    As we all know, we are in the midst of a global pandemic affecting each and everyone of us. It is especially during these times that we should remember that our words and actions have an affect on those around us.

    Since the Covid-19 Pandemic started we have had a small number of players making characters, or pets with names that make light of this disease. This type of behavior has never been acceptable under our TOS, and as we are made aware of them appropriate action is being taken.

    Due this issue arising, we have updated the Naming Policy to cover referring to sensitive topics, including Religion, Race, Orientation, or other matters of a political or personal nature.

    We have one of the best longstanding player communities, let's continue to be supportive of each other and not make light of something affecting each of our families.

    Please remember that if you are harassed in game for any reason, on the forums, Discord or even on an official Twitch Stream channel, please do not hesitate to let us know. In game you can use /reportplayer or use the right click menu and choose the report option.

    In the event you cannot successfully make a report in game, please reach out to a Moderator or support@portalarium.com with details and any screen captures or logs you may have.

    Repeat offenders risk suspension or a lifetime ban for any TOS violation.
