WolfQuest is meant to be a safe place for players of all ages. All players should be able to play without being subjected to sexually suggestive behavior or language,
physical or verbal bullying, and other words or actions that create an unfriendly atmosphere. There are two kinds of multiplayer games, open and private. We have created
them as a way to balance easy access with holding players accountable for their behavior.
Topics:
Private Games
Private games require a password to enter. The game host makes up the password and distributes the password to people they trust and want to be able to join the game. Do not
share your game password on an open community thread or in an existing open game unless you want anyone to join your private game. Since game hosts can control who enters
private games, a community account is not required to join them. If players behave inappropriately based on the standards the pack agrees on, the game host can stop the game,
change the password, and not share it with the offending players.
Open Games
As of WolfQuest: Amethyst Mountain Deluxe version 1.6, players must enter a valid WolfQuest Community username and password to start or join an open game. This version of
Amethyst Mountain Deluxe cannot connect to previous versions (and vice versa). If you do not have a WolfQuest Community account, you may
get one free.
It may take up to 2 days for your account to be activated. You do
not need to post to the community forums to play in an open multiplayer game. When you
join an open game, your community user name will be shown in the chat window along with your wolf's name. The game host's community name appears at the top of the chat
transcript.
Reporting Abuse
If you feel you have been a victim of abuse in an open game, use the form below to send us a report of the incident. Before you quit the game, review the chat transcript
and note the community names of the players whose behavior you are reporting. If you forget, or you are disconnected from the game before you can check, you can also find
chat messages in the main game log (you must do this before restarting the game). On Windows, the log file is in the following location:
C:\\Program Files\WolfQuest\Data\output_log.txt. On Mac OSX, launch Applications/Utilities/Console.app and select LOG FILES->system.log. All abuse reports are confidential
and will be addressed within 5 business days. You will only hear from us if we need more information about what happened.
Sanctions for Abuse
Abuse reports will be reviewed by the WolfQuest Team. Based on the nature of the incident, players reported for abuse may receive up to two warnings before their community
account is banned from starting and joining open games, or posting to the community forums. Accounts may be banned immediately at the discretion of the WolfQuest Team. IP
addresses and email addresses associated with banned accounts will also be banned from registering a new community account.
