[color=white][size=18]In-game Rules[/size][/color]

Welcome to Tanki Online! Here people from all over the world enjoy operating huge battle machines, taking part in fierce battles! Players can fight by themselves or team up to fight for victory side by side. They can also socialize and find new friends. Tanki Online is an easy-to-learn multiplayer action game, a stage for serious battles, and a great social network.

After completing the registration process, each Player receives a virtual tank and 10 crystals (the in-game currency). By winning battles, Players increase their rating and earn new ranks and crystals. Crystals can be used to purchase useful ammunition and buy or upgrade tanks, guns and armor.

Tanki Online isn't merely an exciting online game. It's a community of people who share the same interests. We encourage mutual respect and politeness and strongly discourage offensive behavior and/or violating other users' rights. Tanki Online's Administrators reserve the right to limit users' communication abilities, lower their ratings, and/or block their accounts should they violate the game rules.

For these and other violations, the Administration reserves the right to punish the Player (user) immediately and without prior notification, by denying access, in part or in whole, to the game and any or all of its services.

If you see someone violating the rules, you can inform any of the online Moderators via Private Message (you can see who is online at the bottom of the forum main page, including the moderator list in the present thread). Make sure that your PM includes a clear description of the violation and a screenshot from the chatroom proving the violation.

The Administration operates the game at its own discretion; however, it defers to the community's opinion.

The Player (user) uses the game and its services at their own risk, according to the 'as is' principle. In no event will the Administration be liable for any direct or indirect damage the Player may sustain from receiving or failing to receive game services.

These rules may be modified by the administration without prior notification. The user is obliged to check the rules for modifications no less than once every seven days (that is, on a weekly basis). If the user continues to use any of the game's services without checking with the rules, it will be assumed that he/she has familiarized himself/herself with the revised version of the rules and has agreed to abide by them.]]> http://forum.tankionline.com/posts/preList/2624/45244.page http://forum.tankionline.com/posts/preList/2624/45244.page GMT [url=http://forum.tankionline.com/user/profile/546034.page][b]dingus[/b][/url] [size=9][url=http://forum.tankionline.com/pm/sendTo/546034.page](Send Private Message)[/url][/size]
