We are unable to provide any refunds to persons or Guilds for loss of items, resources, in-game properties and so on, regardless of the reason. Palworld is in an Alpha state and we are unable to Admin Spawn Items, and Pals.
❝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. ❞
Personal Responsibility & Tribal/Clan Membership
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. If you’re not sure your clanmates will abide by the rules you might want to reconsider your membership in that tribe/clan. And if you do not plan on playing on a specific server any more it is often best to also leave your tribe/clan there.
Admin Involvement in Tribal Affairs
If you do not understand how to Merge, OR Join your tribes ASK! ADMINS CAN ASSIST, and or give valuable information to help you prevent loss of tames, or buildings. If you have merged or joined and lost your builds, unfortunately we cannot assist with recovering most buildings ownership.
Admins rarely get involved in intra-tribal(things going on inside a tribe) issues and or inter-tribal(things between two tribes) issues. UNLESS the altercations escalate to the stage of griefing or harassment.
Hacks & Exploits
Hacks and exploits are not tolerated. This is a BAN first, ask questions later mater.
Real-Money Trading (RMT) - GAME items, creatures, or services must only be exchanged for other items, creatures, or services within the game. Trading for real-world currency (real money) is not an accepted form of trading and is forthwith prohibited on our cluster.
Hacks are uses of third-party programs that inject code and modify aspects of the game to provide unfair advantage against other players. Utilizing such will lead to action taken against your access to our servers and flags added to your Steam ID.
Exploits are uses 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.
2. Infractions
We work on a "3 Strikes Method"
Strike One: You and your Tribe/Clan get a warning. This can be Slept tames to Us removing the offending objects or tames. And a Sign informing you of the offense.
Strike Two: We have to talk to you about a new rule or you broke the same one again. You can have creatures or buildings removed up to a Temp BAN. Temp Bans are 3 to 5 days without access to the servers.
Strike Three: We are done, and you are Perm Banned.
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. We do not issue warnings ahead of Admin intervention. Hacking, or using Exploits and other situations deemed as extreme will be met with a permanent ban on the first offense.

4. Auto-decay and Claiming
Auto-decay
It is the responsibility of the Player to make sure they refresh all timers on the servers they play on. Anything that is claimable/demo-able can and will be cleared up by the other residents of the Servers.
Decay is Different for Valheim. Please read here: Building | Valheim Wiki | Fandom

The Main PORTAL hub at the spawn point is a protected build. Please do your best to avoid any Events happening there. If they do gather any broken resources up and place in chests left there for that purpose. Contact @Narco in Discord about repairs.
5. 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 crates, artifacts and OSD's. If you wish to reign supreme on the map and hog all the resources and enemies, please consider single player.
Building Regulations:
All Building rules are designed around a Solo Player Or a multi-player tribe. No personal bases to those that are tribe members allowed. Unless you are a solo player, and they must abide by the next two rules.
One MAIN Land Claim of no more than 100 x 100 foundations. Portals and such may be built in a building outside your claim block, no larger than a 40 x 40 block area.
Up to 4 Outpost Claims of an area of 40 x 40 Foundations will be allowed.
No Massive constructions (lets not build the Tower of Babel so something like that) or over-use of memory intensive items leading to loss of performance both on client and server-side. Please don't overuse the hoe or pick, and create huge lag spots of disturbed terrain.
No building within RENDER range of another players build. All claims must be at least 100 blocks apart unless players are in Alliance with another clan.
No Blocking of content in the game, such as caves, dungeons, obelisks, resources and other areas of the game such as lore notes.
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.
Building Specifics Allowed:
Building in/on Ruins IS allowed but do not block any entrance to other Areas. Please stay as close to the allowed base/outpost size as possible. Please do not kill every Ruin you come across, others are playing the map with you!
Cave building - IS allowed but do not block any entrance to other Areas. Please stay as close to the allowed base/outpost size as possible. Please do not kill every Ruin you come across, others are playing the map with you!
Blocking content/ Hoarding
Blocking content/Hoarding
No Blocking of content in the game, such as caves, dungeons, resource rich areas, or boss areas. Do not enclose in a fence more than three nodes of ORE, or any known Loot chest spawn. Please leave a passage to the Chests, Obelisks, and Shrines.
Do not camp dungeons, or other group hunt instances. Groups may wait to get in if it is a one or two man instance.
Please don't hoard resources! A large storage of each resource is enough for a large Guild!. Plan accordingly.
No Massive constructions (lets not build the Tower of Dragons so something like that). Creates a chance for a memory leak that can crash the server until the build is removed.
Time will not be spent to carefully remove only offending pieces. All constructions belonging to the owner (player or clan) will be destroyed. There will be no refunds of materials or inventories.
6. Valheim Server Specific rules
LOOT FROM SINGLE PLAYER -
As the game allows for the use of loot from Single player transferred into our Server. Owners would like to ask you to please keep this withing your own guild please. We don't mind sharing between guilds but Lets attempt to let different guilds get to endgame at their pace. Thank you from the Owners.
GAME PROGRESSION -
Please be considerate of other players and do not rush through the Bosses. Game progression is tied to ALL players of a server. Not just you. Please see the below infographic for understanding.
We ask that players do Yagluth on thier own worlds, and gather the items there for progress in the MISTLANDS, as defeating Yagluth unlocks Fulings to spawn at night in the Meadows, Black Forest, and Mountain.
SEE Below Infographic on Events and Bosses they are tied to.
7. #PVE-P.
Player VS Environment - vs other Players with a Mutual Agreement to War.
ORP- Online Raid Protection which also applies to any build left on the map when the player is OFFLINE. We play as an alliance of several small tribes. With a Mutual Aggression Pact (See #Mutual Aggression Pact) Currently player damage is toggled in your inventory screen with the Straight/Crossed Swords, so please don't attack each other if you have not mutually agreed to Aggression!, (ORP).
8. MUTUAL AGGRESSION PACT
MUTUAL AGGRESSION PACT
Mutual Aggression is where two or more clans have officially agreed to WAR. HOW WE ARE DOING THIS: Two or more tribes agree to WAR, they will make a written agreement in the Global or Discord channel. If in Global they need to SCREENSHOT the agreement and post in the DISCORD #valheim-chat Channel.
YOU MUST SCREENSHOT OR PASTE THIS INTO THE #Valheim-chat Channel in our Discord.
Your clans are allowed 24hours for war.
Clans will receive a 24 hour period of ORP where NO other Clan can propose war with you.
