TERMS OF SERVICE
Character portraits must comply with Simutronics
Terms and Conditions and Rules of
Conduct.
CHARACTER DESCRIPTION POLICIES
Please keep the following policies in mind while you are filling out your character
description form:
- The use of one player's name or likeness in another
player's portrait will not be permitted.
- The use of blood or any other body fluids will not be
permitted.
- Materials or items that are out of genre and/or do not exist in the game
will not be permitted in character portraits. Real world symbols will not
be permitted unless commonly used in the game's genre (i.e. a peace symbol
would not be permissible for a DragonRealms portrait but
would be fine in Hercules and Xena: Alliance of Heroes.)
- Creatures which do not exist in the game but are referenced
in the game may only appear as illustrations on items. (For example, you may choose to
have a dragon illustrated on your shield, but may not have a pet dragon, or a dragon-bone
weapon.)
- Magical properties not associated with spells in the game
will not be included in character portraits.
- Real life slogans, advertisements, slang or cultural sayings
will not be included in character portraits.
- The use of materials used in items must make sense or they will not be
included in the character portrait (i.e. a dagger made out of cheese would
melt and grow moldy, and thus would not be usable in a character portrait.)
- Any races that are not in the game or mutations of the
current races will not be permitted in character portraits.
- The focus of the image should not be sexual in nature. (I.E.
no nudity, implied nudity, or lingerie.)
- Phone numbers, e-mail addresses, US mail addresses, or web
site addresses will not be included in character portraits.
- Only one character will be drawn in each picture. Pictures of couples are
not possible.
- All portraits must match the buyer's character's
image.
- The landscape, if any, should not be in a specific definable
location of the game. It should only be symbolic in nature.
PORTRAIT AND BILLING POLICIES
- Portraits must be created by artists Simutronics provides. (No player
submissions will be accepted.)
- There will be no refunds.
- Artists will interpret a player's request to the best of their ability.
- Artists will attempt to draw all the inventory that has been requested,
however, due to space issues they may not be able to include all items.
- Changes will be made to the portraits only in the case
of artist error as determined by the artists and Simutronics Corporation.
No changes will be made based on a player's failure to accurately communicate
what they want. Players should make sure to detail carefully anything
that is important for interpretation of their character.
- Portraits will take at least 4 weeks for delivery. Check the "event
date" on the ticket that you purchase to see the approximate delivery
date.
- At this time players will only be able to purchase portraits for
their own characters. (The Gift of Adventure
is available for anyone who wishes to fund the purchase of a portrait
for a friend.)
- Character portraits are representations of a character by the artists.
Items, abilities, or features drawn or implied in the portraits do not
grant or constitute approval for said items, abilities, or features
within the game.
- Simutronics Corporation reserves the right to refuse the creation
or display of any portrait or portion thereof based on policies not
specifically included in the above restrictions. Please be aware that
Simutronics will enforce the spirit of, rather than the letter of, the
above policies.
