1. General Server Guidelines!

The PACK Disclaimer and Players Responsibility NOTICE:

❝Your presence in this server implies accepting these rules, including all further changes. We reserve the right to modify these rules in any way we deem necessary and at any moment, at our own discretion, it is your responsibility to check for them.❞

These rules are not comprehensive and use of loopholes to violate the spirit of these rules is subject to enforcement. Failure to follow these rules will result in being removed from the community! Furthermore, If someone is a participant of our Discord, and/or a Player on our Servers, A ban on Discord may also be pursued on the Server Cluster. Please follow all of the RULES found here!

We are unable to provide any refunds to persons or clans for loss of items, resources, in-game properties and so on, regardless of the reason. The Pack Gaming is not responsible for replacing items due to Glitches, Steam Cloud Errors, or Corrupted Players Clients.

We work on a "3 Strikes Method"

Please read through and consider the spirit of the rules, not just the specific wording. And make sure your clanmates are also aware of them as their actions can affect you. Any infraction by a player will most likely have repercussions for the entire clan. Other than this official post of rules, we do not issue warnings ahead of Admin intervention.

You and your Tribe/Clan get a warning. Such as a sign in your base or a message to talk with an admin.

You and your Tribe/Clan get a second warning. Same as above but Tames are confiscated, or buildings removed. Written note added to the Admins Log recording your player name and Tribe.

You and your Tribe/Clan get a third warning. As verified by our Admins Log. We are done, and you are Perm Banned.

Reporting Infractions:

Please contact us through our Discord, (https://discord.gg/RJVVraV), and fill out a ticket in our Discord (#Support-Tickets)

2. Infractions

Hacks and Exploits

Hacking, or using Exploits and other situations deemed as extreme will be met with a permanent ban on the first offense. Included in this category are: Real-Money Trading (RMT), use of third-party programs that inject code and modify aspects of the game to provide unfair advantage against other players. And abuses of game mechanics to obtain an unfair advantage over other players including creating a detrimental play experience through reduced server or game performance.

Harassment - Griefing

We allow coarse humor, rough language, and or content. If this is not for you, Thank you for your interest, but we may not be the BEST FIT for you. There are some offensive and defamatory chat and user-created content DEEMED NOT PERMITTED. Personal threats, doxing, stalking. This rule also extends to character names, guild names, in-game signs, any other type of communication in Server. Our admin team considers all the above action types of harassment . If reported to admins, you will receive up to a 5 day Temp - ban . Continued Harassment of this type will lead to a Perma-Ban.

If you experience Harassment / Griefing / or observe inappropriate content in-game, please fill out a ticket in our Discord (#Support-Tickets)

3. Auto-decay

Auto-decay Rates

The Pack maintains the server with a Decay rate that lasts x10 longer than normal, and decay is slowed by x10.

A Guild's Auto Decay rate will depend on the Maintenance of your Bonfire. Bonfires stay lit with fuel, and there are six different types of materials that serve as fuel: Thatch, Branches, Bark, Logs, Hardwood, and Premium Hardwood. These materials differ severely in both how abundant they are in the world around you and how long they keep a bonfire going.

Each material provides a certain amount of fuel per 300 stack:

  • Thatch: 14 minutes

  • Branch: 1.28 hours

  • Bark: 1.28 hours

  • Log: 3.75 hours

  • Hardwood: 35.45 hours

  • Premium Hardwood: 35.45 hours

Bark, while it doesn’t provide the most fuel time, is one of the better options for fuel because unlike the other items, it isn’t used in many other recipes. Both types of Hardwood provide the most fuel time, but Hardwood is also a very important crafting material. Do not use Thatch in a bonfire; it provides almost nothing to the fuel time and it’s way more useful in other crafting recipes.

You must maintain the Bonfire. It is the responsibility of the Player to make sure they refresh all timers on the servers they play on.

Wipe's

Wipes are only done when a save is corrupted or a mod errors and requires a full server wipe. We will endeavor to give Advance Notice of any Wipe upcoming.

4. Server Building Restrictions

Please remember that there are other players sharing the server with you. Restricting others’ access to content is not allowed beyond of course grabbing a spot for your base. This includes using building items to provide yourself with an unfair advantage at claiming loot, and thralls. If you wish to reign supreme on the map and hog all the resources and enemies, please consider single player.

Building Regulations:

All Building Regulations are per the whole tribe. This does not impact those players that play in a solo tribe.

Multiplayer Clans may have up to 6 Bonfires. Your clan can decide how they implement those bonfires. With the understanding they will need to have “FOB” bases in other Portal Regions.

Solo Tribes also have up to 6 Bonfires, but should attempt to make only one large main Base, with several small “FOB” bases in other Portal Regions.

No Massive constructions or over-use of memory intensive items leading to loss of performance both on client and server-side. Exp. - builds of over 2000 tiles or with more than 50 followers can be memory intensive.

No building within the RENDER range of another player's build. All claims must be at least 100 blocks apart.

No Blocking of content in the game, such as caves, dungeons, obelisks, resources, Mini and World Boss spawns, and other areas of the game such as lore notes, ghosts, and Mod's Lore areas. No Abuse of the claim system where blocks are placed for no other purpose than to prevent other players’ access to resources and building spots.

Core game respawn radius is now 20 foundation stones away.

6. Specific Rules:

We are unable to provide any refunds to persons or clans for loss of items, resources, in-game properties and so on, regardless of the reason. The Pack Gaming is not responsible for replacing items Game Glitches, or Corrupted Players Clients.

Client Side Crashes:

Any type of Client Side Crash can create a loss of saved data for the player. As well as Player deaths and tame/tribe member deaths while you were handling the crash. These incidents will not produce a bag or recoverable items in the death recovery system. Admins have no access to the Data.sav files and can not replace a players file in the server.

Server Crashes and Restarts:

Server Crashes will have a 5 to 14 min. Rollback to the save Prior to the restart, or to the last save before the Crash. All Data collected between the Save timestamp and the restart / Crash will be erased. Server Restarts will have a save 3 mins prior to a Restart. If you do not log out before the 3 min. Mark, you can lose some game data to the server resetting. Please always try to get to a safe stopping point before the 5 min Restart warning!
