Clarification on the Server Rules

[dycedarge]

Hey, I would like to have a set of Server Rules for Nostalrius.

So far I searched the Forum but didn't find any set Rules so far expect the one regarding Multiboxing.
I would like to know what is allowed/ not allowed. Because so far (im level 45) I've experienced A LOT of people abusing bugs for their own good, and im questioning myself. Do you tolerate people abusing/exploiting bugs or do you want people to report it so they can get banned.
One example for me is you shouldn't be able to stand on a Building in any Neutral or Enemy Town and be unaffected by the Guards while you cast on other Players that get killed the moment they strike back.
This is not something that is supposed to happen, normaly Guards should be able to shoot People if their on a higher ground and not in Melee reach. What should happen in this Case? Do you tolerate it and think of it as a "mechanic" on this Server or do you say it's not allowed until the Guards are scripted correctly.

During Classic Retail this is exactly what you could do in Duskwood (if you mean Duskwood). Don't see the problem with that though.

Q n A

1. Do you tolerate people abusing/exploiting bugs or do you want people to report it so they can get banned?

2. What should happen in this Case [NPC Guard LoS/Out of range/Unable to path to target]?

3. Do you tolerate it and think of it as a "mechanic" on this Server or do you say it's not allowed until the Guards are scripted correctly?

goblin guards didn't have guns in 1.4

rooftop camping is blizzlike and working as intended

Regarding the Goblin Guards. As far as i know they could Net you and Shoot you with a slight knockback when u werent in Melee. 100% on BC release not sure how it was on 1.12.1 couldn't find any valid information on that.

Quite correct.

Goblin guards only got guns and nets in late vanilla. I grinded my ranks (before battlegrounds) by PvPing in and around Goblin cities and LHC in retail.

This Server is on the latest Vanilla patch 1.12.1 ....... the last patch on Classic is 1.12.2 with bug fixes. Only some Items are twisted on 1.4 to make Leveling harder/ more Blizzlike like in the early days, dont get that confused the Server is 1.12.1 and should include any changes with that.

Only thing is that Duskwood (Darkshire) is not neutral town so no problems there.

And imo exploiting should not be allowed.

Also don't get stuck on the Guards. I still want a GENERAL set of Rules.
How is abusive flaming handled? I know on retail they had quite a tolerance on that, for whispering someone your an asshole no one cared. Only in real continued harrassment or life threatening messages Blizzard took action.

What about Ninja Looting? I know people generaly reframe from Ninja Looting on a private Server with a "smaller" Community since everyone will fast get to know you. But what if certain Guilds fill up Raids/Dungeons with a couple of random people, then Ninja Loot some Items for their own good, they won't care if they get a bad reputation since they are already a Community by themselves not depending so much on others.

On Vanilla retail if you had evidence of a set Loot distribution by the Group/Raid Leader and he Ninja Looted. You could write a Ticket and the player often wasn't banned, but at least the Item he gained was removed from him.

Active Corpse camping? Many people believe that it is "Blizzlike" but that's just a big Private Server Myth.
There is even a Report Function for Corspe Camping Implemented as "Physicial Harrasement" in Vanilla. ( Little Note: Corspe camping is not 2-3 killing someone, but on some Servers for example their where entire Guilds set to Camp someone for multiple hours

Their just to many things that need to be set clear if you want to have a continued succes with this Server.
5k+ People with no set Rules? Could end up in a big chaos.
