Terms of Service
Last updated: October 8, 2026
Welcome to Athena Online. By creating an account or using the site, you agree to these terms. They're written to be short and readable. They're interim terms while the game is in development, and we'll update them (and the date above) as it grows.
The game is in development
Athena Online is a free, work-in-progress game. Features, balance, items and progress may change, and things may break. We may need to reset, roll back or remove game data (for example characters, items or Republic Points) to fix bugs or rebalance the game. The site is provided "as is", without guarantees that it will always be available or error-free.
Your account
- Give a working email address and keep your password to yourself. You're responsible for what happens on your account.
- One person per account, and one character per account for now.
- Don't pick usernames, display names or character names that impersonate staff or other people, or that are offensive.
Community rules
Be decent to other players. When using the forum, chat, profiles or comments, don't:
- Harass, threaten, or post hateful or sexually explicit content.
- Spam, advertise, or post links to malware or scams.
- Post other people's personal information.
- Post content you don't have the right to share.
Fair play
- Don't cheat, use bots or automation, or exploit bugs to gain an advantage. If you find a bug, please report it on the forum.
- Don't try to access other players' accounts or data, or attack or overload the site.
Your content
You keep ownership of what you post. By posting it on Athena Online, you allow us to store it, display it on the site and keep it as needed to run the community (for example, quoted in other people's replies).
Virtual items and Republic Points
Items and Republic Points are part of the game. They have no real-world value, can't be exchanged for money, and aren't your property. Athena Online doesn't currently sell anything for real money.
Moderation
Site administrators may edit or remove content, and may suspend or close accounts that break these terms or harm the game or community.
Changes
We may update these terms. If the change matters, we'll let players know, for example in a forum announcement. Continuing to use the site after an update means you accept the new terms.
Privacy
Our Privacy Policy explains what information we store and how it's used.
