 While in-game, we expect all players to have a basic respect and understanding for other community
members and the ASDA GLOBAL (AG) staff.

 And the punishment can be strengthened according to the case and degree. And also punishable if you are involved with the associated account.
 
Then, please keep this information in mind:

6. War Abusing
 
Faction War Rules
 
[updated Feb. 23, 2021] 
■ Fixed an issue where the player near the baseline is able to attack the opponent who is standing inside the basecamp.
- Fixed the issue where the attack continues even if you move inside the base camp after the first stroke from opponents in the faction war.
- Fixed the issue where you are attacked with a range skill while standing inside the base camp in the faction war.
 
Attacking the players inside the base camp intentionally is not allowed.
- This mechanism is currently under discussion with the development team. 
BUT if you intentionally use any skills to attack the players inside the base camp, you will get the proper punishment.
 
[updated March. 30, 2021] 
■Fixed an issue where the player is able to attack the opponent from inside the baseline in the faction war.
 
■Using multiple accounts of the opposite faction for entering the war to let more players on the battlefields. 
■Abusing multiple accounts to earn more points or win the match.
■Using multiple accounts of the opposite faction to give the points away. (Intended feeding) 

 

 

-  If we find these cases from the play/access logs, both accounts (The main character and the infringer) will get banned.
 
■Taking advantage of parry abuse will not be allowed.   
1- If we see a warrior who stays in the base and keeps using Parry skill only, this will be considered as "Abusing", not the actual gameplay. 
2- Both the main character and bot character's accounts will be blocked to access  our game by following steps.  
 
※ Game admins will be randomly watching wars. Players' reports without proper evidence won't be taken as proof.
 
 
 
 These are not tolerable in the Faction war, and we will consider these cases as 'Abusing bug/Loophole'.
 Please take a screenshot/video and report it to AG staff. If it's confirmed, the violator's account will get banned as below:
 
1st: 1 day from our service.
2nd: 7 days from our service. 
3rd: 30 days from our service.  
4th: permanent from our service.
 
 
If you intentionally use bugs and deceive the rules, you may face the proper punishment.
