Penalty Catalog
Last updated: 2026-10-23. The Penalty Catalog sets how long an account is banned for a rule violation. The sections correspond to the Game Rules. The duration depends on the speed of the server: time passes faster on faster servers, so bans are shorter there.
How to read it: Normal = server with normal speed, Battle = Battle server, Speed = Speed server. Surcharge = days added to the ban for each repeat offence. How serious an offence is, is decided by the team in every case. The ban applies to logging in and freezes the account.
| Rule | Offence | Ban Normal | Ban Battle | Ban Speed | Surcharge on repeat (Normal / Battle / Speed) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| §1 | Law | 15 days | 10 days | 7 days | 10 / 7 / 5 days |

Special cases
- Multi-accounting (§6): The stated duration applies to the weakest of the accounts involved. All other accounts are banned permanently.
- Content (§2): The team may delete the players concerned even without a prior warning.
- Insults (§4): The first time, the Game Rules provide for a warning. In severe cases the highest penalty applies and can extend up to exclusion.
- Passing on accounts (§3): It is forbidden and punished like sitting (§5), with the same duration and the same surcharge.
- Hiding your origin (§12): Punished in addition to multi-accounting (§6) or sitting (§5) if one of them applies, not instead of it. Since 2026-10-04, a shared internet connection with several accounts falls directly under multi-accounting (§6), no longer under §12 — there is no longer any way to report or have it tolerated.
Community
In addition to this catalog, each area of the community has its own rules (for example for a forum or a chat). You must also accept them when you sign up in the respective area.
Assessment
For players who, because they are minors or for other reasons, cannot validly accept the Game Rules, the Terms of Use or this catalog, the catalog serves as a uniform standard for violations. The team classifies and assesses every offence.
Partial invalidity
If individual provisions of this catalog are wholly or partly invalid, or if a provision is missing, the remaining provisions remain in force. An invalid or missing provision is replaced by the rule that comes closest to its purpose.
