Using public domains or IPs can also result in falsely being banned since accounts become connected under the same address.

 

• 2.0 - You must show an acceptable level of respect towards other players, maintaining yourself accordingly and not engaging in hostile conversations. Being disrespectful or harassing someone will only result in them being disrespectful back to you, whereas if you're friendly and help others, they are likely to do the same with you.
