Rules
Keep it fair.
A short list, written so everyone has a good time. Play in good faith and you'll never have to think about most of these.
Everywhere
These apply across every server and our Discord.
1
Respect everyone
No harassment, hate speech, slurs, discrimination, or targeted toxicity. Banter is fine; making someone's day worse is not.
2
No cheating or exploits
Cheats, hacks, macros, duplication bugs, or abusing glitches for an edge all end the same way: a ban. Found a bug? Report it instead of farming it.
3
Don't ruin the game for others
Griefing, spawn-camping, mass-trolling, and stream-sniping aren't gameplay. The point is that everyone keeps playing.
4
No advertising or spam
Don't promote other servers, sell accounts, or spam links and invites in chat or Discord.
5
Keep personal data private
No doxxing, no sharing anyone's real-life info, no impersonating staff or other players.
6
Staff decisions are final
If staff ask you to stop something, stop. Disagreements get sorted out calmly in Discord, not by arguing mid-game.

PZ
No safehouse griefing
Don't destroy or loot-strip claimed bases for the sake of it. Respect safehouse claims.
PZ
PvP within reason
Fights happen, but spawn-killing and endless harassment don't. Give people room to actually play.
These rules grow with the community — they can change as servers and games are added.
When something isn't covered explicitly, the spirit of rule 3 applies: don't ruin
the game for others. Questions or appeals go through our Discord.
