Group Rules and Terms of Service
ARPG RULES ⬦ ADOPTABLE TERMS OF SERVICE
Upon joining Lunar Hollow or adopting one of our creatures, you agree that you have read and accept our rules that have been outlined below.
Joining is open and automatically approved - you do not need ask to join nor do you need to have a monster already to join.
Participation in all activities and events is optional - don't force yourself if you don't have time! We plan on having lots of events!
If you are not enjoying your time in this group, we suggest finding an arpg that better fits your needs!
ARPG RULES - GENERAL -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
⬦ Treat others with kindness and respect. No bullying or harassment please. If you are having issues with another member of the group, please note the group and let the admins deal with any problems that have arisen. If you are caught bullying or harassing others you will be banned from the group and any/all characters under your ownership will be marked as deceased.
⬦ Please send any questions or concerns to our Questions / FAQ page, or send a note to the group.
Please do not contact an admin privately about group related concerns unless you cannot message the group itself.
If deviantART is down, and you have a time sensitive message, please contact us on discord!
⬦ When trading and selling any lunar hollow creatures we advise taking screenshots of your trade/sale agreement, to ensure that the other party follows through with their end of the deal.
⬦ Loot Rolls for Activities and Events, as well as submissions to the Design Approval area, may take up to two weeks to be processed. If it has been longer than that, feel free to ask an admin if your submission has been missed!
⬦ Spamming will not be tolerated- this includes notification spamming, such as constantly joining / leaving the ARPG group home and Discord group. While you're free to come and go please do so sparingly- if our notification log is just you coming and going you may be blocked from the discord / group!
⬦ All in game decisions made by Admins are final.
ARPG RULES - ART SUBMISSIONS --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“Artwork” refers to illustrations, literature and crafts
⬦ Please submit to the correct folders.
⬦ Only artwork of official Lunar-Hollow creatures may be used in this group.
Submissions (artwork + journals) that are not related to this group will not be accepted.
--- Members may use their own OCs as handlers
--- Other ARPG creatures may be included in submissions (if the activity allows it)
--- All monsters that appear in artwork should link back to their import
⬦ No tracing or plagiarizing- Any and all artwork must be your own. Bases by other members may be used and Stock images / textures may be used if credited appropriately.
--- No AI generated works are allowed in this group - if you are caught using AI works to cheat, you will be banned.
⬦ Point farming is not allowed- we encourage all artists to learn and grow, therefore any art submissions that appear to be very similar (examples on the XP system journal), will receive no points.
⬦All artwork should be submitted to your gallery or scraps, not stash.
(Stash may be used to store commissions/art from others, if they removed the image from their own gallery)
⬦All artwork must follow deviantART submission rules- please make sure to mark mature art with a mature filter.
ARPG RULES - ADVERTISEMENTS AND JOURNAL SUBMISSIONS ------------------------------------------------------------------
⬦ Only one journal/advertisement submission per 24 hours please, to avoid spamming.
⬦ Advertisements that are not related to this group will not be accepted.
SALES RULES -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In order to ensure that the groups economy, and the art community, don't get too badly devalued, we have rules for the minimum amount that Group Currency, Artwork, Monsters, and Slots may be sold for. Please be respectful of artists time and effort.
Ads that advertise prices that are too low will not be accepted / will be removed. If you wish to sell anything for lower than what we accept, please do so privately or make ads that ask interested parties to message you for prices.
In group currency is Moonies and Lunar Coins
$1 = 1,000 Moonies
$10 = 1 Lunar Coin
Group currency cannot be purchased, but can be earned by participating in group events. Group currency is used to buy items and such from the group shop. For a few months a year we will have a shop + semi customs open for $paypal purchases, otherwise shops use group currency only.
Artwork refers to both commissions and 'your character here' style artwork.
⬦ Half body artwork and Literature that is 800 words or less = $5 / 5,000 Moonies minimum sales price
⬦ Full boy artwork and literature that is over 800 words = $10 / 10,000 Moonies minimum sales price
--- there is no pricing for the amount of characters that may appear in a piece of artwork at this time
⬦ Breeding Slots and Monsters (undesigned IDs or Imports) -- $5 Minimal Sales Price
⬦ Group items, familiars and things of the like have no set sales price, so please price them at what you think is fair!
BREEDING RESTRICTIONS -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In order to keep the game as fair and balanced as possible, some creatures may have breeding restrictions.
Any restrictions will be noted on the Monsters deviation page.
Restrictions will be applied to pets that:
- have 8+ markings
- 4+ rare markings
- 4+ mutations
Some restrictions are:
⬦ Limited breeding slots
Limited slots, either in the total amount a monster may have, or the amount gained per leveling up
⬦ Non-inheritable markings / mutations
Some markings and/or mutations may not transfer to offspring. Unpassable markings/mutations will have the marking/mutation listed in (brackets)
EX: Lemon with hood, train and (dawn) <--- Dawn would not pass to offspring in this case
MASTERLIST IMAGE AND IMPORT RULES - DESIGN, OWNERSHIP AND TRANSFER ------------------------------------------------
⬦ Masterlist / Import artwork (Registration IDs) and group resources may NOT be re-uploaded to your account or offsite. (Imports may be uploaded to your stash, but not your main gallery/scraps)
⬦ The master list / import description will state if the character can be gifted / traded / sold.
If trading/selling is allowed, you may trade/sell for whatever you desire ($5 Minimal Sales Price, if selling for currency)
If a creature is account bound, it may not be traded, gifted, or sold, but may be sent to the adoption center -or- be exchanged through certain gift giving events!
⬦ Co-ownership is not allowed- this is to avoid any complications that may arise when trading.
⬦ When trading, there is a 2 week cool down period- once you obtain a monster, you must wait 2 weeks to be able to trade, sell, or gift the same monster to others.
If desired, a monster may be marked as deceased- the monster becomes no longer usable in the group, however you may use and change its design (colours and patterns, not species) to whatever you desire. This action is permanent.
--- To mark your monster as deceased, please go to the Import Updates - Text Updates area.
If you are banned from the group, you have 2 weeks to trade off any unwanted monsters - after this time, they will be marked as deceased and will become untradeable.
⬦ If a member is not listed as the owner on the official import deviation, then they do not own it- to avoid scammers, do not make trades with anyone who doesn’t own the creature.
IMPORT RULES - COPYRIGHT AND INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY -----------------------------------------------------------------------
Once a creature is under your ownership (listed on the masterlist deviation), the characters design (colours and patterns) belongs to you.
The import artwork, species design, and species lore belong to this ARPG, Lunar-Hollow , and their species creators: (vampyrowo).
