Huh? What is an exploit?

[DM_Kim]

There are some in Aetheria who think that we don't see what is happening.

A Fair Warning!!

Something to etch into your stone:
An exploit is anything a player's character can do within the game or by using game mechanics in a manor that it was not designed for in their original intent, to a player's advantage or to the disadvantage of another player.

An example of an exploit:
Pushing through a locked door = exploit. The door is locked, therefore without a key it is off limits. Just because a bug in the game can allow you to push through, the original intent is that your not suppose to go through unless door is unlocked.

Add to that: If in doubt, don't, but ask a DM or pay the price. Just because it can be done doesn't mean it should be done or it's allowed.

Should one get caught exploiting, DM's have a host of tools at their disposal to ensure and encourage that it doesn't happen again, from a "pleasant chat" to a "perma-ban" (and everything in between)

AND yes we do take notes as to whom is doing what, where and why.

Alright, I'd like to add a bit to this in regards to relics. First of all anyone is free to do virtually anything they want with the relics, except take them to neutral and high level areas (such as the planar areas).


Allowed
You can hide a relic anywhere you can take the relics to.
You can relic raid as much as you want as long as it doesn't interfere with venge logging.
You can Defend your own relic with as many toons as you desire.

Disallowed
Relics will not enter neutral areas.
Relics will not be dropped to be unreachable (This is an exploit).
Trafficing of relics is prohibited. This means you cannot log a toon outside your destination faction to raid, and then drop that relic off to yourself. This is the same weather you are dual logged or if you have to relog your other toon to pick up the relic you dropped. (This is an exploit, as the relic system wasn't made to be used this way)

Please do not exploit the relic system, it is here for a good time, and we should all respect each other enough to not hinder that potential fun.
