The Mana World Forums

I just have a few questions.

The first is about bot checks, I assume any afk activity means not being able to respond and actually moving? So if i sit down (in game) while i say go grab a snack in real life im safe? I would like a clear answer from a GM if possible just because this game has very iffy, up to interpretation rules.

In fact the website itself really lists no rules at all.
http://themanaworld.org/
Perhaps listed rules might be nice? The only rules i know for sure are no AFK botting, no phishing, use English in public chat, and no harassment (and harassment seems to be very inconsistently enforced too.)

The second is about multi-boxing. I have heard it was illegal but frankly never seen this rule enforced. I dont particularly want to debate if it should be allowed or not but i would simply like a black and white answer, is it allowed or not?

Frankly some of my friends and i play on the same network as i have multiple computers, this is another issue. The IP addresses should be exactly 1 to 2 numbers apart (with the last digit being the only different one.) Im getting a tiny bit ahead of myself here but if multi-boxing is a ban-able offense how do i protect myself in this scenario when im legitimately not multi-boxing?

Thank you in advance for answering these questions!

Answers:

1. I've sat in Hurnscald square for hours before as have others. AFK activity is just that, actually fighting mobs and and doing things while afk, not "parking"

2. Multi-boxing is not the same thing as having multiple players who use the same network. You'll know what it is when you see a Borg like freight train of low level "players" picking off random monsters one at a time. Its truly a unique experience, I've seen 5 "players" standing in a perfect row hammering on a scorpion.

quick answers, afk sitting is allowed, but dont get caught afk attacking ..... that is bannable

Multi-boxing is legal at this stage in the game, however if checked by a gm, ALL alts must answer.


Hope that helps

The answer to your questions are http://forums.themanaworld.org/viewtopi ... =12&t=2922. It was a sticky at the top of this forum.

And that also shows you what the rules are. Themanaworld.org site is really just a portal to the various places you can go, the wiki and and the forums being the most popular.

Thank you all for your most helpful answers!

also no AFK standing, or AFK pooing (two poo jokes in one day!?! I know right?), or AFK dead.
