Rules
By joining and remaining on the server, every player agrees to follow these rules. All members are expected to behave respectfully, responsibly and fairly.
Punishment System
Punishments follow a progressive sanction scale and may vary depending on the severity of the violation, the player's intentions, previous violations, cooperation with staff and the damage caused to the server or community.
The general punishment scale is:
Verbal Warning → Official Warning → Mute / Kick → Temporary Ban → Permanent Ban
Staff members are not required to apply punishments in progressive order. Serious, intentional, repeated or harmful violations may result in a stronger punishment immediately.
Additional measures such as item removal, inventory rollback, progress reset, exclusion from events or removal of illegally obtained advantages may be applied when appropriate.
The punishment ranges listed below indicate the minimum and maximum punishment normally applicable. The final punishment is determined by staff based on the circumstances of each case.

Punishment Guidelines
Punishments are evaluated case by case.
Staff should consider:
- the seriousness of the violation;
- whether the action was accidental or intentional;
- the player's previous punishment history;
- whether the violation was repeated;
- the player's cooperation during the investigation;
- the advantage obtained through the violation;
- the damage caused to players, the economy or the server;
- attempts to hide or destroy evidence;
- attempts to evade punishment.
Again, a player does not automatically receive the minimum punishment listed in the table.
Likewise, staff members are not required to issue every punishment in order before applying a more serious sanction.
For example, an intentional and large-scale cheating offense may result directly in a Permanent Ban, even if the player has no previous punishments.
Additional In-Game Measures
When applicable, staff may combine a punishment with one or more of the following measures:
- confiscation of illegally obtained items;
- removal of currency or resources;
- inventory rollback;
- balance rollback;
- progress rollback;
- removal from rankings or leaderboards;
- removal of event rewards;
- temporary or permanent exclusion from events;
- removal of claims, builds or structures created through exploits;
- restoration of damage caused to other players;
- removal of advantages obtained through alternative accounts.
These measures are considered corrective actions and may be applied in addition to mutes, kicks, temporary bans or permanent bans.
Administrative Rules
The following sections do not have a predefined punishment range because they establish how the rules themselves are managed and interpreted.
| # | Rule | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 13 | Changes to the Rules | Server management may modify, update, expand, replace or remove rules at any time. Players are responsible for keeping themselves informed. |
| 14 | Interpretation of the Rules | Final interpretation belongs to server staff and management. Loopholes, technicalities or ambiguous wording cannot be used to justify inappropriate behavior. |
| 15 | Acceptance of the Rules | By joining the server, players confirm that they have read, understood and accepted the rules and accept responsibility for their actions. |
