Last update: February 2003
Our aim is to provide the best possible playing experience for Dark Age of Camelot, both in the game and on the official European site. To achieve this, everybody wishing to benefit from this service should respect this Charter of Good Conduct.
Legality
No illegal activity is permitted within the Dark Age of Camelot, on its site or more generally in the environment connected with the game. The encouragement of such activities or the supply of means by which such activities could be practised will not be tolerated.
It is forbidden to supply the means of access to software of an illegal and/or harmful nature (such as viruses or hacking/pirating programs).
Links connecting to websites which do not respect this Charter are liable to be removed, as are links to websites of which the contents are judged to be inappropriate by members of the GOA team. Furthermore, we offer our members the possibility of publishing content (mainly texts and pictures). However, we reserve the right to delete any elements of such content that do not respect this Charter if they are judged to be inappropriate by our team.
Under no circumstances can GOA be held responsible for the contents published on the site by its users.
Responsibility
All users are responsible for their own actions in the game and on the site, and for any comments that they make there. Furthermore, GOA cannot be held responsible for any lack of protection on a user's computer.
Content published by users is their sole responsibility.
We reserve the right to remove any content published by users, without issuing prior warning to the user concerned.
Under no circumstances can GOA be held responsible for users' actions.
The user must be positioned at his or her screen whenever his or her character performs an action that normally requires human intervention (activating a macro, issuing a command, pressing a button, etc.).
When you receive advice, the choice of following such advice is your responsibility. Remember that users giving you advice may come from very different backgrounds and have very varied levels of experience (although they may not be aware of this).
Contributing to respect for the Charter
Help us to make the site and the game a place of conviviality and community. You can do this by respecting the Charter and encouraging others to respect it.
If you meet users who do not seem to have understood the Charter, politely invite them to read it.
Rules of good conduct
Users are expected to show respect for one another, to contribute to the cordial atmosphere of the game. Harassment of another person, insults or remarks intended to hurt another person will not be tolerated.
Of course, we expect our members to express themselves using correct language. Similarly, racist, xenophobic or revisionist remarks, or remarks displaying intolerance of a religious, ideological, philosophical or similar nature will not be accepted.
"Flooding" (the rapid systematic repetition of one phrase, which interferes with communication between users) is forbidden, as is all abuse of the means of communication that can be accessed on the site.
It is forbidden to pretend to be a volunteer, a Gamemaster or a member of the GOA team.
It is forbidden to indulge in hacking (pirating) activities and to encourage others to indulge in them. It is also forbidden to distribute software enabling such activities to be practised, or viruses and other programs or scripts that may harm other users.
The role of volunteers is to help other players (often sacrificing some of their own playing time in the process). We will react particularly strongly to any persecution of or threats made to volunteers, as we will to any such behaviour directed at GOA and the people working for it.
Players undertake not to make use of any bugs, nor to use any undocumented functions, nor to exploit any possible design faults. Players also undertake to notify GOA personnel of the presence of any bugs, undocumented functions or design faults that they may discover as soon as possible.
GOA accommodates servers in three different languages (English, French and German). You can connect to a server using a foreign language, but if you communicate on the main channels, please use the language of the server.
Names of characters and guilds
Although character names in keeping with the age and kingdom in which they are to develop are welcome, players are free to give their characters whatever names and nicknames they wish, as long as they respect the following rules. Please note that these rules also apply to guild names and surnames.
- No names with insulting, degrading or racist connotations.
- Names must consist solely of alphanumeric characters.
- No religious, sexual or political references.
- No brand names, product names, character names or any other elements subject to copyright.
- No inciting of illegal conduct.
- No references that degrade other players' characters or GOA personnel.
- No titles of nobility or prestige. Some of these can be acquired on the Camelot battlefields.
- The names of legendary people from the three kingdoms are tolerated, but please bear in mind that developments in the game may bring these names into question.
- No names that could suggest that the character may belong to the GOA team or have the status of Volunteer or Gamemaster.
- No names of towns, regions or characters in the game. If necessary, however, guild names may make reference to such places or characters.
