Terms of Service and Privacy Policy

This website is not a game server

A Realm on this site is a page about a server someone else runs. Midgard Realms does not own, operate, host, or control that server, or anything that belongs to it.

We do not own a server’s world, software, client, patches, website, Discord, player accounts, characters, items, donations, cash shop, or staff. We do not receive your game password, your inventory, or any money you send to a server. If you type a character name on your profile, that is only a name. It is not a login, and it is not a copy of the character.

Ragnarok Online and related names and marks belong to their owners, including Gravity Co., Ltd. and its affiliates. Midgard Realms is an independent community site. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by them. We do not provide the official game, an official client, or official servers.

Looking around

You can read listings, news, and public profiles without an account. You do not have to give us information to browse.

If you make an account

You can sign in with Discord, or with an email address and a password. A password is stored only in a form we cannot read back. If Discord shares an email, we keep it for the account. Your email is not shown on your public profile. Only the site operator can see account emails. Other staff cannot.

We use the email to run the account. We do not sell the list.

What you may choose to add

You decide whether to add any of the following. We keep it so the page you asked for can exist.

• Profile: display name, handle, bio, region, and a Discord name if you type one.
• A listing: server name, rates, features, description, links, images, contacts, and an optional status address. Sending a listing does not give us the server.
• Reviews, Scrolls, saved Realms, follows, and a character name you attach to a Realm.
• Messages to Midgard staff, and reports.

What the site records on its own

A session cookie keeps you signed in. Your language choice is stored in the browser. We do not use third-party advertising cookies.

If you are signed in, the site operator can see when the account was created, when you were last here, and how long each visit lasted. A visit is the time the tab stays open. Other staff cannot see this.

If you open someone’s invite link, we remember their handle until you sign in, and we count one join. A click by itself is not a join.

Opening a Realm page adds to that page’s view count. Regional interest counts a person once for a page, not on every refresh.

Status addresses

If a listing includes a status address, we request only that address, on a short interval, and use the answer to show online or offline. We do not log into the server and we do not scrape a site.

Who can see it

Approved listings, public profiles, public Scrolls, news, and reviews are public. A review shows the name it was posted under. If they change their display name later, the review also shows the name they use now, and it links to their profile.

If a Valkyrie takes a review down, the words and the rating come off the page. The reason is kept for Valkyries and the Allfather only. It is not shown to the public.

The companies that host the website and its database store this information so the site can stay online. They do not get to use it for their own purposes.

An announcement we choose to publish may also be posted in the Midgard Realms’ Discord server. Or vice versa.

We do not sell or share personal information.

How long we keep it

We keep account and page information while the site is operating, unless we remove it under our rules or you ask us to delete what we reasonably can.

Closing an account does not by itself remove a public listing. The listing is a page on this website about a server we do not own. If an account is erased, the operator may keep a private archive so the account can be restored.

Changes and contact

The site is in beta, and this policy can change. The date on this page is the current version.

Questions go to Midgard staff through the site or Discord.
