The team at Big Picture Games takes player conduct very seriously and we are committed to providing our community an amazing gaming experience. This requires not only a game that is exciting and fun to play, but one where all players feel welcome and can expect a fair playing field against others. The following is our Code of Conduct for Darkfall: Rise of Agon which applies to any and all players of the game. We recommend players get familiar with this policy as it will be strongly enforced by our team.

PENALTIES FOR VIOLATING THE CODE OF CONDUCT

Suspensions will be placed on accounts that have violated any article(s) of our Terms of Service, EULA, or Terms of Sale. Suspensions range from 3 days to 2 weeks and occur after a player has received an initial warning.

Permanent bans are lasting and final. They are verified prior to execution and apply to serious violations such as hacking, cheating, or using any modified version of game code. Players can also receive permanent bans for multiple violations of the Code of Conduct.

The following outlines the penalties players will incur for breaking the Code of Conduct:

1st Offense - Warning

2nd Offense - 3 day ban

3rd Offense - 7 day ban

4th Offense - 14 day ban

5th Offense - Permanent ban

Note that some offenses, depending on their severity, may be issued a longer suspension from the start.
