Rules for Manialink addresses and manialinks list
Posted: 24 Jan 2012, 14:37
On the player page, you can manage your Manialink addresses. Some new rules were introduced in ManiaPlanet so here are the official rules. They were made (quoting hylis) to avoid some players to borrow to many "key" name for manialink and enable the community to have a wider share of address.
Must be at least 6 chars
We only enable the Manialink with 6 letters or more. It should avoid many obvious short words in many langages that players tend to use, like 'home' or 'test' or 'link' etc.
Cannot begin or end with "mania"
We disable any Manialink starting with Mania and ending with Mania. We keep them for ourselves inside the game. We have a welcoming attitude with people calling stuff *Mania*, but these names, ingame, are too offical look a like to leave this to go up to there. Example: Manianews. This is something we used for years internally, that Ubisoft use on the website, that we say nothing against it for the youtube channel, but that would be a trouble for us to see on an internal Manialink.
Monthly fee of 100 Planets
It will cost planets to keep a name per month. We would like to avoid people trying to have as much manialink as possible and even letting them for years in a corner without updating it. The domain names will be then released again when they stop to pay the planets cost. Some will have no trouble to afford a lot, but at least, it will be a way to contribute to putting back in the system the planets.
