Reign Of Blood Terms Of ServiceThe Reign Of Blood Terms of Service, as outlined on this page, must be read and agreed to before accessing the service. If you do not agree, then you are unable to play. These terms were last updated February 2025.If you are found to have violated these Terms of Service, or any of its addendums, Reign of Blood staff may temporarily ban you from accessing parts of the game. Your account may also be completely banned, or "jailed", for an amount of time deemed necessary. Subsequent violations of the Terms of Service will carry increased penalties and restrictions. 1. YOUR REIGN OF BLOOD ACCOUNT 1.1 Age By creating an account, you agree that you are 18 years or older. If are found to be under 18 years of age, your account will be jailed. Even though you are required to be 18 years of age, we still do not allow highly offensive or illegal content (see #6.3) in any area of the game. 1.2 Multiple Accounts (Multis) You are only permitted one Reign Of Blood account. If you are found with more than one account, all accounts will be jailed. 1.3 Illegal Transfers Illegal Transfers (ITs) are transactions in which virtual currencies are traded between accounts on the same IP or network. Any illegally gained funds or equipment will be removed from the game, and further actions, such as stat losses may occur, as deemed necessary. Illegal Transfers do not include currencies bought directly from the game store (for example, Plasma, Potion Credits and RED) - these can be traded freely. You may purchase packs from the game store for any other account, even those sharing your network. This rule extends to third-party transfers where two users use a third person to transfer funds to try and get around these rules, this will result in all three users being jailed. Use of the Coven as a third party to commit Illegal Transfers is prohibited as well. 1.4 Account Sharing & Transfers All accounts remain the property of Reign Of Blood and users are given the right to access them indefinitely, so long as they do not sell, share, or give away their account. Accounts may only be used and accessed by the user who originally signed up for the account. Accounts found to have been transferred or sold to another person will be permanently jailed. Do not give your login credentials and passwords to anyone. 1.5 Disruption and Trolling Any user who engages in acts to disrupt an area of the game or to deliberately reduce other users' enjoyment of the game (including harassment, bullying, slander, or abuse) can be banned or jailed. This includes discouraging and/or shaming anyone from financially supporting or playing the game. 1.6 Encouraging Cheating Encouraging or willfully assisting another user to break any of these Terms will be considered and treated as if you broke the rules yourself. 1.7 Your Link Each user has a unique link which can be shared to earn rewards. You are not permitted to spam your link on any other website. You are not permitted to use proxies or VPN's to gain link clicks. Every link click is logged and any abuse will result in the removal of all gains and jail time. You are also not permitted to post your link in-game. 1.8 Accusations Users have the right to report users who they think could be violating these Terms. Users found deliberately making false accusations of cheating by another user will be jailed from the game.

Public areas of the game are considered chats, forums, usernames, pet/minion names, chosen equipment names, Coven and House application pages, Billboard submissions, WOTD, FOTD, blogs, scribble wall, and statuses. All of these areas are subject to public area community rules. Non-public areas include blood letters, House and Coven forums and chats, profile comments, private blogs, and private character sheets. Explicit pornography, illegal content (drug use, sexual assault, hate speech), player abuse, and soliciting or providing personal contact information are against the Terms of Service in all areas and may result in account jailing or removal from the game. Blood letters are not monitored, but content of a blood letter may be forwarded by the recipient to staff as a report for a violation. Sexual content involving minors will not be tolerated in any area of the game, including roleplay characters being portrayed as minors. 3.2 Licenses Users retain any copyright on their User Content published on this website.

There are specific profile rules which you must agree to each time you update your profile. Failure to adhere to those rules may result in you losing the ability to edit your profile, having your profile wiped, and you may be jailed. Moderators have the right to edit your profile without notice. 3.4 Covens and Houses Covens and houses are private communities within the game.

A Coven and all the items and currencies within belong solely to the Coven Owner. Users may be given special privileges to help manage the coven. Abuse of these privileges, including stealing Coven resources without owner permission, is prohibited and all involved may be jailed. Transacting with the coven is the same as transacting with the coven owner. 3.5 Coven Invites/Spam An in-game provided invitation system is the primary method to invite people to your Coven or House. While you may use Blood Letters or other contact methods to invite people to your coven, excessive spamming of invitations is prohibited. 3.6 Content Theft Users own any intellectual content that they fully create themselves. You will not steal or copy other users's created content, including but not limited to, blogs, profile writings, and RP characters. Violation may result in removal of content, loss of posting privileges, such as profile editing, blog posting, and restriction of RP features. Repeated violation of this rule can result in jailing. Staff decision is final on any conflict or opposition of the contents origin, and staff will decide on a case by case basis on what action to take if required.

Violation may result in being banned from community sections of the game or jailed entirely. If another player is harassing you, you have the option to BLOCK them.

Trying to circumvent a block through either third parties or public areas of the game can result in your account being jailed. Creating statuses or blogs naming or otherwise definitively identifying someone that has blocked you or that you have blocked will be considered block circumvention. The primary function of blocking is to stop a vampire from being able to contact you (for example, Blood Letters and comments). It also hides select content (for example, public status updates and profile content). However, keep in mind that this is a public game with public spaces and you may see still vampires you have blocked show up in-game features, for example, battle lists, forum posts, etc. 3.8 Solicitation The solicitation or any transaction of real-life money through Reign of Blood is not permitted.
