1. Who we are, what this is
Aurenfall is a free, non-commercial, fan-operated classic game server run as a passion project. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by TQ Digital Entertainment or NetDragon; Conquer Online and related assets are trademarks of their respective owners. By creating an account, playing on the server or using this website you accept these terms. If you do not accept them, do not use the service.
2. Open beta — your progress
Aurenfall is in open beta. The world, its rules, rates and content are still being tuned, and anything about the game may change at any time. We reserve the right to modify, reset or delete characters, items and other progress — including a full wipe when the beta ends — and we will do everything we reasonably can to avoid one. Progress made during the beta carries no guarantee of permanence.
3. Your account
- One account belongs to one person. You are responsible for keeping your password safe and for everything done on your account.
- Buying, selling, trading, gifting or sharing accounts is forbidden. An account involved in such a deal may be permanently closed without warning, and we take no responsibility for anything lost by either side of the deal.
- Running more than one game client is allowed. Automating play is not (see the server rules below).
- We may suspend or close accounts that break these terms.
4. Virtual items and currency
Characters, items, silver, Conquer Points and everything else inside the game are part of the service, exist only inside it, and have no monetary value. You do not own them; we may change, rebalance or remove them at any time as part of running the game. Selling or buying in-game items, currency or services for real money (RMT) is forbidden and treated the same as account trading.
5. Donations
- Any payment made to Aurenfall is a voluntary donation that supports the server's running costs. It is not a purchase of goods, services, items, advantage or any entitlement, and it does not create any obligation on our part.
- Donations are non-refundable — including if the server changes, if your account is suspended for breaking these terms, or if the server closes. Please never donate money you are not comfortable simply giving.
- Only adults, or minors with a guardian's consent, may donate.
6. Server rules — fair play
- No cheating. No bots, macros or automation, no modified clients beyond our own launcher's patches, no packet editing, no speed/teleport hacks.
- Report exploits, never use them. If you find a bug that gives an advantage, report it (Discord or the staff in game). Knowingly abusing an exploit — including duplicating items — may cost the gains, the items, or the account.
- Be a human being. No harassment, hate speech, threats or spam. In-game PK is part of the game; abuse in chat is not.
- No impersonating staff. Staff will never ask for your password.
- Names (characters, guilds) that are offensive or impersonate others may be changed or removed by staff.
7. Enforcement
Penalties scale with the offence: a warning, in-game jail, temporary suspension, or a permanent ban — at the staff's reasonable discretion. If you believe a penalty was a mistake, appeal calmly through the community channels and the staff will review it.
8. Availability and liability
The service is provided "as is" and free of charge, with no warranty and no guarantee of availability, data retention or continued operation. We may interrupt, change or permanently shut down the server at any time. To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any damages arising from using the service or from its unavailability — including loss of characters, items or progress. Nothing in these terms limits rights that the law of your country grants you and that cannot be waived by agreement.
9. Privacy
What we store about you and why is described on the privacy page.
10. Changes to these terms
We may update these terms as the project evolves; material changes will be announced in the news. Continuing to use the service after a change means you accept the updated terms.
