Global Server Rules

These rules can be added to at any given time. Staff may punish for what is not listed if deemed necessary.

Please note, the listed punishments are a guideline for staff; staff can punish more severely.

Punishments depend purely on severity. Any punishment that is dealt an IP-Ban is permanent and considered a blacklist.

CHAT RULES

  1. Remain Respectful. If you have nothing nice to say, don't say anything at all. Being disrespectful covers a plethora of common rules. For example, hate speech, discrimination harassment, or directly swearing at another player, etc. We have 0 tolerance for bullying as well. If a player asks you to leave them alone, or leave their claim, do so without a second thought.

  1. Do not uglify chat. Refrain from spamming and making our public chat(s) ugly. For example, do not repetitively post the same/similar message more than 3 times within a short time span.
