Player characters are allowed to be whatever the player wants it to be with the exception the player and character must be 18 yrs of age or older as well as follow the rules in this document. If a player chooses to create an alt or new character, all players are to treat this new alt or character separately from the actual player or other player characters. It would be as if you are interacting with two separate players.

9. Outposts are a part of the game and if you take an Outpost then someone comes behind you and retakes the outpost, this is legal and allowed. The game is designed this way with the outpost. No KOL, this is an rp server, not a PVP server. You must emote your intention or rp before killing someone. Consent sheets need to be checked anytime you rp with anyone. If you don’t know how to find the consent sheet please place a ticket under support and someone will be happy to help.

10. All admins and mods who join the team are subject to removal by an Owners description. Staff will be removed if the team does not feel they will work out or perform the duties they understand before becoming part of the team. Moderators will be incharge of intaking players so that the Admins can deal with more pressing issues. Admins have the responsibilities to take care of player issues as well as intaking players as and assisting the owners when delegating a task.

6. Admins may delete any building in violation of the rules at their discretion without notice.

7. Building with malicious intent to increase latency or rendering times is a bannable offense.

8. All players must be in a clan, even if you are a single player, to make it easier for the admins to assist you.

If you are approved for this you will be allowed an additional 400 build pieces and 100 additional placeables. 

20. No more than 4 thralls/pets placed TOTAL per person (you can keep extras in a chest.) You may bind sidekicks.

27. Refrain from hoarding excess materials. No more than 5 stacks of any type of ingredient. No more than 5 of each type of weapon per player. No more than 2 stacks of each type of any kit/tool per player. (The server loads everything, and it can affect the server performance.) Admins have the right to go into a players inventory or ask the player to open up all inventory to verify that they are not hoarding excess materials for the purpose to keep lag to a minimum.

28. Grim’s Shrine, Grim’s Blessing, Crusader’s Forge, Lore Items, Roleplay Crafting Benches, Skelos Vendor, and all other shrines are prohibited from being placed down at player or clan bases.

If you kill a NPC or come across bags on the ground containing items, please pick up the bag and place the items you don’t want in the trash can. If you continually place items on the ground that you do not want, you will be removed from the server for not following the rules. We are trying to keep the database as small as possible to limit the amount of lag a player will receive as the database grows.

33. Under no circumstances should you build outside of these rules.
