1. Prohibition of Multi-Accounting
- Multi-accounting is strictly prohibited. Players may only have and use one account.
- Violations of this prohibition will result in a permanent game ban for all affected accounts.
2. Trade and Gifts between Accounts in the Same Household
Trading and gifting between different players in the same household is generally not prohibited, as long as the trade is fair and balanced and both parties benefit equally. However, it is important to emphasize that this applies only to different players who each own their own account. Multi-accounting, meaning owning and using multiple accounts by a single player, is still strictly prohibited and will result in a permanent ban for all affected accounts (see Point 1).
Important: Any attempts to circumvent the trade rules by sending items through third parties or indirectly between accounts will also be detected and penalized. If there is suspicion of multi-accounting, it will be investigated and possibly punished.
3. One-Sided Transfers between Any Accounts (Pushing)
Trading and gifting are an exchange, not a funding programme: they must be fair and balanced between any players, not only within the same household. Transferring items, gold, or other value predominantly in one direction to another account over a longer period, without a recognisable return ("pushing" or "feeding"), gives the receiving account an unfair advantage. This applies regardless of whether the accounts involved belong to the same person, to friends, or to strangers, and regardless of whether the transfer is made directly or through intermediaries. Violations may result in a permanent trade ban for all accounts involved; additional violations (such as automation or multi-accounting) may lead to further penalties.
Why These Fair Play Guidelines Are Important
1. Level Playing Field for Everyone:
Every player should play under the same conditions. If someone has multiple accounts or engages in unauthorized trading practices, it gives them an unfair advantage over other players.
2. Game Balance and Challenge:
KnightManager is designed so that progress and success are achieved through skillful play and the use of your abilities. Unfair methods like multi-accounting can disrupt the balance of the game and reduce the challenge.
3. Fair Competition Conditions:
A fair competitive environment motivates all players to improve and develop their skills. If some players use unfair advantages, it reduces the incentive for everyone else to strive and play fairly.
4. Trust and Integrity:
By adhering to these rules, we help to strengthen trust in the game and its community. Everyone should be confident that others are also playing fairly.
