Laws of Crimson Moon
Below you will find the various laws of Crimson Moon. This law or a.k.a.
(rule) page defines what is and isn't allowed in the game and is expected to be
followed in conjunction with the Terms
Of Service! These laws apply to all players of Crimson Moon. You will not
receive special treatment based on any Upgrade Store purchases, Rank or VIP
Status.
Unless specified under each law all Crimson Moon staff will use the following
guidelines in establishing punishments or jail-time for those players who fail
to follow the laws of Crimson Moon!
We reserve the right to edit and change the laws at anytime. Any major
changes to the laws will be announced to players.
The default guidelines are the following:
First Offense: Warning
Second Offense: 7 days in jail
Third Offense: 14 days in jail
Fourth Offense: 21 days in jail
Fifth Offense: 28 days in jail
Sixth Offense: Banned permanently |
The above jail terms are per Terms Of Service or Law Violation. This
means that no matter the rule (law) broken, your total number of offenses
will increase by one.

Staff members also have the ability to
take away areas of the game from players if abused. These areas
include:
Mail | Profile | Signatures |
In-Game Chats | Forums | Stone Wall | Battle Win Message
The following guidelines pertain to each individual area and are
considered along with jail time if necessary. Please note these take
affect after you've been released from jail.
The default guidelines are the following:
First Offense: Warning
Second Offense: 7 day ban from area
Third Offense: 14 day ban from area
Fourth Offense: Banned permanently from
area |
The above guidelines are per area so each
offense is based on the area the offense occurred in. However,
Upon staff member discretion any listed area can be permanently
removed from a player account for blatant disregard for the
rules or abuse of that area.
