Reign is a privately owned game and all visitors are required to abide by rules set forth by all installed Reign's staff (the "Developers"), appointed administrators (the "Administrators"), and this Agreement.

  • 5. PRIVACY
1. BRIEF OVERVIEW
 
This policy of the Agreement (a "Stipulation") is intended as an overview and in no way over-rules any other Stipulation.  Other Stipluations will be treated with more significance, and this Stipulation cannot depreciate any other Stipulation.
 
  1. You must be 13 years or older to chat via Reign.
  2. Show respect for other players by not cursing or using offensive language in any public area of Reign (chats, alliance names, etc).
    A few words that some consider questionable but are allowed are: crap, damn, dammit, darn, hell. If used in a negative context against another User, repercussions may arise.
  3. No flooding of Reign's public chat.
  4. Do not harass other Users or members of the Fortyeight staff using Reign or any other chat medium.
  5. Do not make personal insults or unwanted personal remarks.
  6. Do not make real-life threats.
  7. Do not create more than account, as a single account can create nations in multiple worlds.
  8. Do not avoid any temporary or permanent bans applied to an account.
  9. Do not make unwanted or offensive religious statements. If a User is offended, action will be taken.
  10. Do not mention, refer to, link, and/or advertise the use or promotion of sexual, explicit, and/or otherwise inappropriate material, words, phrases, and/or slang.
