    Server Rules

    DarkRP Rules

    Common Courtesy

    • Be kind; no abusive or hurtful behavior, including toward staff.
    • Take responsibility for your actions; don’t disrupt, stall, or void role-play unless an admin instructs you.
      • Leaving to avoid punishment, baiting others to break rules, or ignoring staff messages is not allowed.
    • Admin instructions are final across all platforms. Dispute them only via a staff report afterward.
    • Public chats must be in English.
    • Use @ message for general questions; use a staff request for issues. Direct-messaging admins is discouraged.
    • AFK is allowed if you’re not obstructing active areas; otherwise do so at your own risk.
    • Any discrimination (hate-speech, homophobia, racism, antisemitism, etc.) is forbidden.

    Punishment: verbal warning up to ban depending on severity.

    Metagaming (MG)

    • Using out-of-character information in character—or inciting others to do so—is prohibited.

      • You may not act on events your character didn’t witness.

    • Interactions void after 10 s without visual contact (or job-switch). You may hold sight for at most 2 min before a scenario voids.

    Punishment: admin jail up to ban based on impact.

    Random Deathmatching (RDM)

    • Assault includes damage, threats, tasing, bug-bait, wants/warrants, stunstick, strangling.

    • Killing/attempting to kill without valid reason is forbidden.

      • Direct threats to life, property, or freedom may be killed without warning.
      • For all else, issue a 10-second typed warning with clear instructions; ensure targets see it.

    • Do not kill people issuing warnings that don’t target you; confirm first if uncertain.

    • If warning instructions are met, do not kill the warned party unless they show hostile intent (e.g., unholstering weapons, assaulting, stealing, issuing warnings to you).

    • Revenge killing without a new reason is not allowed.

    Punishment: verbal warning up to ban.

    Robbing, Mugging & Scamming

    • Robbing: taking possessions by force/threat. Scamming: refusing agreed payment/goods after a transaction.
    • Players under 50 h playtime may not be sole robbery/mugging targets (abuse is punishable).
    • Scamming is strictly forbidden—always use text chat for logs.
    • Mugging cap: $5,000; issue a 10-second mug warning specifying target & amount.
    • Don’t rob/mug the same player more than once per 10 min.
    • Loans and peer-to-peer gambling are at your own risk; staff won’t intervene.

    Punishment: verbal warning up to ban.

    Building & Basing

    • Max 3 fading doors per base; 10 props per fading door.

    • Layouts must be clear—no mazes, traps, hidden keypads, crouch/jump obstacles, sky-bases, mega-bases, frictionless slides, etc.

    • No property hoarding for resale; unused owned bases may be cleared for others.

    • Use Building signs while constructing; remove once finished.

    Punishment: verbal warning up to ban.

    Raiding

      • Raiders must have sufficient tools to complete the raid or be related to someone who does.
      • Running out of supplies = leave base (Fail Raid otherwise).

    • Raid zone: 10 shoulder lengths from any entrance/exit/wall; anyone inside may be KOS.

    • Leaving/dying removes raiders from participation; defenders may return.

    • No spawning props or modifying base during an active raid; non-participants must not interfere.

    • Raid ends when all raiders die or exit raid zone.

    • Don’t raid clearly empty/build-signed bases; 10 min cooldown before raiding same base/player again (applies to faction).

      • Raids may not exceed 10 min.

    Punishment: verbal warning up to ban.
