must
also

character.
It
must

foundations

With
the
general
regulation
we
want
to
achieve
that
not
unnecessary
building
spots
are
occupied,
if
they
are
not
used
accordingly.
If
you
do
not
intend
to
exploit
a
big
base
spot
anyway,
then
do
not
take
a
first.
Of
course
it
is
allowed
to
start
small,
but
if
after
4
weeks
at
the
latest
it
is
not
clear
that
this
is
a
mainbase, then we will warn such spots in the future and possibly even clear them.

Aberration,
Center,
Valguero

only
allowed
to
take
an
Outpost
or
raid
a
"Free
To
Loot"
base.
Otherwise,
no PVP is allowed on these maps. Any PVP action against this rule ends with a Perma Ban.

On the two maps

and
Extinction
is
only
allowed
in
relation
to
a
running
raid
and
only
against
the
currently
opposing
tribe.
Should
one
be
attacked
against
the
rule
nevertheless
one
may
defend
oneself
naturally.
Players
who
do
not
abide
by
the
rules
are
excluded
from
PVP.
(activ)
•
Outposts
are
part
of
an
active
PVP
meta
designed
to
give
players
an
attractive,
claimable
and
raidable
target.
These
outposts
may
not
be
actively
gifted
or
sold. If you want to get rid of one then dismantle your defense and leave it open.
(activ)
(activ after 18.11.2019)
•
The targeted hunting and killing of players who behave peacefully and the shooting or killing of Tames is not permitted.
•
We do not want bounty hunters, and no players who simply enjoy terrorizing others.
•
We do not want power and behavior like "This is my server!"
•
We also do not want you to make fun of the just killed players in the chat. Congratz you killed someone! Be proud in silence!
•
We want to see fair raid battles around bases or outposts WITHOUT Drama / Flame and stupid discussions!
->
Offline
raiding
is
not
forbidden
but
who
is
raiding
like
this
again
and
again
usually
makes
no
friends.
Offline
Raiders
are
nowhere
welcome.
This
is
just
a
hint
based
on
previous
community experiences we as admins will not value online or offline raids !!
•
Players
who
abuse
improper
behavior,
taunt,
make
fun
of
others,
or
who
can
not
tolerate
PVP
themselves
are
excluded
from
PVP
and
blocked
on
the
PVP
servers.
Unfortunately,
there
are
always
verbal
arguments
or
simply
unsporting
behavior
and
unnecessary
discussions,
which
causes
other
players
unnecessarily
lose
the
fun.
No
one
has
something
against
a
joke,
but
make
sure
its
a
joke
for
both
sides!
Some
may
not
feel
this
as
a
full
PVP
setting,
but
then
it
is
like
it
is.
Whoever
slaughters,
plunders
and
just
enrich
themselves
personally
without
regard
to
losses
and
wants
to
behave
like
a
Phiomia,
can
play on an official servers or on another server ... what ever ... the selection is big enough !!
§4.3. Admin Structures & Dinos:
•
Name of the admin tribe:
A.A.A or Tribe von Admin
•
Structures of the admin tribe may not be destroyed.
•
Dinos of the admin tribe may not be killed or abducted.
(*) = Was always like this but was again formulated in detail to rule out any misunderstanding as possible!
Violations
of
the
rules
are
severely
punished
without
any
discussion.
People
who
can
not
control
themselves
and
knowingly
revert to this set of rules are kicked / mocked without comment and permanently banned in severe cases.
Ignorance
does
not
protect
one
from
punishment.
We
have
gone
to
great
lengths
to
give
you
as
accurate
a
description
as
we
imagine
the
game on our servers. Please stick to it, then everyone has fun !!
