Punishments will be dealt with on a case-by-case basis at the discretion of the GM team. If you feel that a case was dealt with incorrectly you may bring it to the attention of the GM involved and/or Community Manager.

Chat Rules

The online chat system is a privilege and one we would like to see you keep, so please take a few minutes to familiarize yourself with Mythmoor chat rules.

The following rules apply to PUBLIC chat channels and are not exhaustive:

1) You may not purposely disrupt chat by excessive trolling.

Trolling – Is defined as a user posting inflammatory remarks or annoying behavior to intentionally provoke other users.

Do not post with the sole intent of upsetting other players.

Do not post with the intent of causing unrest.

Do not post to offend, insult, taunt, or aggravate other users and staff.

Do not post excessive shouting (caps) or Ascii art.

Do not post to defame or discredit Mythmoor staff.

2) You may not harass (sexually or otherwise), verbally abuse, threaten, berate, flame, or cause unwanted distress to anyone.

3) You may not use excessively sexually explicit language; try to keep it PG 16 most of the time. Furthermore, threatening, abusive, defamatory, obscene, hateful, racially or ethnically offensive language won’t be tolerated. This includes workarounds, symbols, links, misspellings, and text within images.

4) You may not discuss, post items or links relating to exploit abuse and other forms of cheating, religion, pornography, illegal drugs or the abuse of such drugs, ‘warez’, copyright infringement, and ‘pirated’ materials (including illegal torrents) or any other illegal activity. While we encourage open-minded discussion, if someone is getting offended please change the subject. Comparing in-game godhood to actual world religions in the real world is not something ok to do. The gods in the game are a fantasy world with no value in real life and no such comparisons should be made.

5) Mythmoor staff would prefer English to be used when speaking in public chats and when making support calls. If you cannot use English, a translator may be a good option. Mocking or insulting someone trying their best is not acceptable and may result in an official warning or worse.

6) You may never impersonate another user on our server, and you may certainly not impersonate any member of Mythmoor staff, or falsely suggest that you are staff.

7) You may not use the Mythmoor Wurm chat system to sell or advertise the sale of products that are not relevant to Wurm or Mythmoor, period. You may not sell or advertise the sale of products which are illegal.

8) Send a private message or /tell to the moderator in question if you have a question about a moderation action or wish to appeal a moderation action. If a satisfactory solution cannot be achieved then send your concerns to a Lead Game Master (usually via a forum pm).

9) You may not advertise another server on the Mythmoor forums, or use chat, this means private messages, kingdom chats or global chats.

The ignore feature should be used at any time you do not wish to receive messages from another player and is your primary personal control of your own private messages. You will not receive text posted by someone on your personal ignore list. Example: ‘/ignore <playername>’

Players on premium accounts may snipe other players ‘/snipe <playername>’ which will mute the player if enough people issue it roughly at the same time. You can only have one snipe per time period. The command ‘/ignore <playername>’ has automatic snipe functionality.

Moderation Actions (CM/GM):

Moderators may issue directives as deemed necessary to enforce these rules.

Warning – Moderators may warn any user of breaches of the chat rules.

Muting – Moderators may mute any user for breaches of the chat rules.

Temporary Ban – Moderators may issue temporary bans for breaches of the chat rules.

Permanent Ban – Moderators may permanently ban any user who offends on a regular basis, or whose offense is severe. All permanent bans are subject to review.

Trade Chat

Posting guidelines can be found at the top of the trade chat tab. Trade chat, displayed in purple, is strictly for trading and should remain uncluttered. You may use the following prefixes appropriately:

• PC: For price checks
• WTS: To list items you want to sell
• WTB: To list items you want to buy
• @name: To reply to a specific player’s post

All deal-making, bartering, or chatting should be taken to private messages, global chat, or another format. This helps keep the trade chat clean, allowing players to quickly see what is being bought and sold.

Do not misuse prefixes just to chat in trade chat. For example:

• Avoid using PC to say “I’m drinking some coffee…”
• Avoid using PC to say “I will beat their price on anything.”

Instead, use WTS with a proper list of your items and prices. Players can determine if your prices are lower without unnecessary commentary.

