Basic rules

Local rules for this site

Please strictly follow the rules.
Players who cheat may have their accounts deleted, so please take care.

Introduce yourself on the Board

Communication with other players is very important in Merchant Story 3.
After registering for the game, start by introducing yourself on the in-game Board.

Multiple accounts

One person must not register two or more accounts.
The game has a system that automatically prevents multiple registrations.
If you are suspected of having multiple accounts even though you do not, an email account provided by your Internet service provider should be used to explain the situation to the administrator.
If several people share one computer and each wants a shop, please ask by email in advance.

Spoilers

These are secret details that, once learned, take away the enjoyment of discovering them yourself.
Examples include “how to make something and its ingredients” or “how to use something.”
Asking for or sharing spoilers on the Board, through Wis, or in the Tavern (chat) is strictly prohibited.

Tavern (chat)

Good manners are mandatory in the in-game Tavern (chat).
Watch your language and be careful not to treat other players disrespectfully.

Arguments and abusive language

Please refrain from arguments and abusive language.
Competition and rivalry are unavoidable, but they are only part of the game,
so do not get carried away by your emotions.
Avoid remarks that may upset others in the Tavern (chat) or on the Board as well.

Secret alliances and interference outside the game

Secretly forming an alliance outside the game to help one another is called a secret alliance. It is unfair to other players,
and is prohibited. (Cooperation using in-game Wis or the Board is allowed.)
Guilds restricted to a private circle also count as secret alliances.
Also, refrain from interfering with or contacting people outside the game after meeting them through the game.

Disrupting operations and copyright infringement

Do not cheat, troll, or otherwise interfere with operation under the game’s policies, either inside or outside the game.
Do not reproduce or use any game content without permission.

Password and participation keyword

A password that others can guess can be stolen. Choose one that only you know.
Also, be sure to write down your password.
When registering, use the exact Japanese participation keyword on the Japanese Basic rules page (Unicode code points: U+4E09 U+59C9 U+59B9 U+306E U+6708).
