Rules of Conduct

Playing on DewataRO means agreeing to these rules. GMs enforce them, and their decisions are final.

1. No botting or automation. Don't use third-party programs, bots, or auto-combat / auto-walk macros that play for you. The server's own @autotrade (offline vending) and @autoloot are fine — those are built-in features.
2. No exploit or bug abuse. Found a bug, a dupe, or an unintended payout? Report it on Discord — don't use it. Abuse means a ban and a rollback.
3. No real-money trading (RMT). Buying or selling zeny, items, or accounts for real money — between players, outside official donations — is banned. See Donating & Cash Points for what donations can and can't get you.
4. No scamming. Trade scams, "hold my item" cons, and phishing are bannable. Use the trade window; trade at your own risk.
5. Your account is your responsibility. Don't share it — items lost to account sharing can't be recovered. Recovery is via Discord ticket only (no email is stored), so register with details you'll remember.
6. Be respectful. No harassment, hate speech, threats, racism, or sexual content in public chat.
7. No spam or advertising. Don't flood chat, and don't advertise other servers.
8. Don't impersonate staff. Don't claim to be a GM — real staff carry a GM tag.
9. Multi-client is allowed. Open as many game windows as you like.
10. Kill-stealing is fine. Maps are shared and drops/EXP are per-player, so KS isn't a rule here — just don't deliberately block or grief others at events (Barong / Rangda / Mushroom).
11. Don't beg GMs for items. Staff never hand out items, zeny, levels, cash points, or refines, not to friends and not to anyone, and asking is pointless. Asking repeatedly counts as spam under rule 7. Everything in the game is earned, bought, or won at events, the same for everyone.

The automated bot check

Rule 1 is also enforced automatically. If a character's play pattern looks automated for a long stretch, the server may ask it to prove a person is at the keyboard:

• A picture appears with five characters to type. You have 60 seconds and three tries.
• While the window is open you are frozen and immune, so nothing can kill you during the check.
• Pass and you get a 10-minute Blessing and Increase Agi as a thank-you, plus 24 hours without another check.
• Fail, or log out with the check open, and you are disconnected and the character is flagged for a GM to look at.

The check never bans on its own. A flag only asks a GM to review the character, and normal play almost never triggers it: sitting in town, vending, @autotrade and @autoloot are not what it looks for.

Punishments

Enforcement scales with severity: warning → mute → temporary ban → permanent ban.

RMT, exploit/dupe abuse, and hacking are an immediate permanent ban — no warning.
