    Due to some recent events, we wanted to take a few moments to remind people of the UO:R Account Limitations Policy and highlight two key sections.

    The policy exists to sure the UO:R community of players can have fun in a balanced economy.

    Players hurt that economy by running multiple accounts or sharing accounts by giving them an unfair advantage and will have all their accounts jailed/banned and possessions deleted.

    What Happened:

    Late on 4/30/2022, an investigation led us to discover a now former UO:R player violating the 3 accounts per person rule. The investigation led to the discovery of 14 accounts and 2 additional people violating the rule by having 6 to 7 accounts each.

    After reviewing the in-game evidence, reviewing logs, and using the in-game tools that track this behavior, it was determined that these accounts were all tied to the same individual. When presented with this evidence, the individual confessed to being aware of the 3 account per person rule limit and running multiple accounts despite awareness of the rule.

    This situation was discussed internally among the UO:R staff. We determined that due to the egregious violation of the 3 account limit in this case with the fact that this was the 2nd violation of the rule by this same individual -- we had no choice but ban all the accounts found violating the 3 account limit and preventing this individual from making any new accounts in the future.

    All items of value, including but not exclusive to gold, plat, clothes, regs were destroyed. Any housing owned by this individual will handled by the standard house decay rules of the shard.

    What's Happening Now:

    We're looking into other individual accounts that may be violating the 3 account limit rule and reaching out to them in-game or on Discord. We are also looking into accounts that break the sharing access to your accounts with others is expressly forbidden rule.

    As mentioned above, players hurt that economy by running multiple accounts or sharing accounts to give them an unfair advantage and violators will have all their accounts jailed/banned and possessions deleted.

    We also understand that folks play UO:R with friends and family, often under the same roof. If you are someone who plays on UO:R with other people on the same internet connection, feel free to be proactive and reach out the UO:R Staff with the list accounts used by everyone.

    What's Not Happening:

    If you've ever mistyped your account name and created a 4th, 5th, 6th account -- you're fine. We've all done that. What we all don't do after mistyping the account name is create 5 new characters and make 7x GMs.

    No policy or rules have changed. The policy being cited here is just a reinforcement of existing policy.

    ------

    If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to contact the UO:R Staff.

    How do we go about contacting the staff about this? I'd been having what I thought were wifi issues, but after testing and finding my connection stable, I think maybe I've been caught up in this enforcement.

    To be clear, I use 3 accounts, but log in to them home and, sometimes, from work (don't tell anyone).

    If there is an issue we will contact you, if an account was created in error with no active players that's not a worry....
