VMK Legacy Rules
The VMK Legacy ("VMKL") rules are in place for the safety and well-being of our guests. Failure to adhere to these rules will result in points applied to your account and/or the issuance of temporary or permanent bans. Report any rule-breaking behavior via the Call for Help tool.
- Inappropriate content and topics are not allowed. This includes, but is not limited to, obscene, racist, abusive, offensive, threatening, harassing, and sexually explicit language and content, as well as hate speech. Do not attempt to circumvent or bypass the in-game dictionary (“dictionary dancing”).
- No solicitations or advertisements are allowed. These include advertisements for your business or latest get-rich-quick scheme. Such notes add clutter and devalue conversation.
- Excessive spamming of the chat for the purpose of disruption is not allowed.
- Do not suggest, encourage, or engage in illegal or law-breaking activity. We will assist law enforcement officials in regards to any illegal or law-breaking behavior.
- Do not share sensitive personal information, including but not limited to: phone numbers, addresses, and Social Security numbers. Do not share any personal information of anyone other than yourself, sensitive or not. Share at your own risk; you are solely responsible for any of your own information you choose to tell others.
- Do not impersonate or pretend to be other players or VMKL staff members.
- Multiple account abuse is prohibited. You may have one additional ("clone") account aside from your main account. The additional account may not be used to gain any advantages over other players. This includes, but is not limited to, gaining additional quest and event prizes, gaining additional unique per-player items, and entering contests on multiple accounts. You may not effectively use another person as a clone, even if you are not logging onto multiple accounts.
- You may not log on to an account that is not your own to participate in events, quests, or contests for another person. You are responsible for any chat or actions made on your account. You are encouraged to keep personal account information private, including passwords.
- Off-site trading and selling VMKL items/accounts is prohibited. You may not trade or sell VMKL items or credits for items, currencies, goods, or services existing outside of VMK Legacy. This includes, but is not limited to, items from other games, commissions, and real money. Suspicious numbers of one-sided trades may be flagged as off-site trading and/or considered abuse of multiple accounts. Consequences may include bans, trade reversals, and/or loss of items for all parties involved.
- Do not scam other players. Do not be deceitful or misleading to acquire items or credits. You are responsible for any trades you accept.
- Do not attempt to evade bans by using other accounts. You must serve the full length of any ban issued.
- Do not abuse the Call for Help tool. Do not spam, send false reports, or file non-urgent bug reports using the Call for Help tool.
- Do not exploit or abuse bugs or glitches in the game. Report any players exploiting bugs or glitches using the Call for Help tool. Bug reports should be submitted via the bug reporting form.
- Modifying the game, intentionally trying to break it, or using supplemental tools to reverse engineer it or give yourself an advantage is prohibited. If you have a concern, it should be raised with staff -- even with good intentions, performing your own security testing without staff permission is not allowed and is cause for a ban.
- Use good judgment and common sense. VMKL staff reserve the right to take action for any other inappropriate situations not specifically mentioned in these rules. These rules are subject to change at the discretion of VMKL staff, with notice.
- By use of this site and the VMK Legacy game, you agree to abide by the VMK Legacy Terms of Service.
Other Policies
- You may request a name change no more than once every 6 months via the In-Game Name tab of the Help button.
- Effective 2/1/2023, In-Game Names may be forfeited if requested by another player and the account occupying the IGN has not logged in within the last rolling year.