- All these bans also apply to combinations, homonyms and alternative spellings of such names as are disallowed by this Charter.
GOA reserves the right to implement penalties imposed on players whose character names impair the community spirit of the game.
The role of volunteers
First and foremost, it is important to remember that volunteers are above all players. They have chosen voluntarily to become more involved in the game and have received the approval of GOA. They are not subject to any form of constraint and are entirely free to play without the obligation of carrying out volunteers' duties.
They must therefore respect this Charter without enjoying any specific privileges over other players.
For safety reasons, GOA will limit the number of volunteers and ensure that these roles are not entrusted to people seeking to spoil the atmosphere of the game.
It is possible that volunteers may be entrusted with specific abilities to enable them to help other players and maintain the good atmosphere of the game.
Volunteers may play the role of a particular character assigned by a Gamemaster (GM) for a given period of time. For each NPC, there is a specific NPC sheet that is given to the volunteer. This sheet details the character's personality and limitations, and his or her role in the different frameworks written by GOA. Any volunteer who does not respect the aforementioned limitations will be divested of the NPC role, in order to avoid any problems relating to the storylines and events written by the GOA teams.
Gamemasters will never give volunteers NPCs who may be liable to kill other players, even during the struggle between kingdoms, or NPCs possessing a craft score. These two aspects of characters will remain the privileged domain of the players.
In the event of technical problems, volunteers (particularly moderators) or GOA technical assistants may be required to give advice to users. We would draw your attention to the fact that both of these parties can only give you advice, and not the one and only solution. It is up to you to follow this advice if you judge it to be appropriate. Any modification that you make to your computer system remains your sole responsibility.
GOA reserves the right to suspend or withdraw a volunteer's privileges at any time. We consider this to be the best way to protect the user community from potential abuse of these privileges and to prevent any such abuse. Moreover, the abuse of these privileges may result in the termination of the account involved, as may any other violation of this Charter.
Any player is free to adopt the role of "advisor" during the game, via the "/advisor" command. He or she can then receive requests for assistance from the other players and user his or her experience to help them. As with all other elements of the game, abuse of this status with a view to spoiling the atmosphere of the game may result in the imposition of penalties.
Property and publicity
A DAoC account is personal and individual. You cannot open an account in the name of a company, an association or any other legal entity without express prior written consent from GOA. You are also not entitled to give, sell, lease, lend or exchange your account under any circumstances. No virtual object, character or currency in the game may be the object of a pecuniary transaction, under any form or circumstances. Any activity of this kind may result in the application of various sanctions, including termination of the account.
GOA provides you with a large number of spaces for expressing yourself. It is forbidden to use these spaces for commercial or advertising purposes.
Penalties
GOA reserves the right (at any time and without prior notice) to reduce access to or block an account temporarily or definitively if the user has not respected this Charter, has encouraged another user not to respect the Charter or has caused harm to the user community.
Characters whose names do not respect this Charter may be renamed by GOA. This does not exclude the imposition of other sanctions concerning this particular violation of the Charter.Advice to users
We strongly advise you never to give personal information that could be used to identify you (social security number, telephone number, home address, etc.) to anyone you do not know.
GOA reserves the right to modify this Charter at any time and without prior notice. By accepting this Charter, you also accept the changes that may be made to it. We advise you to come and consult the Charter regularly to see if changes have been made, as it is frequently revised with the aim of encouraging convivial behaviour on the site.

RvR rules :
<snip>
The three following examples may seem unfair, but are perfectly fitting the total and merciless war between the realms of Dark Age of Camelot.
- Siegfried, a young and brave level 20 paladin offered to duel Grrak, a berserker troll (using an out of game forum or something). The last comes to the meeting with all his guild, 30 characters level 50, and they totally annihilate the poor paladin.
Of course those example are perfectly “legal” in DaoC even if they are not what you should see too often. You are absolutely free to show mercy, honour and bravery in RvR but please note that this is not at all an obligation and that others may not follow the same rules than you do. You will have to learn about your enemies, know their weaknesses and strengthes, remember those who are loyal and those who betrayed you.
