, without their express permission, is not accepted. Some people like to keep their real names private for security purposes. It is unfair to those people if you just blurt out their names. If you allow your name to be known, it is recommended you do not release your last name, as a measure of privacy.
