Server rules

The full list

No griefing

This means no building in the way of other players, or in such a way that you prevent people from getting to key resources. Similarly using dinos to block caves or narrow pathways will not be tolerated.

No camping resources

As the resources are very scarce and valuable hoarding resources is not in the spirit of everyone having fun. By all means trade with others if you have spares, but don’t just go out and stop others from getting what they need to progress.

No verbal abuse

Any form of hate speech or bullying etc is not acceptable. At admin discretion players will either be punished or banned depending on the transgression after a clear warning.

General ethos

We all want to have fun, its as simple as that.

So in keep that spirit in mind when you are playing. Obviously we expect a bit of ribbing and tom foolery from time to time, but lets not go to far!
