This is considered one of the worst offense. In severe cases, we will block access to the whole IP net of the offender.
2. Buying or selling items / accounts
The following are not allowed: buy/sell items/accounts for real money, buy/sell items/accounts for items/accounts from other Servers, and from other non-Shaiya Online products/services.
3. Fraud / Scam
The staff is no responsible for the security of your account or transactions, meaning that you might not get your items back if you get scammed. But if enough evidence is presented, the scammer will surely get the account permanently suspended.
4. Bots and Macros
Any use of automation software, either bots or macros or third party software of any kind is totally forbidden. Violation of this rule may imply the removing of the farmed gold/materials and the appropriate punishments. Any type of “afk-farming” will also be judged under this rule.
5. Bug Abuse
Any bug abuse is forbidden. Finding any kind of bug must be reported immediately. Any advantage obtained from bug abuse might end in item removal and the appropriate punishments.
6. Stat Padding
Stat padding is defined as killing a character who willingly and consistently allows him/herself to be killed with the objective of helping other players increase their kill count. Any user caught stat padding (both killing and being killed) will receive a ban and have all their kills wiped from all characters. Additional action may be taken for repeat offenders and/or a permanent ban can be issued to the player.
7. Boss Killing - Boss Raid - Calling Bosses
All boss killings/raids must be called at least 3 times within your faction either by yelling in trade chat. All members of the raid can be hold accountable for the calling of a boss. All calls must happen before starting to attack the boss and the amount of free spots in your raid is irrelevant for this rule. Going for a boss is considered a group action and you must always have your Union Party open so everyone can join. It's against our rules to kick someone from your party while doing a boss unless that member is not helping take the boss down or it's afk. You can only close or kick joining members if the boss HP is below 30%.
Note: If 2 or more raids are going for the same boss, the smaller one will have to join the bigger one so everyone can participate. You can not have multiple raids on the same boss. 
8. PvP Raids - Kicking Members
All PvP must be done with an open raid and You are not allowed to have multiple raids/parties in the same pvp zone until your raid got atleast 30members. You are not allowed to kick members from your pvp raid unless they are not wearing ANY equipment or if they are ignoring commands. Before kicking, the player needs to be warned by using the union chat function. If two or more raids are going, the smaller one will have to join the bigger one so everyone can participate.
Once the main raid is full, you are allowed to create a new one until that one is full and so on.
9. 150 SLOT RAID PvP Rules
1. Leader of union got permision to block people joining if his raid has 30 members and is not capable to maintain more raids.
2. People can create another Union to join pvp if other Union don't allow more than 30 members! We use shared raid system and people get kills from all unions created so please don't make drama becuase your not accepted in same Union!
10. Kill Stealing (KS)
Kill-stealing (normal monsters) itself is not considered an offense but repeated use can be seen as harassment and will be punished accordingly. 
11. Animation cutting
Any form of animation cutting or canceling like skillcut, runecut, mountcut, anythingcut is not allowed in our server and will be treated like use of exploits/hacks. 
12. Spawn Killing - Safe Zones
Spawn killing and entering the opposite factions base/castle/stronghold/safe zone is not allowed and will result in an instant jail. The opposing factions base/safe zone is defined by anything behind the most forward (yellow named) guard. 
13. Portal Killing / Camping
Portal Killing is when a user from the opposite faction continually kills users who are trying to load into the current zone. This includes killing players before they have a chance to step out of the portal (very similar to Spawn Killing). These actions are not allowed since it exploiting the fact that the other player is not done loading and its not ready to fight.

Account Related Rules
1. Accounts
Ownership of an account is determined by the associated email with which it was created. If you are playing with an account and you do not have access to that email, you might lose it if the actual creator of the account claims it as his or hers. It doesn't matter who trained a character or farmed items for it, only the owner of the email to which the account is linked is consider as the owner of the account. Remember: a player who never shares his/her account with others, will never lose a single item to thieving.
2. Account thieving
If you lose access to your account, you can always use the linked email to claim it back. Please, consider that the only way you can lose your account and any items on it, is by you willingly sharing its information, or by you using a system which is infected by a keylogger of some kind. Admins will not take responsibility in any of this cases, but will try to help you recovering your account. But, as with the scamming rule, no items will be returned.
3. Investigating and access to accounts
If any account is suspected in anyway, admins have the right to log it without previous notification to the owner. Only the admins will have this right, no other member of our staff will ever login your account. Admins do NOT need you to give your personal information for this, so please NEVER share your personal information with anyone in-game.
In case of account thieving investigation, Admins may ban accounts for undetermined time until investigation is over.
