World rules

Revision of September 21, 2026

Novozarie is an open alpha: the world is still being built, the balance keeps changing, and we hunt for bugs together. Below is what we agree on while we play.

1. Alpha: progress is not guaranteed

The game is in development. Mechanics, balance, items and zones change, and on major updates the database is re-imported — in an extreme case progress can be reset, and we will warn about it on the forum. Progress is not for sale: gold, items, heroes and residents cannot be bought, and paying for them outside the game (to other players or via third-party services) is pointless and unsafe — we do not protect or compensate such deals. The only payment in the game is a voluntary donation for the blessing, and it does not grant progress (section 7).

2. One account per player

One person — one account. Multiple accounts are forbidden: trading with yourself, funnelling resources and bypassing limits through your own heroes count as abuse. An account cannot be sold or handed over: access is restored only with an authenticator code or by an admin.

3. Exploits, cheats and automation

Found a balance hole, item duplication or infinite gold — write to Support (the button in the world) instead of using it: while the hole is open, the forum only spreads it around. Exploiting for profit, patching the client, scripts, autoclickers and bypassing limits with third-party software lead to a ban. We investigate and roll back what an exploit broke, and we thank those who reported it first.

4. Communication: forum and nicknames

The forum is our shared home: no insults, harassment, spam, ads or material forbidden by law. Leave politics and religion outside. Nicknames must not insult or provoke; an admin may require a change. Moderation edits and locks threads, removes messages and issues warnings.

5. Penalties and appeals

The usual order is: a warning, then a temporary restriction, then a ban. For cheats, profitable abuse and open aggression we ban immediately. If you think a penalty is unfair, write to Support (the button in the world): we sort it out in private messages rather than in public, and a polite message gets sorted faster.

6. In-game valuables and rule changes

Gold, items, heroes and residents exist only inside Novozarie: outside the game they have no price, and we do not compensate them in money. The rules may be extended — a new revision is published on the forum, and the version you accepted is visible in your account settings. By continuing to play after a change you accept the new revision.

7. Supporting the project and the blessing

The game is free: every core mechanic is available without payments. Voluntary donations are accepted through the Tribute service — the “Support the goddess” button in the blessing window: in the English version the donation page opens in dollars and euros, in the Russian one — in roubles. A donation grants blessing days: $1 / €1 = 10 days, $3 / €3 = 30 days (100 ₽ = 10 days, 300 ₽ = 30 days). We cover the service commission: days are counted from the amount the player set. The payment provider may add its own service fee (card or crypto) on top of the amount — we cannot compensate that fee. The blessing gives no power over other players and does not override the rules of the world: the status may be revoked for breaking them. A donation is voluntary and non-refundable; if the days failed to arrive because of our mistake, contact support and we will grant them manually. Cancelling a recurring payment does not remove the days already granted.
