The Rules of Harmonious Gaming: A Guide to Compliance and Control
1. Mandatory Real-Name Verification
Players must register using their government-issued ID. Anonymous accounts are banned, and all activity is tied to your real identity.

2. Daily Playtime Limits
Adults are limited to 2 hours of gameplay per day. Exceeding this limit results in automatic logout and a temporary ban.

3. Age Restrictions
Players under the age of 18 are subject to playtime limits (e.g., 1.5 hours on weekdays, 3 hours on weekends and holidays) as per Chinese law.

4. No Nighttime Gaming
The game is completely inaccessible between 10:00 PM and 8:00 AM to "promote healthy sleep habits.“

5. Compliance with Playtime Limits
Players must adhere to the playtime restrictions set by the company and Chinese regulations. Excessive playtime will trigger warnings and temporary bans.

6. No Impersonation
Players must not impersonate developers, moderators, or other players. Misrepresentation undermines trust and fairness.

7. No Real-World Trading
Selling or buying in-game items, currency, or accounts for real-world money is prohibited. This disrupts the game’s economy and fairness.

8. No Political References
Any mention of politics, historical events, or government policies is strictly prohibited. Violators face permanent bans and potential legal consequences.

9. No In-Game Romance
Romantic interactions between characters are banned to "protect moral values." This includes flirting, marriage systems, or even suggestive dialogue.

10. No Blood or Violence
All depictions of blood, gore, or realistic violence must be removed. Enemies must disappear in a puff of smoke when defeated.

11. No Voice Chat
Voice chat is disabled to prevent "inappropriate conversations." Text chat is heavily monitored and filtered.

12. No Competitive Rankings
Leaderboards and competitive rankings are banned to avoid "unhealthy competition" and discourage players from obsessing over wins.

13. No Microtransactions for Minors
Players under 18 cannot make in-game purchases, even with parental permission. All premium content is locked for minors.

14. No Cross-Region Play
Players can only interact with others in their own country or region. International servers are blocked to "prevent cultural conflicts.“

15. No Female Characters in Revealing Outfits
Female characters must be fully covered, with no revealing clothing or exaggerated features. This rule is strictly enforced to "maintain decency.“

16. No Negative Emotions
Characters cannot express sadness, anger, or despair. All dialogue and storylines must be upbeat and "inspire positivity.“

17. No Private Servers or Mods
Running private servers or modifying the game in any way is illegal and punishable by fines or legal action.

Players must comply with all instructions and updates from the game developers. This includes participating in surveys, beta tests, and community events as requested.
