# Rules of Soulbound ### Rules of Soulbound These rules exist to protect the integrity of Soulbound, ensure fairness, support a safe and respectful community, and clarify what conduct may lead to warnings, mutes, or permanent bans. All players are expected to follow these rules at all times, both in and out of game. *** #### 1. Introduction Soulbound is a multiplayer game powered by both traditional and blockchain systems. These rules govern your conduct while playing, interacting with, or transacting within the Soulbound ecosystem. By creating an account or using the game, you agree to follow these rules, our [Terms of Service](/legal-portal/terms/terms-and-conditions.md), [EULA](/legal-portal/terms/end-user-licence-agreement.md), and [Privacy Policy](/legal-portal/policies/privacy-policy.md). We reserve the right to mute, suspend, or permanently ban any account that violates these rules. *** #### 2. Real World Trading (RWT) **Strictly prohibited for Soulbound Virtual Items.** You may not: * Sell, buy, or trade in-game items, gold, or services for real-world money or cryptocurrency * Offer in-game progression or accounts in exchange for external value * Pay others to play your account **RWT involving in-game items may result in bans.** Note: **Tokenized Assets (NFTs, blockchain-based assets)** may be transferred outside the game via decentralized platforms. Soulbound does not endorse or enforce external trades and will not provide support for transactions made outside the game. *** #### 3. Macroing, Bots, and Third-Party Software You may not: * Use bots, macros, auto-clickers, or automated scripts * Use software to control, assist, or replicate gameplay activity * Use programs that modify, inject into, or read from the game client or web browser Soulbound must be played manually by humans. If you cheat using any kind of automation, even once, you risk a permanent ban. *** #### 4. Exploiting Bugs or Unintended Mechanics You must not: * Use, share, or replicate any bug or exploit to gain an advantage * Attempt to break game mechanics through unconventional sequences * Share exploit information publicly or privately If you discover a bug, report it via the official channels. Exploiting will lead to bans; reporting will be rewarded. *** #### 5. Inappropriate Language or Behaviour Soulbound is a global, inclusive community. You may not: * Use slurs, hate speech, or targeted harassment * Spam or flood chat channels * Bully, threaten, or intimidate other players * Post or share sexually explicit, discriminatory, or offensive content Light swearing may be tolerated, but excessive or abusive language will result in a mute or ban. *** #### 6. Scamming and Dishonest Conduct You may not: * Deceive or trick players to gain items, tokens, or services * Advertise fake giveaways, promotions, or rewards * Abuse the trade system to mislead others * Promise one thing and deliver another in any form of trade All scams are treated seriously. We do not mediate trust trades—use the trade system properly or not at all. *** #### 7. Games of Chance / Gambling You may not: * Host or promote games that involve luck-based outcomes with item, currency, or token wagering * Use in-game mechanics or third-party tools to simulate gambling * Participate in giveaway scams or item "doubling" schemes Gambling in any form is strictly prohibited and will result in account bans. *** #### 8. Account Sharing, Selling & Impersonation You may not: * Share your account with others * Buy or sell accounts or login credentials * Claim to be Soulbound staff or moderators All accounts are licensed, not owned. Shared access undermines player identity and will result in bans. Official Soulbound staff will never ask for your password. Staff usernames are verified and marked in all communications. *** #### 9. Solicitation and Personal Information Soulbound is not a dating platform. You may not: * Ask other players for relationships or personal information * Share your real name, email, address, or phone number * Request personal information from others This rule protects user safety and aligns with the Children’s Code and UK GDPR. *** #### 10. Multi-Logging and Fair Play Players may own multiple accounts, but must not: * Use them to gain unfair advantages (e.g., rigged minigames) * Interact between accounts to manipulate systems or results You may trade between your own accounts using official systems at your own risk. *** #### 11. Advertising, Phishing, or Unsafe Links You may not: * Advertise websites or Discords selling gold, items, accounts, or cheats * Share links to gambling, phishing, or unofficial trading platforms * Post NSFW or illegal content links Even if the link looks legitimate, do not share third-party content unless it’s been verified as safe. *** #### 12. Encouraging Rule Breaking Encouraging or helping someone else to break these rules is treated the same as breaking the rule yourself. * Don’t organize schemes to evade detection * Don’t promote bad behavior to new players * Don’t play lawyer in DMs trying to bend rules *** #### 13. Fan Sites, Tools, and Communities We love fan-run tools and Discords, but they must: * Follow these Rules and all applicable Terms * Not promote cheating, scams, or rule-breaking * Be clear that they are unofficial and not endorsed by Soulbound *** #### 14. Appeals, Mutes, and Bans If your account is muted or banned, you may submit an appeal through the official process. Some severe offenses may not be appealable. We log all reports and use both automated and human moderation systems. Repeated rule-breaking reduces your chances of successful appeal. *** #### 15. Moderation & Reporting * Use the in-game or Discord reporting tools to flag rule-breaking * Reports are reviewed either manually or through our AI-powered moderation system * We reserve the right to act on any content that breaks the spirit of the rules—even if not explicitly listed Reports involving threats, harassment, or personal safety are always prioritized. *** #### 16. Legal Notice and Discretion Your Soulbound account grants you licensed access to the game and its off-chain systems. While we fully respect and uphold your **ownership of on-chain tokenized assets**, such as NFTs or blockchain-based collectibles held in your wallet, your **game account itself is not owned property**—it is a license to participate in the Soulbound ecosystem. By participating, you agree that: * You **own and control any blockchain-based assets** linked to your wallet * You **do not own your Soulbound account**; it is provided under a limited, revocable license * If you break the rules, that license can be revoked, and access to the game—including your in-game progression, characters, and items—can be restricted or terminated We reserve the right to: * Ban, mute, or restrict accounts at our discretion for rule violations or abuse * Enforce these rules proactively or retroactively based on evolving threats to fairness or safety * Update these rules when necessary to maintain game integrity and community well-being This approach balances **player ownership of assets** with our responsibility to maintain a fair and safe environment for everyone. *** #### 17. Final Thoughts We’re here to create a fair, inclusive, and creative environment for everyone. Play fair. Be kind. And help us keep Soulbound an amazing place to play. If you’re unsure whether something violates these rules, **don’t do it.
