Exceptions may be made at the sole discretion of the operators of the game, and may be revoked at any time without notice.

Spirit of the Rules

Players attempting to manipulate rules and quirks of the game in ways obviously not intended may be subject to deletion. Because of their nature, these types of circumstances are considered on a case-by-case basis. Users should avoid actions they believe are against the spirit and intent of the game.

Fair & Honorable Play

The operators of the game aim to maintain the highest standards of ethics within the game. Any instance of inappropriate language, manipulation of bugs, or acts of deception/fraud can result in immediate removal from the game. We rely on our users to help us enforce these rules and provide an enjoyable gaming environment for users of all ages and backgrounds.

Language & Attitude

Utopia is played by people of all ages and backgrounds. You are expected to treat others with respect and use only appropriate language in any contact with other players. In particular:

Players may select names for their province, leader and kingdom, which are visible to other players in the game. As such, these names are subject to the Language & Attitude rules defined above. In addition, the following rules apply:

  • Names may not contain gibberish (for example, “asdqwe”, “lkjlkjlkj”, “542341224” etc)
  • Names may not be designed to be confusingly similar to other names in the game. For example, it is forbidden for the provinces of a kingdom to select names that are deliberately difficult to distinguish from each other.
  • Names may not be designed to be confusing with respect to the normal text of the game. For example, it is forbidden to set a kingdom name that reads like an error message to a novice player.

We reserve the right to modify this Agreement and any aspect of the Game, with or without prior notice. Your continued use of the Game following any revision to this Agreement constitutes your complete and irrevocable acceptance of any and all such changes.

Privacy Policy

At MUGA Gaming, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (together with its subsidiaries and or affiliated companies, the “Company”, “we,” or “us”), your privacy is very important to us. The purpose of this privacy policy (this “Policy”) is to provide you with a description of the types of information we collect about you when you visit the Company web site located at www.utopia-game.com and associated sub-domains (the “Site”) or use the products, applications or services we provide through the Site (the “Services”), and how we use that information. This Policy only applies to information collected while you are on the Site or accessing the Services.

Information We Collect. We collect and store information that you voluntarily provide to us as well as data related to your Site visit and use of the Services. We may request that you provide personally identifiable information, including your email address and other information from which your identity is or may be discernible. The information we collect may be stored on our servers, and on the servers of third party service providers. In addition, we may collect certain aggregate information and analytical data related to your Site visit usage and use of the Services (see “Use of Cookies” below). Aggregate information is non-personally identifiable or anonymous information about you, and may include the date and time of your visit, the IP address of your computer or mobile device, your computer or mobile device browser information, the Internet address that you visited prior to and after reaching the Site or Service, the name of the domain and host you used to access the Internet, the type of mobile device you use, your mobile device’s unique device ID and the features of our Site and Service which you accessed.

We may disclose personally identifiable information to third party service providers that perform functions on our behalf, such as companies or individuals that host or operate our Site, analyze data, or provide customer service. We are not limited in our use of non-personal information that does not permit direct association with any specific individual, or non-identifiable aggregate information about our users (such as the number of users of our Services and the geographic distribution of our users). We disclose information that we, in good faith, believe is appropriate to cooperate in investigations of fraud or other illegal activity. We disclose information in response to a subpoena, warrant, court order, levy, attachment, order of a court-appointed receiver or other comparable legal process, including subpoenas from private parties in a civil action. We may disclose information to your agent or legal representative (such as the holder of a power of attorney that you grant, or a guardian appointed for you). We may share information with companies that provide public relations and marketing services for us. As with any other business, it is possible that in the future we could merge with or be acquired by another company. If such an acquisition occurs, the successor company would have access to the information maintained by us, including customer account information, but would continue to be bound by this Policy unless and until it is amended. We may share aggregate (non-personally identifiable) information with certain third parties such as advertisers, industry organizations, and prospective affiliates.
