What’s a Realm Listing

A Realm listing is a public page about a Realm (Server). Owners are authorized to operate and represent the Realm that they listed and were approved. Valkyries review new listings and every future edit before they go live. Until a Valkyrie approves any new listings or changes, the page is either not public or remains as it was on previous approval.

Who May List a Realm

To Create a Realm: Only an owner or admin with written permission to represent the realm may submit this request. Impersonating another realm, cloning a listing, or parking a name you do not run is grounds for rejection and a ban.

To Suggest a Realm: Anyone can suggest their favorite realms to be added. Valkyries will review the request and may follow up for more information.

Ownership of Listings and Realms

Once a listing is submitted, it belongs to the hall (Midgard Realms).

When an owner or admin submits their Realm, they are asking Midgard Realms to keep a public record of the Realm. You own your Realm (Server), logos and copy — Midgard Realms own the listing on midgardrealms.gg. Only Rune Midgard can take the Realm down. The listing stays in the hall even if you close the Realm, lose the host, leave the team, or delete your account.

You cannot erase a listing. You cannot hide it. You cannot send it to Valhalla. Only Midgard Realms can archive it, suspend it, or restore it. You may send requests for such things for review.

If something on your listing is wrong, you may request a change via The Forge. Nothing goes live until a Valkyrie approves it — name, rates, era, emulator, release type, images, Discord, website, description, and status endpoint included.

By submitting, you grant Midgard Realms a licence to host, display, and keep that record for as long as the hall stands.

Honesty

Realm identity, rates, features, details, and description must be true at the time you send them. If they change, send an update through The Forge. Quietly turning a 1x listing into a cash-shop furnace is a policy violation.

Discord invites and websites must work. Dead invites may get the listing pulled until you fix them.

Images and Names

Logos, banners, and copy you upload must be yours to use. All images and content on midgardrealms.gg belong to their respective creators. Midgard Realms owns the listings.

Do not upload Gravity / official RO art as if it were yours. Do not use another Realm's mark.

Status Endpoint

If you paste a status URL, you are asking us to ping that URL on a short interval and flip the online badge from the response. We do not scrape your site, log in, or read a player list beyond what that endpoint returns.

Give us an endpoint you control. Do not point it at a third party that did not agree to be pinged. We may stop pinging an address that is unsafe, private, or abusive.

Realm Contacts

Admins and developers you list can be viewed by any user. They cannot edit the listing. Only the owner account can propose updates.

Discord Information & Expectations

Listing a Realm is not only a page on midgardrealms.gg. It is a seat in the Midgard Realms Discord. Owners/Admins must join the Midgard Realms Discord server before listing their realms. A listing without owner representation in Discord may result in rejection, suspension, or being archived in Valhalla. It is imperative that owners/admins communicate on Midgard Realms’ Discord server to answer questions for the community and promote their listings.

What is Valhalla: Realms that have gone dark. The host is gone. Listings, people, and memories stay so the hall still remembers.

Upon approval of your listing, a Valkyrie will check your nickname on Midgard Realms’ Discord server to reflect your realm ownership. For example, YourName - Owner/Admin: Realm Name. Example: Kliipsch0 - Owner: Midgard Realms.

If you run more than one listed Realm, name the primary one and tell a Valkyrie about the others. If you find someone impersonating ownership of your realm, report to a Valkyrie immediately.

Owners/Admins may speak about and promote their listed Realm in the Midgard Realms’ Discord within reasonable bounds: updates, openings, events. You may not raid, mass-ping, or treat the hall as a billboard for a Realm that is not listed.

You will also be given the Creators of Realms role. That seat opens a private channel with other Creators, Valkyries, and the Allfather. It is for running halls, not for drama. Abuse of that room can cost the role and the listing.

Owners/Admins agree to allow Midgard Realms’ Valkyries and the Allfather to share and promote Midgard Realms on their Realm’s Discord server within reasonable bounds: platform updates, links to midgardrealms.gg, and invites to the Midgard Realms Discord server. Valkyries and the Allfather may not raid, mass-ping, or treat the server as a billboard for other Realms (servers) that do not belong to this Realm’s owner.

