Decisions in this regard are totally at the discretion of the UODreams Staff or GamesNet!

Focus On Penalties

Penalties are not just punishments but they represent an effective deterrent to prevent the recurrence of unwanted behaviour.

Therefore to those players who continue to not observe and comply with regulations, directives and decisions, and act as recidivist the Staff will apply a proportional increase in penalties for recidivism and the seriousness of the offense itself.

The recidivism of a player is classifiable based on the repetition of a specific behavior (or linked to it) and will be punished with harsher punishment of 2 days for each infraction of the same type within the past 6 months.

Es: a jail of 2 days is given for Verbal. The player has committed the same infringement over the past 6 months and then will have a harsher punishment of 2 days.
Then 2 + 2 = 4 days of jail.
If he will repeat the same error (with the same gravity) will have 2 + 2 + 2, and so on...

Es2: a jail of 5 days is given for Verbal. The player has committed the same infringement over the past 6 months and then will have a harsher punishment of 2 days.
Then 5 + 2 = 7 days of jail.
If he will repeat the same error (with the same gravity) will have 5 + 2 + 2, and so on...

If the jails are for Macro Away on the Heartwood quest or Cooperative Collections, the calculation of recidivism and their punishment will be different, but always counted in the last 6 months.

A. Heartwood

• 1° jail 1day
• 2° jail 2days
• 3° jail 3days + 1.5KK gold coin
• 4° jail 4days + 2KK gold coin
• 5° jail 5days + 2.5KK gold coin
• 6° jail 15days + Wipe items, skills and/or stats

• 5° jail 5days + Wipe of the points of all the collection
• 6° jail 15days + Wipe items, skills and/or stats
• 7° jail 15days + Total Wipe and/or ban

The serious fault or negligence of having repeatedly violated or disregarded the requirements in regulations, directives or decisions; the intolerable nuisance proved to UODreams and the community of players may cause the loss of everything a player has in the game (WIPE) or the ban from the GamesNet panel (BAN).
