Soulmask Official Server Fair Operation Notice 2.0

Dear Chieftains,

In this virtual world, we believe what we're after is joy and challenges instead of argument and fight. So we sincerely call upon all players to try their best to maintain a wholesome and friendly game environment together.

  Any and all cheat codes, third-party tools, and other forms of cheating are not tolerated in the game. After confirmation, the cheating account will be forever banned and revealed in the community. We also encourage you to report to us via the Report interface or other windows, cleaning the game environment together.

Soulmask values the fairness in the game and would do anything to maintain it. Our operation team will vet these illegal behaviors and take measures accordingly. Should any player be found misbehaving in official servers, we'd have to resort to Warning, Mute, and even Account Ban, all in an attempt to protect the players' interest and ensure that every player can enjoy a fair and positive game.Thanks for your support and understanding!

5. Talk about using illegal means or exploiting game loopholes to undermine fair gaming.

1. Use bugs to build your base inside a mountain, underwater, on the map edge, or at other places.
2. Erect unauthorized building shapes.
3. Block public resource points such as excavation pits, barbarian camps or barracks, and portals, etc. (applies to both PvE and PvP No Raid servers).
4.Any structures that violate the above rules will be recorded and immediately dismantled upon verification, with no further notice issued. Repeated violations will result in additional penalties, such as account bans, depending on the severity of infractions. Therefore, we kindly ask all players to adhere to the server rules and help maintain a fair and just gaming environment.