Extra note: Make sure your announcement channel on Discord is set as a proper announcement channel. This will allow Midgard Realms to automatically push all of your announcements into our Discord server. See midgardrealms.gg/creators.

No Paid Placements or Promotions

There are no paid featured slots, boosted ranks, or any sort of paywall that would give them an advantage for Creators of Realms and for users. Every approved Realm stands on the same platform. Offering a Valkyrie money for placement is a ban. Midgard Realms is entirely community powered and supports the process of natural selection. Simply put, good realms will gain momentum, bad realms will wither away.

No Pay to Win, No Real Money Trading, No Crypto

There is no pay to win, no real money trading, and no crypto based market trading on Midgard Realms.

You do not buy power here. You do not buy a listing, a rank, a review, or a louder seat. Nobody sells zeny, items, accounts, or gear for real money through this hall. Nobody runs a crypto market here.

Do not use a listing, a review, a Scroll, a message, or the Midgard Realms Discord to sell those things, or to run a pay to win shop or a crypto market. A listing that is really that shop can be rejected or taken down.

This rule is about the hall. Your own server is still yours. Do not move that shop onto Midgard Realms.

Valkyrie Review

Valkyries may approve, reject, or suspend a listing. Typical rejections include: dead invite, dishonest rates, stolen IP, empty or generic description, a Realm that does not exist yet with no opening date, or a listing that is really an ad for something else. Valkyries and the Allfather reserve the right to reject, remove, suspend, or archive your realm at their discretion without notice.

Suspension hides the public page. The Owner/Admin can still see it from The Forge. Repeated violations can cost the removal of the Creator of Realms role.

Your Realm, Your Responsibility

Midgard Realms does not host your game, take or facilitate donations for you, nor moderate your Discord and website. Players who find you on Midgard Realms are free individuals and not the responsibility of Midgard Realms. Chargebacks, bans, and drama with relation to your Realm are the responsibility of the Realm’s owner/admin. Midgard Realms only moderates our platforms.

Reviews of your Realm

You do not review your own Realm. An admin or developer listed on it does not either.

You may leave one reply, under your name, on each review. You can edit that reply. A reply does not change the score or the rating. You do not get to take a review down because you disliked an honest one.

When a Realm Goes Dark

If the Realm goes dark, meaning an owner/admin abandons the Realm entirely without a named successor, the Realm will be moved to Valhalla. That is an archive, not a deletion.

If you stop operating the Realm, but have a successor, tell a Valkyrie. At the discretion of the Valkyrie, they may move the Realm to Valhalla or may instead keep the listing online if the newly named successor agrees to these terms and conditions.

We generally do not delete the public record of any Realm — that is the whole reason for Midgard Realms to exist. A hall kept with the records, the memories, and the community.

Liability

Midgard Realms lists realms. We do not run them.

A Creator of Realms owns their realm, their game server, their Discord, their website, their rules, their staff, and their players. Listing here does not transfer ownership, partnership, or control to the hall. You do not become “with us.” You remain the operator.

We are not liable to you, or to your players, for:

• Your realm going down, rolling back, wiping, or shutting down.
• Lost characters, items, progress, or accounts on your server.
• Donations, cash shop, or any money players send you — we never hold that money and we never refund it.
• Your client, patches, downloads, or the files you tell people to install.
• Your Discord, your staff, or how you treat your community.
• Gravity, hosting providers, or anyone else acting against your realm.
• A listing that is pending, rejected, delayed, edited, or taken down.

Valkyrie approval is not a blessing. It means the form met the hall’s listing rules at the time it was reviewed. It does not mean your realm is safe, stable, legal, honest, or endorsed. We can refuse or remove a listing at any time, with or without a reason, including during beta.

You are responsible for what you submit. Rates, status, invites, claims, images, and contact info must be yours to publish and must stay accurate. If an Adventurer is misled by your listing, that is on you — not the hall.

Players who find you here are still your players. Disputes, bans, refunds, and drama stay between you and them. Do not send them to us to fix your realm.
