Griefing Within Reason
This is a vanilla server raiding, roaming, and PvP are all part of the game. However, excessive griefing (e.g. destroying a wiped base with no loot value purely to grief) may be reviewed by staff.
Teaming on Solo/Duo/Trio Servers
On servers with group limits, do not team with more players than the server allows. Staff actively monitor this. Violations result in a wipe of your group and potential ban.
Listen to Staff
If an admin or moderator asks you to stop a behaviour, stop. Arguing with or disrespecting staff in public chat will result in escalating punishments. Use Discord to appeal decisions.
Admin Discretion
Admins reserve the right to issue punishments for behaviour not explicitly listed above if it is deemed harmful to the community. The goal is a fair, enjoyable server for everyone. Permanent bans are reviewed by the server owner. To appeal a ban, open a ticket in our Discord server.
