Rules

Bases & Building

• Do not build in or directly against someone else's base without the owner's permission.
• Do not block entrances, fast-travel points, resource paths or dungeon access with structures.
• Nothing is taken from other players' chests unless the owner has explicitly allowed it.
• Intentionally damaging, trapping or sabotaging other players' bases is forbidden.
• Please coordinate large "public" building projects with the team before building up a lot of area near spawn.

Griefing, Theft & Exploits

No intentional disruption of other players through griefing, theft, base blocking, harassment, or exploiting bugs/exploits. If you find a bug, report it to the team instead of exploiting it - PalDefender runs as anti-cheat protection, attempts to bypass it will be penalized.

Chat & Conduct

• No harassment, hate speech, threats or targeted bullying.
• No spam, no advertising for other servers/Discords, no deliberately stirring up drama in chat.
• Please do not settle disputes in global chat - when in doubt, contact the team via a support ticket.
• While the team is actively resolving an incident, please follow the instructions of admins/moderators.

PvP & Player Damage

PvP, friendly fire and player-vs-player damage are currently disabled on this server. Direct combat conflicts between players are therefore technically ruled out - the rules on griefing/bases still apply in full regardless.

Wipes & Updates

A full world wipe is not routinely planned and would only happen in exceptional cases (e.g. severe save corruption) and after advance announcement. Updates/restarts for patches or maintenance are announced in chat/Discord beforehand whenever possible.

Enforcement

• Depending on the severity of the violation: warning, kick, temporary or permanent ban.
• Admin privileges (kick/ban/broadcast) are used exclusively for moderation, never for in-game advantage.
• Larger penalties come with a reason and can be appealed via the ban appeal page.
