TERMS OF CONDUCT

Server Rules & Codex

These rules exist to ensure the best roleplay experience for everyone. Ignorance of the rules is not an excuse.

Violations lead to localized administrative actions up to restrictions.

General Rules

Section Protocol Breakdown
1.1

Respect All Players

Treat every player with respect. Harassment, racism, sexism, or any form of discrimination will result in an immediate permanent ban.

1.2

No Metagaming

Using out-of-character (OOC) information in roleplay is strictly forbidden. Your character only knows what they have learned in-game.

1.3

No Powergaming

Do not force actions on other players or perform unrealistic feats. Roleplay must be believable and fair to all parties.

1.4

Stay In Character

Remain in character at all times unless using designated OOC channels. Breaking character disrupts the immersion for everyone.

1.5

No Exploiting

Exploiting bugs, glitches, or any server vulnerabilities will result in a permanent ban. Report bugs through the Discord ticket system.
