When submitting runs to Murlocs, you agree to:

  • Provide valid video proof: All runs must include a link to a video recording (Twitch, YouTube, or Kick)
  • Submit accurate data: Times, character information, and dungeon details must be correct
  • Solo runs only: Currently, only solo dungeon runs are accepted (no party or raid runs)
  • No cheating: Use of exploits, bugs, or third-party tools to gain unfair advantages is prohibited
  • Original content: You must be the player in the submitted run

Beta Status

Murlocs is currently in beta. Features may change, and data may be reset during this period. We will make reasonable efforts to preserve data but cannot guarantee it.

Changes to Terms

We reserve the right to modify these terms at any time. Continued use of the Service after changes constitutes acceptance of the new terms.
