All players have to accept the following, so called "Realera Rules", in order to play the game.

Bans are applied to the entire account, not to individual characters. This means that the penalty affects the entire account, regardless of the number of characters owned.

First Ban: Upon the first ban, the account is blocked for 7 days.
Second Ban: For the second ban, the account is blocked for 14 days.
Third Ban and Each Subsequent Ban: After the third ban, the account is blocked for 30 days.

Summary: Bans are applied to the entire account. Each subsequent violation results in a longer block: the first ban lasts 7 days, the second 14 days, and the third and each following ban lasts 30 days.
