Server Rules

Rules and Guidelines:

Respect your fellow players and admins.

Do not Random Deathmatch (RDM)

RDM is killing/downing another player without any type of HOSTILE role-play being initiated and reasonable amount of time for the target to react.

Intentions must be clearly stated to the intended target, and they MUST be given reasonable time to react. Text messages through phone to the player is a allowed method of starting RP.

Revenge killing is NOT a form of role-playing reasoning.

RDM rules do NOT apply within ILLEGAL areas.

Cartels, Rebel - 300 Meters. (Arm's Island in its entirety is a redzone. The redzone does not extend past the islands borders.)
Wongs, Drug Dealer - The target must be with in range of using the NPC/Sign
You must make sure you have your in-game effects volume turned up! This is the sound level for your direct communication. VON is used for Vehicle, Group, and Side.

No type of initiation may be done through direct chat side chat, or vehicle via typing. All initiation must be done with your voice or via text message.  

The rules around RDM have changed slightly: Please refer to the changes Here!

If a player complies and does what you ask, that does not give you the right to still kill them. You need to have a legit RP reason why they must still die and not having any money when you rob them is not enough.

If a player knowingly enters an active fire fight they do so at their own risk.

Do not Vehicle Deathmatch (VDM)

VDM is using your vehicle as an OFFENSIVE weapon.

Dropping a sling loaded vehicle from a helicopter to intentionally kill a player or cause destruction by "bombing" them is also considered VDM, and is not allowed.

Armored Vehicles may be used in an offensive manner against other vehicles only in a role-play situation. (Strider/Hunter/Ifrit).

You may hit a player with your vehicle only if they are firing at you, and blocking your direct path of travel. You may not maneuver to intentionally hit a player.

***Intentional*** contact between vehicles is not allowed and will be treated as VDM. Example: If someone is in a IFRIT, and a hatch back rams into their side, back, or front on purpose, they will be held accountable for VDM regardless if the IFRIT was destroyed or disabled.

Exploiting

Knowingly using a bug or glitch to your advantage or another's detriment is not allowed.
This includes but is not limited to:

Being downed/restrained and still having the ability to move.
Hiding in places that conceal your player in a manner that is not intended such as, in rocks, sandbags, vehicles, static objects (crashed helis and vehicles placed) ect.
The use of an increased DPI in order to avoid a fight or death, or any other situation where the unnatural movement speeds would impede an interaction or immersion.
Exiting or driving any vehicle or helicopter, locked or unlocked, while downed or in restraints.
Entering a player's house by any means other than thru an unlocked/open door. (Including shed skylights)
The unflip option cannot be used to elevate any vehicle to any position in which it is not able to be driven to
Dropping Y inventory to prevent other players from climbing ladders, entering doors, or to block roadways is not allowed.
Combat Logging

Do not exit the game, return to lobby, or respawn (suicide button) to avoid a role-play situation.

Another player breaking rules does not give you the right to combat log.

This rule also applies to storing vehicles. This includes, but is not limited to, being engaged in a firefight, being chased, or having your vehicle stolen after you pull it from the garage.

Admin Events

This falls under the "Don't be a dick" clause. Admins do events to create fun for the community. If you deliberately attempt to ruin or get in the way expect action to be taken at the admins discretion.

Real Estate.

Scamming other players via the forum or in-game for real estate transactions is not allowed.

Stream sniping

Do not use another players stream to find out where they are or what they are doing without the specific streamers permission.

Do NOT spam on Side Chat

No voice on side chat as well as promoting other servers of any kind!

Ghosting

Using the multi server system with syncing to give you or your allies an advantage in any way.

With regard specifically to Cartels, if you, or your gang, is found logging in within 1 Kilometer to take or stop a attack, if sufficient evidence is present this will be bannable.

Helicopters

If your helicopter touches another helicopter and it is determined the incident was not a simple accident, then you are guilty of VDM regardless of the outcome of the incident.

Warning shots are allowed against helicopters that are attempting to land or hover near your position.

If the helicopter does not leave the area after multiple warning shots, you may attempt to disable the helicopter.

Car Accidents

If you get in a car accident with another car ( civ or cop) you would still need to initiate RP before you can shoot the people in the other car.

APD Matters

Refer to the APD Guidebook and the Internal Affairs Division for APD-related matters.

Regarding bounty hunters

It is not intended for you, your gang, or known associates to profit from your bounty as a bounty hunter.

Please note that if you break multiple rules, you may be punished for all infractions on our servers.



Gang tags

Wearing a gang tag for a gang in which you are not in will result in admin action. This is being implemented to reduce the confusion during initation, gang wars, etc. It should go without mentioning that this has the potential to negatively impact a gangs reputation if unauthorized users are representing a gang's tag.

Administrators do not the right to place bans for things that are not in the rules.

Any questions, please contact the Admin Team
