Shard Rules:

1. Trinity Staff has the final say in any interpretations of the rules.
2. Rules are subject to change at any time at the staff's discretion.
3. Read over all the rules from time to time. It is each player's responsibility to read and abide by all rules. Failure to do so will not excuse you from punishment/banning if you break any of the rules.
4. Have FUN on our shard, that is why it's here.
5. As this is a role-playing shard, all players are asked to give their characters an appropriate name that fits within the context of a RP environment. In other words no KeWl DoOd type names. It is at staff discretion as to whether a name is appropriate or not, if it is deemed not to be appropriate you will be asked to choose an alternate name, if you cannot come up with one the staff will be more than happy to come up with one for you (however you may not like our choices as some of us have twisted senses of humor) >:)
6. Anyone seen using the ranged spell or item tactic on the border of a town to kill monsters while protected by guards will be jailed for a time to be determined by the GM. And they may just get stuck in a jail cell with that monster! You have been warned!

PvP Rules:

PvP on Trinity is NOT ALLOWED. Exceptions are either GM run Arena tourney's or a GM sanctioned guild war, and then only between players with the guild abbreviation toggled on. No players not affiliated with the guilds at war may participate in the PvP, i.e. No friends of guild players that are not aligned with said guilds. Any players caught in PvP activity that is not sanctioned will be jailed for one real life month or possibly banned from the shard on the first offense. On the second offense the player will be permanently banned from the shard. NO EXEPTIONS. The only looting that is allowed during a guild war is if a player is slain in combat and a fellow guild mate retreives their things so they do not decay. This also applies if players from the same guild are out dungeoun hopping and not in a guild war. Other than this there will be NO LOOTING of any kind on this shard. Punishable by instant banning.
