Basics
This is a comprehensive overview of the server rules, intended as a reference to users or a refresher to returning players. These rules are subject to change at any time - any significant changes may be notified via Discord and or a forum post.
Server Rules
1. No griefing, stealing, or insiding islands/plots - insiding means joining an property just to loot it than leave.
2. No NSFW in chat (public or private) or player, property, entity or item names, or signs, builds and references.
3. No hostile actions towards players - be respectful and polite to others at all times. See conflict resolution below.
4. No manipulation of other players - including contacting new players to acquire their rare one-time quest items.
5. Please do not use bugs or server exploits - report any issues you find and do not use them for your personal gain.
6. No cheating in competitions, events, or within normal game play in a way intended to give you an unfair advantage.
7. Please be patient with the staff - we have other players to help too, so please wait for a response; we usually answer within 2 hours. Max 24 hours
8. Please do not be rude to staff - staff have rules to follow too, our goal is not to make your lives harder, but to protect the server.
9. Please do not (intentionally) follow staff around while they complete their daily tasks - please let us do our work in peace.
10. No mini-modding - you can help players observe noted server rules, but please report a player if they are breaking a rule.
11. Chunk loaders are expressly forbidden - chunk loaders massively impact our servers performance.
12 Using alts to farm resources is expressly forbidden - same reason for chunk loaders; it impacts performance.
Abuse of exploits or issues and circumventing the rules for personal gain will be considered a serious breach of conduct expectations. If proven, this will result in in- game balance deductions/confiscations, warnings, temp bans, or removal of server access entirely.
Conflict Resolution
If you have a serious concern for anyone breaking server rules, not engaging appropriately, or there is a currently ongoing or potential for a dispute to arise, you can contact moderators at ANY time. You can do this in one of the following ways:
Tag a staff member @Mod or @Admin - this works in Discord or in-game!
Contact an online and on-duty Mod or Admin privately via in-game message (/msg [name] message here).
Contact an online Mod or Admin privately via Discord.
You can re-tag or message another mod/admin if the issue is escalating and needs URGENT attention.
PvP Rules
It is your responsibility to keep yourself safe in PVP zones, staff members will not reimburse you because you died. Staff cannot rescue your grave from PVP, nor negotiate a truce on your behalf. Please only report a player if they are breaking established PVP rules. If they're within those rules, we cannot and will not take action against someone using PVP as intended. It's understandable to not like PVP, or feel aggravated if attacked, but do not submit a complaint just to spite someone following the rules.
1. No spawn camping - do not camp the area where players jump into the PvP zone
2. No grave guarding - you must not prevent a player from obtaining their grave unless they attack you first
3. No targeting - you (and any allies of yours) must not go out of your way to target specific individuals repeatedly.
4. No cheating - you must not use any kind of mods, cheats, or glitches that give you an unfair advantage over others.
Additional
The following rules are not rules users are subject to, rather those that we follow as a staff/moderation team.
1. Staff do not offer grave rescues unless you are unable to break it due to gamemode restrictions or another player interfering.
3. Staff cannot replace lost items due to mod error unless a decision is made to do so under set circumstances for ALL.
4. Staff are subject to the same gameplay rules and restrictions as normal users - what you can't do/get, neither can we. The obvious exception to this is when tasked with staff-related duties.
5. Staff have the right to protected downtime to play the server without interruption.
