If you have an old version of Athelias on your computer, you can update it in running the different patches below. You must download and install all the patches published since the last version of the world you have, and in this order. For example, if the version you have is 1.21, then download the patch 1.22 and the patch 1.23 to update the world to version 1,23. You can play with an old version, but the interaction with other players in multiplayer mode will be limited. You can get the version of the world installed on your computer if you type "/version" in-game.

     Athelias is a free plug-in for Well of Souls game engine. You will never be asked for money to play this world, neither by synthetic-reality.com nor by athelias.biz team. However, athelias.biz reserves the right to cut off the access to the multiplayer mode of operation of this world of the players who do not respect the terms of service as described below.

     Any player using trainers or memory editors to modify their chars will lose the privilege of playing this world. If you cannot spend a couple of hours to train a char, then do not play this world. Using memory editors would ruin your fun - this is your business - but will also ruin the fun of the other players. If you really cannot resist, hack your browser, but NOT this program. If this game is too hard for you, I am sure you could find something easier on the net.

     Any form of racism, or negationism or any other kind of negative energy is prohibited. It includes any public data you introduce on a public channel (conversations, guild pages or tags, character names, links from your soul diary, etc.). Note : a reference can be tolerated by synthetic-reality.com but NOT by athelias.biz. The fact that a guild with a tendentious uniform was not deleted from synthetic-reality Guild Hall for example doesn't mean it wouldn't be banned from Athelias. If you have a doubt, ask yourself : may this hurt people? If the answer is yes, refrain. This is not a witch hunt, you can talk politics or religion or any topic you like. But extremists points of view will not be tolerated.

     Any material coming with this installer created or developed by athelias.biz remains its property and couldn't be used without the consent of the members of athelias.biz team. It includes scripts, art, storylines, etc. If you want to use some of those materials, send an email to mad@athelias.biz with a short description of the use intended. athelias.biz team will try to give you an answer as soon as possible. athelias.biz has no right over the materials used borrowed from other games. They remain the property of their respective publishers. athelias.biz has no commercial strategies and all its resources are free. Those materials will never be used for any kind of commercial activity.

     Finally, try to be as smart as possible and make the multiplayer mode of this world enjoyable. Well of Souls online is not just a game, it's also a community . Any world, as good as it may be, needs players to make it live. So if you enjoy this world, don't hassle the other players so they will want to stay and play it. If you do not like it, then don't play, but don't ruin the fun of those who do with a negative attitude online.

     Thanks, and have fun.
