Game Rules

Last updated 20 September 2026

Fallen Marches is a shared world, and these are the rules that keep it worth playing. They cover how you treat other players, how you play fairly, what you must not trade, and the names you choose.

These are not a separate set of rules. They are the rules of play in paragraph 4 of our Terms of Service, reproduced here word for word so you do not have to read a contract to find them. Breaking them is breaking those terms.

Rules of play

Fallen Marches is a shared world. These rules are what keep it playable for everyone, and they apply to everything you do in the game, in chat and on our site.

How you treat other players

  • Do not post, send or transmit anything that is abusive, threatening, harassing, hateful, obscene, defamatory, or that promotes violence or discrimination against anyone.
  • Do not impersonate anyone, including another player and anyone connected with us.
  • Do not share anyone else’s personal information, and do not ask another player for theirs.
  • Do not send unsolicited advertising, spam or chain messages, and do not use chat to promote anything commercial.
  • Do not post anything unlawful, or anything that infringes someone else’s rights.

Fair play

  • Do not use bots, macros, scripts, automation, or any modified or third party client to play the game or to interact with our servers.
  • Do not deliberately exploit a bug or an error in the game. If you find one, please tell us at [email protected].
  • Do not interfere with the game protocol, send crafted or altered messages to our servers, or try to gain access to data or functions that the game does not give you.
  • Do not use anyone else’s account or credentials.
  • Do not create a new account to evade a mute, a suspension or a ban.
  • Do not play multiple accounts at the same time (you may register multiple accounts but they must not be simultaneously logged in).

No real world trading

You must not buy, sell, exchange or offer accounts, characters, items, coins or in game services for real money or for anything else of real world value, whether through our site or anywhere else. Nothing in the game has any real world value, as paragraph 6 explains.

Names

Your username and character name are visible to other players and appear on our public leaderboards. They must not be offensive, impersonate anyone, advertise anything, or contain personal information. Please do not use your real name, your email address or any other personal information as a name. We may reset a name that breaks this rule.

What happens if you break the rules

If we reasonably believe that you have broken these terms, we may take one or more of the following steps, choosing the one we think is proportionate to what has happened:

  • give you a warning;
  • remove or edit something you have posted, or reset an offending name;
  • remove items, coins or progress obtained by cheating or by exploiting a bug;
  • mute your access to chat;
  • suspend your account for a period; or
  • close your account permanently.

Automated systems apply our chat filter and our rate limits. They can block a message or a request, and they can mute your access to chat for up to 24 hours when your messages repeatedly match our safety filters. A person decides every suspension and ban.

We will tell you what we have done and why, unless telling you would prejudice an investigation or we are prevented from doing so by law. If you think we have got it wrong, you can appeal. A mute can be appealed from your account dashboard and a suspension or ban from the sign-in screen; for anything else email [email protected]. We will look at it again either way, and we aim to reply within 5 UK business days.

If you hold a paid subscription when we suspend or close your account under this paragraph, we do not refund it. We do not refund the time you cannot play, or the unused part of a period you have paid for, because that loss is caused by your breach, and we keep those sums towards the costs and losses your breach has caused us. If we look at it again and overturn the suspension or the ban, we put that right, by extending your subscription by the time you lost, or by refunding the unused part of the period if your account was closed. Nothing in this paragraph affects your legal rights.

If another player is breaking these rules, or if you find a bug in the game, please tell us at [email protected]. Reporting a bug is always better than using it.

These rules are paragraph 4 of our Terms of Service, and what we may do when they are broken is paragraph 5.
