Writing in full caps / trolling / advertising in chat
+
Writing messages in full caps, trolling, spamming, or disrupting chat is not allowed. Advertising other servers, communities, or services in chat is prohibited and may result in a kick or ban.
Report rule-breaking via ticket, not in general chat
+
If you suspect someone is breaking the rules, please create a ticket instead of reporting it in public chat. Reporting in chat may warn the suspected player and cause them to stop, hide, or delete evidence of the behavior. This makes it harder for admins to properly investigate the situation. Tickets allow admins to monitor players discreetly and gather accurate evidence.
Minimal trash talk only
+
Trash talk is allowed in reasonable amounts. Emotional or expressive statements directed at the situation, the game, or oneself are acceptable (e.g. frustration over losing loot, swearing at oneβs own mistake, etc.).
R-easonable trash talk directed at other players is also tolerated, as long as it is not personal, targeted, or repeatedly aggressive.
Once the affected person objects to the trash talk or reports it, the behavior will be considered a violation of the rules and the person who used the trash talk may be punished.
No offensive language, racism, or hate speech
+
Offensive language, racism, hate speech, or any form of discrimination based on race, ethnicity, nationality, religion, gender, sexual orientation, or political beliefs is strictly prohibited. Any content or behavior unrelated to gameplay that targets or attacks individuals or groups will not be tolerated.
No allies on team-restricted servers or breaking group limit
+
On team-restricted servers, alliances or cooperation with other teams or solo players are not allowed. Teams must play independently and may not share bases, loot, resources, or information. The maximum group size is 6 players, and exceeding or bypassing this limit in any way is prohibited. Repeated or intentional violations will be punished.
Leaking private info (names, address, work, etc.) = permanent ban
+
Sharing, leaking, or attempting to obtain private or personal information of other players is strictly prohibited. This includes, but is not limited to, real names, addresses, workplace or school details, phone numbers, social media accounts, or any other identifying information. Any violation of this rule will result in an immediate and permanent ban.
Cheating & exploiting is prohibited = PERMANENT BAN
