Regarding VoiceChat and Third Party Messaging Software

Post by Valhalla Staff » Tue Dec 12, 2017 8:07 pm

Hello Players,

Valhalla Lost does not provide an external communication service. This shard is free to play and run by volunteers at the financial expense of the administrator. Currently, there are no plans to create any official Valhalla Lost chatrooms or voice chat, for that would include moderation of the service which we are not willing to allocate the resources for at this time.

Communicating outside of the game offers a number of benefits: Your hands are not occupied for conversation in a voice chat, allowing you to play the game more efficiently; You can organize group events easier with record of what was said, and you can get to know your fellow players on a more personal level (or laugh about the way they pronounce certain things, like Einherjar)

However, in the event that something negative happens with player discussions outside of the game, the Valhalla Lost staff aren't able to intervene as much: It's not our business what peoples' opinions are in these other messaging programs. If there are people contacting you out-of-game that you have a problem with, we would advise you to block communication with them, and for anything more serious than that we urge you to contact the administrative staff of that medium to handle the problem if your own efforts have not sufficed. We can only offer moderation for events that happen in-game.

The only exceptions to this which we will get involved in are the following:
  • Players impersonating Valhalla Lost staff
  • Admission to exploiting glitches or bugs in the game for unintended or increased benefits
The list of exceptions may be updated or modified at any time, including retroactively, but we do not intend it to grow very much in size.

Thank you for playing,
-Valhalla Staff
The above statements, whether good or bad, come from multiple members of the staff, and are not just one person's opinion or mandate.

Please do NOT use the Valhalla Lost name for Discord or other programs.

If you have an issue with a player that is using a third party messaging app or voice chat, you will need to discuss it with them. We have no control over issues that are not occurring in game or on the forums.

If you have an issue in GAME resulting from voice chat or a messaging program, then take a screen shot of your journal and page for assistance.
