Server Rules
We want the servers to be as close to official as possible. However as we are a community we expect the following of our players:
- You MUST respect other players. They are humans after all.
- We DO NOT tolerate racist, sexist, homophobic slurs nor do we accept trolling.
- You MUST NOT log out when engaged in combat.
- DO NOT use game bugs/glitches/cheats to gain an advantage in any situation
- You MUST NOT meta game, stream snipe or stalk
- DO NOT make it personal. Keep it in the game.
Common Mods
All servers have the following mods. We try to keep all servers consistent so you can easily jump between one and the other without fundamental difference in gameplay. We also try not to go to far from vanilla game play. We like to call it vanilla+... We are never going to enable traders, etc.
