RANKRULES Keywords: RANKRULES With the inception of racial ranks comes the rules and foundations for using them. Below are the rules to claiming, holding, and keeping racial ranks. 1: Do not claim a rank without intention of keeping it. Do not claim a rank specifically for the purpose of preventing another player from claiming it. Do not repeatedly idle out claimed ranks within a short period of time. 2: Do not hold ranks if you are not playing the character who claimed them. Do not use an autologger to reset your rank timer while you are away (autologgers are illegal, and will get you banned/destroyed anyway). Do not log a character in for short periods of time to avoid being challenged while keeping your rank. 3: Do not hold racial ranks with more than one character. 4: Respond promptly and properly when challenged for your rank. The rules for racial rank challenges are listed below: A: If challenged by a player who is one rank below you, you may not refuse the challenge on any grounds. You must report immediately to the specified location. Unranked characters are considered to be directly below holders of the lowest racial ranks. B: If challenged by a player two or more ranks below you, you may refuse only if you are currently completing a quest or an immortal event. Note that simply camping a drop does not constitute a quest. Only certain areas, such as the Darkhaven quest, are actually considered quests for the purposes of rank challenges. If you are unsure whether you are on a quest, feel free to ask an immortal. Also note that even if you refuse a challenge, a challenger may legally hunt you down on his/her own and rankkill you for your title. Many immortal events are PK-free, and thus you may not be hunted while participating in these. C: Anyone may refuse a challenge if there is an unoccupied rank of the same name. D: To challenge someone for their rank, use the wartalk channel to announce a challenge, then send a tell with a location. Do not announce the location of a rank challenge on any public channel. E: Once challenged, do not purposely kill yourself to avoid losing your rank. Rank challenges are 1vs1. Only the rank holder and challenge are to participate. Other players must not take advantage of of the PK. To claim a racial rank from someone else, the challenger must use the rankkill command on the current rank holder. As with any rules, if you see players breaking the racial rank rules, report them to an immortal. Players caught breaking these rules will be punished at the discretion of the immortal who catches them. SEE ALSO: CLAIMRANK, SHOWRANK, RACERANKS, RULES
