MabiPro: The Authentic Old-School Mabinogi Experience

Please read the updates carefully. By continuing to use the services you agree you will follow these terms. In addition, in this thread, I will be highlighting the updates and changes and will explain them transparently.

Change 1: The MabiPro Staff provides this website, forum, and game subject to your compliance with the TOS-R&R set forth in this agreement >and it is at the discretion of any staff involved to enforce these terms as each staff member sees fit.<

This change was to help make it clear that the way situations are handled are with the consideration of context and severity. Each Game Master has a different way of thinking and processing situations and each Game Master has a different level of patience so these situations will certainly be handled in different ways. This change merely reflects that this is the case.

Change 2: A lot of language has been altered slightly in an effort to make it more easy to understand. Each instance does not need to be stated, as it would take too long to type it out and explain each structural difference.


Change 3: 1.4a Server Abuse- [Sharing Accounts]
Sharing accounts is prohibited. Every user involved found to be sharing accounts will be treated as one individual breaking any rules infringed on either persons accounts and punishments will be handed out accordingly and without discrimination.

Attempts to bypass this rule via obfuscation or other methods will result in a permanent ban of all accounts associated with the offending users.

This rule is unlikely to result in any severe punishment on its own however it is going to be taken into consideration upon future, not past, infractions. If you have in the past shared accounts with a user please submit a ticket to let it be known so previous access violations will not be taken into consideration from before today. This change serves as a way to make moderation more practical and secure for the Game Masters and to reduce confusion and the ability to bypass bans by simply playing on a friends account.


Change 4: 2.1a Game Usage - [Harassment, Sexual Harassment, and Pernicious behavior]
Harassment, Sexual Harassment, Uncivil and Pernicious behavior (also known as "Toxic Behavior", "Obnoxious Behavior") is not tolerated here.
During interactions with other players please keep your behavior at a mature and respectable level.
Examples of harassment, sexual harassment, and pernicious behavior includes: Engaging into vulgar strong language with non-consenting players, engaging into lustful conversations and activities with non-consenting players, preventing the player from engaging into social activities or services unless for good reason, showing pernicious behavior in a very immature level to other players, spamming, flaming, creating crisis, a catastrophic or hostile environment. We expect all players to be civil and to foster a welcoming community for everyone else.

For clarity on how we expect users to behave, we updated these terms to include the words "Uncivil", "Civil", "Hostile", and have worded some changes around this. Instances of this rule being broken are one of the situations where a Game Master's discretion will be used.


Change 5: 2.2a Game Usage-[Multi Clienting]

Any usage of multiple clients that could be considered "Cheating", "Unfair", "Exploitative" or otherwise abusive or against the spirit of the game in a way that gives you an unfair advantage in ways that you cannot obtain without excessive use multi clienting are not allowed.
Excessive use is for example running shadow missions over a long enough period of time to get extra gold, rewards, drop chances and event items in a way that puts you at a severe advantage over those who either do not or can not multi client to the same repeated degree.

Any action of Game Usage-[Multi Clienting] is subject to having the offending alternate accounts banned for three days first offense, one week second offense and permanently for the third offense with the ability to request limited item recovery from the characters if necessary and chance for later appeal after a period of three months.

This change is due to balance issues and critical problems that have been noticed in the economy and community which, due to alternate accounts being used to increase loot caps, puts new players with poor computers or players who do not with to ruin the spirit of the game at a severe disadvantage. We put a lot of time and effort considering and thinking about the best way to put a lid on this issue and this is our answer.


Change 6: 2.4a Game Usage - [Scamming]
We have a zero tolerance on scamming in game.
Scamming includes tricking the player to gain the player's item without giving the player's requested item back during trade.
Other forms of scamming include abusing "Drop Trades", "Mail Trades" or "Real Life Currency" trades without giving the player back the requested item and exploiting bugs or errors in coding to pick up items not intended for you to obtain such as raid drops.

The MabiPro Staff will evaluate any trades and take action should the staff detect any scamming.

Any action of [Game Usage - Scamming] Is subject to account ban as first offense, account termination, and blocked from accessing the website and its services as Second Offense.


Just don't use the monkeys to steal raid boss drops or other similar methods.


As for this thread I encourage questions and concerns being expressed but keep in mind these changes are here to stay and all I can do is attempt to alleviate confusion and concern. Thank you for understanding, and feel free to make yourself heard as always.

Thanks for continuing to play Mabi Pro!
