Account & Rules

❓ Can I share my account with friends or family?

No. Account sharing is strictly prohibited. Each person must have their own individual account.

Exception: If multiple people in the same household want to play, you must contact admins in Discord to register separate accounts for each person. Each account must be registered under a different individual.

❓ What is multi-accounting and why is it banned?

Multi-accounting means creating or using multiple accounts. This is strictly prohibited because it:

  • Allows players to unfairly accumulate resources and wealth
  • Disrupts the in-game economy and fair play
  • Enables resource pooling between accounts

Penalty: Secondary accounts will be permanently deleted, all items obtained through multi-accounting will be removed, and all associated Sims will have their funds reset to zero.

❓ What happens if I break the rules?

Violations of our Terms of Service or Community Guidelines can result in:

  • Temporary Suspension: Your account is locked for a period of time
  • Permanent Ban: Your account is permanently terminated and deleted
  • Item Confiscation: In-game items or currency may be removed

Severity depends on the offense. See our Terms of Service for details on what can get you banned.

❓ I'm 18+ but the server says I need to be older. Why?

XenoSO is a strictly 18+ community. If you're seeing an age restriction message, please verify your account registration or contact support in Discord.