Failure to use the correct prefixes or misusing them to bypass posting restrictions will result in a 1-hour mute for first offenses, with longer durations for repeated violations. Persistent abuse will be escalated to the GM staff by the CM staff, potentially leading to further action to enforce a break from the game.

Supplemental Friendly Neighbors Policies

This server is focused on the community. Yes enjoy the game, build your things, and do everything the game has to offer, but we want to have an environment of friendly people who are enjoying a game, to relax, have fun, and get away from real life. If your consideration of fun is ruining the day of another player, then this is not the place for you. You are not required to socialize, but if you do enter the open chats or pm another, you need to always be respectful of others (this does not mean you can’t pick at them as long as nobody is getting mad) and generally socially acceptable. This supplemental rules section is being designed to clarify some things that seem to be unclear, to make sure we keep our community a positive environment. It may be updated regularly, it will be updated as needed.

This is a fantasy world, not real life. Some people may come here to make friends and discuss their real lives. However, if they are not open to discussing it, you may not pressure or bully them into doing so. You also may not disrupt their fantasy. It does not matter if a man is playing a female character and wants to pretend to be an actual female while they are here, or vice versa. That is their choice, and calling them out on it borders on violating the rule against harassment based on sexual orientation. Whether it is true or not, whether you like it or not, the solid rule is that it is their business.

If a person says they are a woman, accept it, even if you wholeheartedly believe they are a man, or vice versa—it does not matter. There will be absolutely no tolerance for behavior that even borders on racism, sexual orientation harassment, transgender discrimination, creed, nationality, or anything related to these categories. On a first offense, we may issue a warning to give you the benefit of the doubt in case you haven’t read the rules. After that, we will be forced to issue a 7-day suspension, and any subsequent offense will result in a permanent ban. This is non-negotiable, as the server is hosted in Canada, which has strict laws regarding such matters.

Please note, we will not act against playful banter between friends, such as Americans and Brits joking with each other in good fun. However, know the difference between friendly teasing and actual insults. If you can’t, this may not be the place for you.

2) If it is not deeded, it is considered fair game. To clarify, this means that if you plan to use a space and reside there, it is generally acceptable, even if your new neighbors may not approve. However, it is strongly encouraged to communicate with your neighbors beforehand and aim for a mutually agreeable living arrangement, especially if they have plans to expand. That said, using deeding as a tactic to block someone or to take over their work with the intention of selling their space back to them is strictly prohibited. Such behavior is unacceptable, and any deeds created under these circumstances will be removed.

3) Negativity can spread quickly and disrupt the enjoyment of others. This includes non-constructive complaints. Simply ranting about an issue doesn’t solve anything. If you have a complaint, concern, or dislike something we’ve done, please take a moment to reflect, organize your thoughts, and provide a well-constructed, detailed opinion. You can report it through the suggestions channel on our Discord, submit a /support ticket, or contact Xype directly on Steam. Rants will be ignored, but serious, well-presented complaints will be reviewed and taken into consideration. To maintain a positive atmosphere, we ask that these discussions remain out of public chats to avoid disagreements or disruptions that may upset others. Let’s work together to keep the chat space positive!

4) What happens in PVP stays in PVP. This is true, and GMs will not intervene in PVP issues unless there is a case of being stuck or another serious form of game disruption. However, this rule ONLY applies within the PVP zone. You are not allowed to carry your PVP feuds into the PVE area, regardless of how close that area is to the PVP zone. Additionally, remember that Global and Freedom chats are not meant for PVP discussions—keep your trash talk confined to local chat.

Rule Additions:

Anyone caught using the ESP mod may now face consequences on their account. This decision is based on feedback from the majority of the community. The ESP mod is no longer permitted, and anyone found using it will be subject to GM penalties.

Vanity Mount Subsection:

Vanity mounts are exclusively owned by the player who purchased them. If you discover a vanity mount in the wild or on an abandoned deed, please submit a ticket with its location. You will be rewarded with 3 silver, and the mount will be retrieved and cared for by a GM. Possessing someone else’s vanity mount may result in penalties as outlined in the GM codex.
