   My first thought on reading the new code of conduct and rules was that you guys must be joking.

"In order to create a positive and respectful environment for both the Illyriad players and staff, the following are strictly prohibited both in game and on the forums:"
Since this only specifies "in game", do these rules apply to Alliance Chat as well?

Are you trying to say, that we're not allowed to discuss religion or politics in our own private chats?  In private IGMs?  Or does "in game" really mean in Global Chat?  If so, then that should be specified.
    discussions and debates of a real world religious or political nature
No discussions of a "political nature" ??? 
    posting personal information such as address, phone number, real name or other identifying information
You're telling us we're not allowed to tell people our names???  This is the one that makes me think you must be kidding.  There's draconian, there's 1984, then there's this .. I'm pretty sure in George Orwell's future you could still tell people your name.
    discussion of illegal activities
No discussion of illegal activities?  Illegal in what jurisdiction?  Since these are the rules of the land, is it illegal to discuss profanity here?  Is this post discussing illegal activities, since the purpose is to discuss the activities which have not been deemed legal in Illyriad?
