These terms explain the rules for using The MMO Hammer (eqhammer.com), an independent website covering MMORPGs. By reading or using this site, you agree to them. If you don’t agree, please don’t use the site.
Who We Are
The MMO Hammer is an independent content website about massively multiplayer online games. In these terms, “we,” “us” and “our” mean the people who run this site. “You” means anyone who visits or uses it.
We are not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by any game developer or publisher unless we clearly say so on a specific page.
Using Our Content
Everything we publish is for personal, informational and entertainment use. This includes guides, news, class breakdowns, patch coverage, opinion pieces and reviews.
You may:
- Read, bookmark and share links to our pages.
- Quote short excerpts with clear credit to The MMO Hammer.
- Print or save a page for your own personal reference.
You may not:
- Copy, republish or sell our articles, in full or in large part, without our written permission.
- Scrape the site in bulk or feed our content into another website, app or dataset.
- Remove or change any credit, copyright or trademark notice.
Unless stated otherwise, the original text, layout and graphics on this site belong to us.
No Professional Advice
Our content is general information written by and for MMO players. It is not financial, legal, technical or any other kind of professional advice. This also covers topics such as in-game purchases, subscriptions, real-money trading, account security and hardware.
Before making decisions that involve money, your personal data or your accounts, check the official sources and use your own judgment.
Accuracy and Changes
MMOs change constantly. A single patch can rework a class, move a drop or remove a mechanic overnight. We work to keep our content accurate and up to date. Even so, some information will go out of date between when we write it and when you read it.
That means:
- We don’t guarantee that any guide, build, price, date or statistic is complete, correct or current.
- We may update, correct or remove content at any time without notice.
- Release dates, roadmaps and features described by developers can change, and we can’t control that.
- When we report on rumors or leaks, we say so and describe how reliable the source is. Treat that kind of information as unconfirmed until a developer or publisher announces it officially.
If you spot an error, we’d like to hear about it so we can fix it.
Game Rules Still Apply
Some of our content covers glitches, exploits, secrets and unlock tricks found inside games. We write about these for information and interest. We do not encourage anyone to break a game’s rules.
Every game has its own terms of service and code of conduct. Some publishers treat certain exploits as bannable offenses. You are responsible for knowing and following the rules of the games you play. We are not responsible for any warning, suspension, ban or loss of items or progress on your game accounts.
We never link to or recommend cheat tools, trainers, bots, mod menus or other third-party programs that break game rules or put your computer at risk.
Trademarks and Third-Party Content
Game titles, logos, character names, artwork and screenshots belong to their respective owners. We use them only to identify and discuss the games we cover. Using them here doesn’t mean we own them or that their owners endorse us.
If you own rights to material on this site and believe we’ve used it improperly, contact us and we will review the issue promptly.
External Websites
We sometimes mention or link to other websites, such as official game sites, patch notes, storefronts or community resources. We don’t control those sites and aren’t responsible for their content, accuracy, availability or privacy practices. Visiting them is at your own risk, and their own terms apply.
Advertising and Affiliate Links
This site may display ads or include affiliate links. If you buy something through an affiliate link, we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. This doesn’t change what we write. Advertisers and affiliate partners don’t control our coverage.
Acceptable Use
We want this site to stay useful and safe for everyone. When using it, you agree not to:
- Break any law or regulation.
- Try to hack, overload, disrupt or gain unauthorized access to the site or its systems.
- Upload or spread malware, spam or harmful code.
- Use automated tools to scrape, copy or mass-download content.
- Pretend to be us or anyone else.
- Post or send content that is abusive, hateful, harassing, sexually explicit, defamatory or infringes someone else’s rights.
- Share stolen material, such as leaked game files, builds or source code.
If we add comments, forums or other ways to post, you remain responsible for what you submit. We may edit, hide or remove any submission, and block access, at our discretion.
Limitation of Liability
In plain words: you use this site at your own risk. The site and everything on it are provided “as is,” without promises or warranties of any kind.
To the fullest extent the law allows, we aren’t liable for any loss or damage that comes from using this site or relying on its content. This includes:
- Lost game progress, items, currency or accounts.
- Account penalties from game publishers.
- Money spent based on our guides or reviews.
- Problems caused by external websites we mention.
- Downtime, errors, or viruses that reach your device despite our efforts to prevent them.
Some places don’t allow certain limits on liability. If that applies to you, these limits apply only as far as your local law permits.
Privacy
Our Privacy Policy explains how we handle information collected when you use this site, including cookies. You can find it on this site.
Changes to These Terms
We may update these terms from time to time, for example when we add new features or the law changes. When we do, we’ll change the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. If you keep using the site after an update, you accept the revised terms. We suggest checking this page now and then.
If Part of These Terms Doesn’t Apply
If any part of these terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the rest still applies.
