UO Enigma – Rules and Guidelines

Welcome to UO Enigma! To ensure a fun and fair experience for everyone, we ask that all players adhere to the following rules and guidelines. We want to remind you that UO Enigma is a passion project and our hobby, driven on our free time. Please respect this.

These rules are subject to change, so please stay updated.


1. Fair Play

  • No Cheating or Exploiting: Exploiting, taking advantage of map glitches, manipulating game mechanics in unintended ways, or using unauthorized third-party software is strictly prohibited. Any program that provides an unfair advantage is considered illegal. Any item or advantage obtained by exploiting will be removed, the character may be deleted, and the IP may be banned, depending on severity. Report all bugs and exploits found.
  • Account Limit: 2 accounts are allowed. We will ban and delete any more that we find, without reaching out. This is your own responsibility to uphold.
  • No Account Sharing: Your account is your responsibility. Sharing it with others is not permitted and can result in issues such as cheating or account theft.

No Griefing: This includes, but is not limited to:


2. Game Conduct

  • Follow In-Game Mechanics: Play the game as it is intended. Do not attempt to alter the game world in unauthorized ways, including modifying game files or using unsupported clients.
  • No Spamming: Do not spam chat channels with repeated messages, advertisements, or any other disruptive content.
  • PvP Conduct: While Player vs. Player combat is a core part of the game, it should be approached with fairness. Ganking or camping players without giving them a chance to recover is discouraged. Multi-client PvP is strictly prohibited.

3. Community Interaction

  • Report Issues: If you encounter a bug, exploit, or another player breaking the rules, report it to the staff immediately.

4. Staff Interaction

  • Respect the Staff: Our staff members are here to help. We have a zero-tolerance policy for any form of staff abuse, including harassment or verbal assault.
  • No Impersonation: Do not impersonate staff or claim to have authority you do not possess. Any attempts to impersonate staff will result in an immediate and irreversible ban.

5. AFK Gathering / Unattended Gameplay

  • Unattended Gameplay Rules: Unattended resource gathering (e.g., logs, ore, fish) via script or macro is allowed, but you must be at your computer while doing so. If a staff member approaches you during this time and you fail to respond, there will be consequences.
  • Consequences for AFK Violations: Punishments for unattended gameplay violations can range from temporary jailing to the deletion of resources. Repeat offenses will result in more severe punishments, including permanent bans. This also includes activities such as gold farming, experience farming, or any similar methods that give an unfair advantage in the game.

6. Character & Pet Naming Guidelines

  • Naming Standards: Names for characters, pets, and other entities should be appropriate and inoffensive. Names that are racially motivated, sexually graphic, hateful, or otherwise inappropriate will result in disciplinary action, including forced renaming or account termination for repeat offenses.

7. Griefing

  • UO Enigma is a Felucca-style shard. Player killing, theft, looting, guild wars, territorial disputes, dungeon control, and other PvP activities are allowed and encouraged.
  • Griefing is defined as behavior intended primarily to harass another player or prevent them from reasonably participating in the game. Examples include:
  • Repeatedly killing the same player with no meaningful in-game objective.
  • Following a player across multiple locations solely to harass them.
  • Trapping players in an unfair manner.
  • Blocking events, resurrection shrines, or other important game locations.
  • Using ghosts or other mechanics to provide unintended intelligence or monitor areas in a manner that circumvents intended gameplay.
  • Excessive verbal harassment.
  • Players are expected to make reasonable efforts to avoid continued conflict. Returning repeatedly to an area occupied or controlled by hostile players, re-engaging after being defeated, or otherwise placing yourself back into an active PvP situation does not make subsequent kills griefing.
  • Staff will evaluate the overall circumstances and may take action when behavior is determined to be harassment rather than legitimate gameplay.

8. Consequences

  • Rule Violations: Breaking any of the above rules can result in warnings, temporary suspensions, or permanent bans, depending on the severity of the offense, as determined by the staff.
  • Appeals: If you feel you have been unjustly punished, you may appeal the decision by contacting the server staff. However, the staff's decision is final.

9. Real Money Trading (RMT)

Buying or selling in-game items, gold, or accounts for real-world currency is strictly prohibited. This is for the players own sake and the server health. If we get information about this it will result in disciplinary action up to and including a permanent ban.


10. Illegal Items

Items found that are not era accurate and found are to be deleted. Yes, it may hurt but its for the server balance. Some items that are not era accurate but not “useful” may still be around, used as rares and /or decorations.


11. Enjoy the Game!

Remember, the ultimate goal is to have fun and enjoy the world of UO Enigma. Play fair, be respectful, and help create a community that everyone can enjoy.

Note: The Enigma staff cannot replace lost items, tamed creatures, account-bound system points, or deleted characters or accounts.
