You are not allowed to:
• Restrict access to gameplay features
• Sell any form of in-game content, cosmetic or otherwise (items, perks, skins etc.) via payment or donation rewards
donations can only be done in pounds dummy!Karling said:OWO whats this!?!?!
five euro for a boarlet what a ripoff when you can get the full boar at the same price
Good to hear you guys already removed the "Tomato soup" item you'd reward donators with.Alloo said:A good step in the right direction, thank you.
EDIT: I am happy as the partial owner of "Mount and Blade: Roleplay" to adhere to these new regulations.

For rough reference you can have a look at this guide over here: https://forums.taleworlds.com/index.php/topic,374313.0.htmlGolden Kingdom said:Your policy is pretty fair, however I think you will run into some issues verifying creator IDs. You probably should give a two week to one month grace period to new servers who claim to have gained permission to use assets on a third party forum, to demonstrate that in an approved way.
You really need to explain the process by which permissions to use something on a server can be removed. Particularly to protect against revenge revocation.
This only becomes a problem if the law was to also grant them a right to be listed on the game's master server. TW isn't taking down their servers. They are simply not listing them in their own services.Golden Kingdom said:US law, allows third parties to charge for in game modifications and has done so for a long time. I don't personally believe that its right to charge for most things, but people may make a mod and charge to play it multiplayer or some variation thereof. This seems to violate your terms. I don't know if the courts would allow your terms to supersede the law. Also, these cases have made it to the US appeals courts with the copywrite holders of both the original and derivative works winning; which is likely to push any attempt to enforce it to the US Supreme Court.

This too would have to be specified as a "right" by law before it is relevant - I would think. But given the lack of ToS (and lack of [my] legal knowledge) I have no idea where a court case would go.Captain Conner said:Duh said:This only becomes a problem if the law was to also grant them a right to be listed on the game's master server.

In that case I think it should be possible for players to join directly by IP address like with many other games such as Minecraft. By unlisting them from the master list, you are denying them complete access.
Kingsman said:Personally I don't see why this happened it worked just fine before but if it needs to be done i'd suggest easing up a bit, perhaps allowing cosmetic items or some minor incentives that don't give players advantages as all this can do is help improve a server which brings more people and hence more sales for TW and explaining this policy in a bit more detail.
Also my entire server depends on me hiring coders to make me new code and sort bugs and technical issues am I still allowed to do this if people aren't allowed to "Sell Code"
