Announcements

Basilisk is now close to its end of life. One of the steps toward that end, is archiving the Basilisk forum. We do this to stop needless necro posting in the Basilisk forum and to forus our forum toward the servers we actually have activity on.

I have made a new archive forum where you can still see and read our Basilisk forum and sub forums. I've also moved our Liberator forums in to this archive + our first Basilisk "The Pit" forum.

Some might appreciate reading through what we all where thinking and doing in the Liberator era and read all the nonsense going on in the first "The Pit", where we ended up removing the forum and not have a pit forum for a little time, this forum is the reason our current "The Pit 2.5" is called 2.5

After we have asked for some ideas for QOL (Quality Of Life) changes, we have been given several. One of the additions we have made after such an request, is an easier way to track staff on our forum. As of today we have made a new feature available. We have called it Staff Tracker. You can find it on top of our forum, next to "Home" and "Forum"
Hope this will make it easier to track staff and what we post on the forums.

We have updated our TOS. The updates concern how we treat and talk to each other. Please read the TOS carefully and take it into consideration when you interact with others on our servers.

Pay especial attention to paragraph 3 and 4

Real Life Monetary trades - September 2020

Staff would just like to give a friendly reminder to our community that following ALL our TOS is a requirement to be able to use our service. Aside from the act of donating to the project (thank you!), spending real money on third party websites for in-game benefit is strictly forbidden. Today we have banned 65 accounts for breaking this section of our TOS. We do not enjoy removing people from our project, but violations like this endanger the project and force us to act.

Our TOS say:

1.9. On SWGEmu Servers, all accounts and characters used for financial gain will be deleted/banned. It is forbidden to use your account for:

• 1.9.1. Soliciting real life monetary trades.
• 1.9.2. Purchasing of in-game credits or items for real life currency.
• 1.9.3. Exchange of in-game items/credits for real life items.
• 1.9.4. Exchange of in-game items/credits for items/currency from other games.

Selling your account/sharing account

Selling your account will fall under the same rules. If we find that an account has changed owner, it will be banned.
Letting others borrow your account also falls under the rule below:

1.5. Do not share accounts. The rule includes children as well, if you have a child in your home they are not allowed to share accounts as they must each have their own regardless of age. Any account banned for another user's actions will not be unbanned at the request of the owner.

1.6. Any and all stolen and/or compromised accounts that are reported to SWGEmu Staff may be *suspended* in order to conduct an investigation. On the SWGEmu Servers, characters, credits, buildings, structures, or items will not restored or replaced under any circumstances.

Our support team needs to be strengthened and we are searching for one or more interns that we can train to become CSRs to help our community in support about account and in-game issues.
Some of the tasks that our CSRs handle are:

• Approving multiple account applications
• In-game issues like getting people unstuck or help them been able to log in a character
• investigate reports about rule breaking on our servers
• Help with Events and setting them up and/or execute them

The work is done in two systems. We have a live support, where you can talk directly to players with issues, or we have a ticket system where you will answer the ticket, trying to solve the issue or answering questions about policies.

Please follow this link if you are interested in contributing some of your time to the project and the community.
