Multiplaying

There is no limit to the number of characters (alts) you can have on The Two Towers. We recommend that you play each character as a separate and distinct persona.

We require that you observe the following rules:


1. You may NEVER have more than one character on at the same time. NOTE: Linkdead characters count as being logged on.

2. Your characters cannot aid each other in ANY WAY:


a. Equipment, items, or gold may NOT be transferred between your characters, except through a shop (i.e., Player A must sell it, then log in as Player B and _buy_ it). Using a secondary player as an intermediary is still considered an illegal transfer.

b. Using a guild shop or player-run shop where you can set your own prices is also considered an illegal transfer. Items inside a guildhall are common property. You may not take any item from a guild of which your alt is a member.

c. Using the find command and then logging on with an alt to use that information to the alt's advantage is not allowed.

d. Using alts to "tag team" one player or NPC is not allowed. (eg. main_player gets monster down to 10 hp and then logs on the alt to make the kill and collect the treasure).

3. You may not have more than one character in the same guild or clan.

4. All characters are NON-TRANSFERABLE. Selling, giving, allowing access to a character is strictly forbidden. Violations of this rule may result in the destruction of all your characters and potentially a siteban.



There are also rules related to revealing the identity of alternate characters:


A. You may not publicly (comms, boards, shouts, or similar) discuss the existing alts of anyone, including yourself. This includes publicly asking for, or publicly offering to tell someone about, anyone's alternate characters.

B. You may publicly disclose your former identities (past characters). You may discuss the former identities of other players, so long as it is not used as a form of harassment.

C. Discussion of the alts, /real or imagined/, of Ainur, by anyone, especially the Ainur themselves, is strictly forbidden.




BE ADVISED:

----------


Revealing current alternate character information is only allowed in private communications (tells, etc). Be advised however that if you choose to reveal your other identities, you must live with the inevitability that people you don't want knowing this information WILL find it out.

Revealing past alternate characters involves the risk of other players and perhaps even administrators treating you based on your past character's behaviors. Reveal your past identities only at your own risk.

There is usually no way to confirm the claimed former identities of a typist. Therefore no gold, equipment, or other reward or advantage should be given to someone based on their past identity claims.

Overlords, Valar, and Powers have the right to ask you who your past characters are and you are obliged to answer truthfully.
