If a crash occurs and items are lost, staff MIGHT compensate in some manner, but PLEASE do not whine about lost items. 17.)

Pets left out of stables for extended periods of time will be placed in the Pound <jail>, owners will have to pay to get them out. Repeatedly leaving pets out of stables will result in the pets being taken. There are shrink potions, pet leashes and hitching posts, please use them. 20.) Giving Grief to others is a jailable offense! This includes luring monsters to someone and getting them killed, blocking exits so someone can't leave and your summons/pets attacking someone else.

There are stealable rares on all facets of the shard. 22.) Please do not spawn camp. If there is no one else present in that area, then stay as long as you like, unless you are AFK, token harvesting with isn't very challenging and annoys the staff. If someone else wants to hunt in the same locale they need to leave for 30 minutes, then come back, if they come back and you are still there, you have to take turns. Anyone caught token harvesting using scripts <while afk> will lose their token ledger and will die in a very painful manner. 23.) Please do not attack a monster that someone else is trying to kill, unless they ask for help. This is extremely rude and is a jailable offense. If you go to kill a monster and someone is already hunting there, then leave and go back in 30 minutes, if they are still there, they have to share the spawn. That doesn't mean you can go back and just start attacking the spawn, just tell them that you want to share the spawn spot. 24.) Please do not loot someone else's kills and do not pick up gold off the ground from a champ spawn unless YOU killed the champ. Do NOT pick up items that are on the ground if they aren't yours unless you know for sure that someone is giving the items away. This is a jailable offense. 25.) Pets are not allowed at events, they cause too much lag. 26.) Ethereal Realms does not support the 3D client, it causes other players to lag, please do not use it. 27.) Lying to staff is a bannable offense. 28.) Do not place a house right next to a spawner, camping a spawn from the safety of a house is NOT allowed. If a house is found next to a spawner, staff will move the spawner for the first offense, then staff will delete the house for repeat offenses. 29.) NO WHINING!!!! If you don't like the staff, players, rules, policies or shard, go find another shard. Ethereal Realms is a FREE shard, you don't pay to play, if you don't like it or something about it, there are hundreds of other shards to choose from. 30.) Do NOT use idols while mounted. 31.) Do NOT pm staff with basic problems Please use the Help Feature. As Pm's can Overwhelm the Staff. PM's are Allowed but please respect somebody if they ask you not to PM them as they are getting overwhelemed. 32.) Do NOT ask to be made staff. Anyone logging on simply to ask to be made staff will be jailed. Staff members are chosen from the player base. Established players are more than welcome to apply for a staff position after they have been playing the shard for 60 days.
