  • By creating an account on Vendetta Gaming Network, you acknowledge that we can lock/change/remove the account at any time for any reason.
  • The rules listed here are mainly a guideline for proper behaviour within our network and can be changed/modified at any time. Staff make the final call for what to punish.
  • These guidelines are subject to the staff's observation. Using the claim, "It wasn't on the rules", or "I didn't know", or "It's not worded like that" will not be tolerated and will be ignored.
  • The rules listed here will apply to all games on Vendetta Gaming Network, unless otherwise noted.
  • Should a member of staff not be online when a reportable offence takes place, please take full screenshots or videos of the incident and report them through our ticket system here.
  • Mutes/Bans can be appealed through the main website here.
  • These rules will also apply to our forums as well. If a ban is placed on your forum account, it shall not be removed and cannot be appealed.

With these rules changing and updating, past bans and mutes will still be in place and will remain in place. The updating of these rules will not effect previous/current bans/mutes/various other punishments.

 

Section 1 - Harassment

We aim to create an environment that is welcoming to all players on our network. As such, certain behaviours will not be tolerated and will be punished if reported.

  • Releasing of another player's information without their written consent
  • Creation of videos/posts/memes for the sole purpose of harassing/impacting another player's in-game experience
  • Personal attacks based on: their race, gender, religion, nationality, ethics, sexual preference and personal beliefs
  • Repeated or unwanted actions to annoy another player (e.g PM spam, C.O.D spam, mail spam, etc)
  • Direct flaming to another player

 

 

Section 2 - Exploitation/Abusive In-game Actions

Exploiting and abusing of any bug/glitch/exploit within any of the games will lead to severe punishment. Continuation of the behaviour will lead to your account being permanently suspended. Usage of any program to allow you to gain an advatange over another player will not be tolerated and will lead to a permanent ban.

This includes but is not limited to:

  • Publicly releasing how the glitch works
  • Creating a public video showcasing the glitch
  • Publicly releasing any information on how the glitch works and how it is done.
  • Unauthorized reverse engineering/client modification to find said glitches/advantages

Should you ever find a glitch/bug/exploit/hack in the game, please report it to the staff through the main website.

 

 

Section 3 - Hacking/Botting

Any use of a hack/bot that will give you an advantage over another player is strictly prohibited. Actions like these will lead to a permanent ban that will not be appealed.

Bots/Hacks include, but are not limited to:

  • Built-in keyboard macros
  • 3rd party programs
  • Unauthorized applications not provided directly from Vendetta Gaming Network

In terms of botting, if it allows you to manually step away from the game while it continues to play for you, it is not allowed.

 

 

Section 4 - Account Sharing/Item Trading

We at Vendetta Gaming Network recommend that you DO NOT account share.

If you share your account with another player, you will lose all support privileges for that account. You are also responsible for what a person does when on your account.

Should they use your account to break the rules, your account will be the one to receive punishement.

Should an IP ban wave be sent out for someone's account, you may be banned for their actions as well. This ban may not be removed, so we do highly suggest that you do NOT account share.

If your account be scammed due to account sharing, all items and anything lost will not be returned to you. When trading and batering with another player, all trades are considered final. If you lose an item to a scam trade, it will not be recovered for you.

Friendly reminder:

  • Never "lend" an item to someone.
  • Never give an item to someone so they may "try it on".
  • Never give your password or account access to someone offering to buy you VGN.
  • Never drop an item for someone to "see it".
  • ALWAYS check the item tool-tip before accepting any trades Some items may look very similar!
  • Make sure that you are receiving the correct item before you confirm the trade.

 

 

Section 5 - Scamming

Participating in fraud/scams to another player, within any transaction, is not allowed and will result in a permanent ban on your account.

Vendetta Staff will NEVER promote a website in-game and we will NEVER ask for your account details, nor will we PM you in-game about a "special offer" just for you. Should someone be posing as us, ignore the message and report them immediately.

The only websites affiliated to VGN can be found here.

Note: All transactions are YOUR responsibility. We will NOT restore any lost items nor will we give any sort of compensation for falling for a scam.

 

 

Section 6 - Cross Transfer of Account/Items

You are not allowed to trade any items/accounts/VGN/in-game currency for any real life currency (EUR, USD, GBP, DMK, Bitcoin, etc). You cannot hold a trade for items/accounts/VGN that are not limited to our servers alone.

Trading across servers will not be tolerated and will net you a ban across all accounts associated to you.

This does not including selling PGC cards for in-game currency. This is allowed, though we recommend that you do this with extreme caution. Should you be scammed out of any currency, you will not receive it back.

 

 

Section 7 - Buying/Selling PGC Cards

Buying/Selling PGC card rules will fall under the basic rules listed in Section 6.

While we highly recommend NOT purchasing PGC cards from other players, it is not against the rules to purchase them for in-game currency of your respective game.

Please keep this in mind though:

  • Should someone chargeback that card they sold to you, YOUR account will be banned for PGC fraud
  • Should you be scammed of the PGC card or currency, we cannot return that currency to you.

 

 

Section 8 - Fraud/Chargebacks

Should a card you purchased be flagged as fraudulent, you will be banned till the negative balance linked to your account is cleared.

You can clear this up through PGC's support page. We at VGN are unable to assist with payment issues.

