heating is a very serious offense and subjects ALL characters involved to a slay, purge (loss of all equipment), freeze, balzhur (destruction of all equipment and public demotion to level 2), deny or even a site ban.
What is considered cheating?
exploiting (intentionally using) a bug to gain equipment or gold
intentionally causing the system to crash
intentionally duplicating equipment or money
knowingly accepting illegal equipment (see above) from others
attempting to duplicate equipment or money -- * even if not successful *
using or making profit from equipment that was accidentally duplicated
using money that was accidentally duplicated
Cheating hurts the game, and every player in the game. Protect yourself and report any bugs you find, and inform the Immortals if you have strong cause to believe someone is engaged in any of the above.
If you find you have accidentally duplicated an item, turn the item over immediately to an Immortal or drop and sacrifice the item.
