The PACK Smallands PVE Co-OPT. Guidelines
Coming Soon!
1. COMMON SENSE Guidelines
The PACK Gaming has several different game platforms and servers. These come as a free service to all our players but come with certain rules and strict enforcement. 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.
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! Please follow all of the RULES found here!
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. We will put a note in the Message of the Day on Specific servers when there are significant updates.
2. Personal Responsibility & Tribal/Clan Membership
❝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. ❞
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 - 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.
3. Infractions
3A. 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.
3B. Reporting Infractions

Do not trespass into a base not your own, unless by accident. Nor visiting or hanging around in a base NOT yours. If someone asks you to leave, DO SO.

Our admin team considers all the above action types of Griefing or Harassment. If reported to admins you can be temporarily suspended for 5 days. Continued Griefing of this type will lead to a The PACK Gaming Server wide Ban.
5. 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.
6. Smalland's Hosted Server Specific rules
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. If you wish to reign supreme on the map and hog all the resources and enemies, please consider single player. Some specific cases where we will act when made aware:
One MAIN Land Claim of no more than 25 x 25 foundations. You may build in the tree with The Pack on the outer branches, or choose your own Giant Tree. Tree locations are marked in the map on the Smallands page.
No Massive constructions (lets not build the Hive of Bees or something like that) or over-use of memory intensive items leading to loss of performance both on client and server-side. Please don't hoard resources, a single box of each resource is enough for a two man tribe!. Plan accordingly.
No Blocking of content in the game, such as dungeons, resources and paths to other areas of the game.
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. Do not camp dungeons.
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.
8. Decay Timers:
It is the responsibility of the Player to make sure they repair all decay of buildings, on the server they play on. If you do have a situation occur where you need help, please think about getting a tribe/clan mate. ALL ADMIN or OWNER claims are off limits. Decay is Different for Smalland's. Weather will Decay your builds to Half health.
9. Community Builds:
The Main Pack Base in the Giant tree near Skaldi, is a protected build. Please do not destroy anything in the build.
10. PVE or PVP?
Our server is running in Campaign mode. This is PVE style play. Any aggression to others must be mutually agreed to between the two players (or group of players). Admins Do NOT get involved in Mutual Aggression situations!
