Terms
Madlands · playmadlands.com · last updated September 29, 2026
Madlands is a small online game made by an independent developer. By playing it you agree to these terms. They're short on purpose.
Playing fair
Don't cheat, bot, exploit bugs on purpose, or attack the servers. Don't harass other players, and keep hate speech, slurs and sexual content out of names and chat. Accounts that break these rules can be muted, kicked or banned, for a while or for good. You can report a player from the Players list in the game, and mute anyone you'd rather not hear.
Your account
You must be 13 or older to play. A guest account lives in your browser: if you clear it without signing in, the account can't be recovered. Characters die for good (that's the game), and lost items aren't restored.
The game changes
Madlands is still being built. Items, classes, balance and the world will change, and the servers can go down. The game is provided as it is, without guarantees.
Gems and cosmetics
- Gems are bought with real money through Stripe and spent on cosmetics (dyes, name colors and auras), character slots and vault chests. They never give an advantage in combat.
- Gems and cosmetics are a license to use them in the game, not property. They have no cash value, can't be traded, sold or transferred, and can't be exchanged back for money.
- Purchases are final once the gems are in your account, except where the law where you live gives you a right to a refund. If a payment went wrong (charged twice, gems never arrived), email us within 30 days and we'll put it right.
- If a payment is refunded or disputed, its gems are taken back; spending them first can leave your balance below zero.
- Deleting your account, or a ban for breaking these terms, ends your gems and cosmetics without a refund. If Madlands ever shuts down for good, we'll give at least 30 days' notice in the game.
Privacy
What we keep about you, and how to delete it, is on the privacy page.
Changes
If these terms change, the date above changes too; big changes will be announced in the game.
