PLAY NICE POLICIES

In addition to the general guidelines listed in Player Ethics Guide,
players are also subject to these supplementary rules while playing the
Game and as these are considered as part of the Ethics Guide.

While by no means an all-inclusive list of the do's and don'ts in the
Game, it provides a suitable guideline in which players can determine
what activities are appropriate:

1. You may not use any languShaiya Prophesy that is offensive, of racist
nature, obscene or otherwise inappropriate. This includes, but is not
limited to, all manners of swearing, threats, blackmail, discussion of
recreational drugs, sexually explicit languShaiya Prophesy and racism or anything
prejudice. As offensive languShaiya Prophesy can interpreted in many forms, it will
be the mandate of Shaiya Prophesy & Entertainment to make a
determination as to whether or not a 'reasonable person' would feel
offended and act accordingly.

2. You may not harass other players. Harassment is defined as
specifically targeting another player, or group of players, to harm or
inconvenience them. As harassment can take many forms, it will be the
mandate of Shaiya Prophesy & Entertainment to make a determination as to
whether or not a 'reasonable person' would feel harassed and act
accordingly.

3. You may not discriminate against other players or groups.
Discrimination is the treatment of a person based on the group, class,
or category to which that person belongs rather than on individual
merit. As discrimination can take many forms, it will be the mandate of
Shaiya Prophesy & Entertainment to make a determination as to whether
or not a 'reasonable person' would feel discriminated against and act
accordingly.

4. You may not disrupt normal gameplay. Any repeated
activities that result in disruption of normal gameplay are prohibited.
As defining normal gameplay can take many forms, it will be the mandate
of Shaiya Prophesy & Entertainment to make a determination as to whether
or not a 'reasonable person' would be unable to play normally and act
accordingly.

5. You may not engShaiya Prophesy in fraudulent behavior. Fraud is the misrepresentation of facts for personal benefit.

6. You may not exchange account information. You may neither
give, receive, nor ask about account information (to include passwords,
email address, or any other information not available in the public
profile).

7. You may not operate a clan, guild, or any other group that violates these rules.

- Shaiya Prophesy and Entertainment recognizes that these rules are not
all inclusive. Other actions may be determined as abuse by staff of
Shaiya Prophesy and Entertainment.

request that the suspension be reviewed and the account re-activated. It
