Polices Part 6: Power Levelling
Help Policies6
There is a 15-level limit on grouping for xp gain in order to prevent low-level people with high-level friends from having huge advantages over true
new players. Methods of aiding other players without grouping are illegal,
as they ignore this limit. Staying in level range of a friend to group
and fight together is one thing; having that friend be 150 levels higher
than you is quite another.
Wounding a mob and then fleeing to let someone else kill it is illegal,
regardless of the levels involved- whether for experience, an item on the
mob, or just to keep someone else from killing it. Similarly, healing
someone while they fight a tough mob is also illegal.
Though the intent of these rules is to focus on individual effort, it does
not mean you can't receive any assistance whatsoever. Getting aid from a
higher-level friend via spells or clearing some aggressive monsters once in
a while to help get to a quest or campaign target is fine. Clearing the
entire path and wounding the target is not. Use common sense.
The only exception to this teamwork is global quests. Winning a gquest is
an individual accomplishment and aid on global quests has a negative impact
on the other participants. It is illegal to have others repeatedly kill a
gquest mob you have already killed, kill key mobs, attack a gquest mob and
remove weapons, etc. Other rules pertaining to campaigns/gquests are given
in 'help cp rules' and 'help gq rules'. Win these by your own merit- don't
have others do the dirty work for you.