 

 

Section 9 - Inappropriate Names/Guild Names/Guild Icons

Names that are deemed inappropriate will be forced to change, or the account will be banned (if the game does not support name changes).

Inappropriate names/guild names/guild icons include, but are not limited to:

  • Personal attacks of someone
  • Any obscene, sexual or racist names
  • Impersonation or attack of staff

If it is a guild name that needs to be changed, the guild leader will receive the ban till the name is changed.

Should the guild leader refuse to change the name, we will force disband the guild. If the guild appears again, it will be a permenant ban for those who helped create it.

If it is a guild icon that needs to be changed, the guild leader will be 1 day to comply with the request before the guild leader is banned.

 

 

Section 10 - Advertisment

Advertising of any unwelcome behaviour listed in Sections 1, 2, and 3 will not be tolerated.

Any sort of advertising like this will result in a permanent ban.

Please note that speaking about other games/medic/etc is not considered advertisment.

Promoting your twitch stream in-game may be done, but cannot be spammed in chat.

 

 

Section 11 - Staff Impersonation

Under no circumstances are you able to impersonate a member of staff.

Using any sort of exploit to "change" your name in-game to make your chat messages appear as a staff member will not be tolerated and may result in your account being banned.

Should your name be similar to a staff member, you may be asked to change it. If so, regulations for this will fall under Section 9.

 

 

Section 12 - Staff Harassment

There is a zero tolerance policy in place for staff harassment.

Should you be found harassing a member of staff, you will be banned/muted for those actions. Appeals for these bans/mutes will also be ignored and you will serve out the full length of the punishment.

Should you use an alternative account/character to dodge the punishment on your main account, the duration of your punishment will be increased on your main, and the alt will be permanently banned.

Continuation of these actions after your punishment has expired will result in a longer one being placed on your account, up to a permanent ban.

Should you believe a staff member's warning to you was wrong or out of place, then directly message them in private bringing up your issue with the warning. Should you have any additional issue with the warning/member of staff, bring it up in a ticket to a higher member of staff.

Flaming/harassing the staff member about said warning in world chat/speaker/shouts will only net you a longer mute or ban. Staff require civility and respect in these situations, and do not deserve flaming/harassment back for something you believe was out of line.

EDEN SPECIFIC RULES

Section A - Stealing/Resetting Bosses/Mob runs

 

This rule includes, but is not limited to attempting to stop runs such as: Petra, etc.

Any attempt to try and steal a run or boss from a player (by any means such as killing or resetting the boss) will fall under this rule. Attempts listed below are ones included in this rule, but this rule is not limited to the following conditions:

  • Using monsters to kill the person attacking the boss
  • Using any skill to be able to pull the monster away from the attacker in an attempt to reset the boss.

 

 

Section B - Safe Zone Camping

This includes, but is not limited to:

  • Trapping your opponent in base and making it impossible for them to leave
    • Note: This does not apply once they've left the spawn area as the game has counter measures inplace to prevent this (One Of A Kind Buff).
  • Killing them while inside a Safe zone in TW

Any form of forced spawn/safe zone camping that is found and reported will start with a week ban and continue up from there.

 

Section C - Territory Wars

This rule is being added to address the alt killing that has been going on in Territory Wars.

Its now getting out of hand and from this post on, we will be banning alts and/or main accounts that are found to be breaking this rule.

These bans will range from 1 week to 2 weeks for first punishment, with repeat offenders getting a longer ban.

SCARLET BLADE SPECIFIC RULES

 

Section A - Battlegrounds

In an attempt to make battlegrounds fair for all those who join, we will have an AFK policy in place. Those that AFK in a battleground are subject to be kicked from the game to gain deserter buff, or banned based on the amount of reports received.

Abuse of the report function in the battleground to force kick a normal player out of it will not be tolerated. Those who continue to do it will receive a ban on their account for all those involved.

Also, exploiting and using any battleground terrain glitch to give yourself an unfair advantage. Any video received of a person doing this will result in a ban being placed on their account.

While we'll make every attempt to deal with the reports as we can, some reports may not be acted on based on the evidence given to us. Should your evidence not show a rule breaker without doubt, then we cannot act on it.

 

Section B - PvP Maps

There have been actions by players that we deem unhealthy for the game environment and we are openly posting that is it not allowed here. These are not all inclusive and are at the discretion of the staff on how to enforce these rules and other unhealthy pvp actions.

Usage of Alts to Sway/Exploit Battleground Registrations and Entries.

  • Using alts to enter and guarantee you and your main's entrance into the BG
    • Using characters to block only your access in for guarantee material farm will not be allowed and you will have your farmed items deleted if you are caught doing this
    • You should only have 1 character enter a battleground at any time, including Al Kasava and Nuclear Bunker
    • Additional/multiple characters in a BG risk falling under this rule as well.

Using Alts or other players to farm RP

  • Farming your alts to guarantee easy RP goes against it's main function and purpose. Those found doing it from this point on risk their RP getting reset or worse.

 

Please note that Section B reports will heavily rely on Video evidence to report someone. Screenshots may not always be accepted in certain cases.

 

Section C - Wanted Registrations

Wanted Registration abuse is starting to become a means to harass players without people knowing who directly said it. As such, we are making it quite clear that should you use Wanted Registration items to harass, flame or defame another player, we will be taking action against your account.

Rules for all types of harassment fall under Section 1 - Harassment and will be acted upon.
