XBOX SERVER RULES

CHERNO • LIVONIA • SAKHAL

SERVER RULES

1. No killing and no raiding.

The only exceptions are:
• Someone is actively raiding your base
• Someone is actively shooting at you
• Someone is punching you or directly attacking you
You may defend yourself, but you must provide a clip that is at least 1 minute long clearly showing the other player initiating the interaction. A clip showing only you trading shots is not valid. Without proper proof, you will not be unbanned.

2. No glitching, exploiting, or cheating.

This includes but is not limited to duping, under-mapping, swimming under the map, boosting with fireplaces, car parts, tents, or any other object, as well as speed walking and sky walking. This is a no-raid server, and logs detect when boosting methods are used. Any of these actions may result in an autoban.

3. Do not claim abandoned bases without staff approval.

If you find a base you believe is abandoned, open a support ticket. If staff confirms it, you may claim it and will be paid. Items inside are returned to the loot economy and cannot be kept.

4. Faction flags and armbands.

Only registered factions may use any flag or armband color other than white. Wearing or flying another faction’s colors will result in a ban.

5. No raiding under any circumstances.

A base is a base regardless of condition. This includes but not subject to:
• Possibly Abounded
• Fence posts or partial fences
• Any stage of flag construction
• Locked or unlocked structures
• Partially built walls or fences

Taking items from someone else’s base or reaching through walls, windows, or gaps is considered raiding. If it is not your base, do not touch it.

An unsecured tent is considered a base. The Circus Canopy Tent is a designated community tent placed by the demo team. The first tent does not count toward base storage. Additional tents are not permitted. Community tents placed outside are free for loot, but the tent itself must not be removed.

6. PVE with light RP.

This is a PVE server with light roleplay such as businesses or friendly interactions. Do not intentionally harm, rob, or sicken other players.

7. Zero tolerance for hate or threats.

Racism, homophobia, hate speech, or threats of real-world violence are not permitted anywhere, including Discord & in-game chat. Do not discuss religion or politics. Profile pictures must comply. Any targeted harassment will be handled at ambassador discretion.

8. Server Wipes
Chernarus receives a full map wipe approximately every 3 months. Sakhal and Livonia receive full map wipes every 6 months. The shared server economy resets every 6 months, affecting all maps.

9. Faction requirements.
Factions must maintain a minimum of 3 active members and may not exceed 20 members. Factions are reviewed regularly, and inactive members may be removed. Inactive factions may be disbanded and their flag released. If a faction leader becomes inactive, the faction may be required to attend Fight Night, where leadership will be decided by last-man-standing.

10. Vehicle Rules and Limits.

A) Vehicle limits:
• 1–3 players = 1 vehicle
• 4–6 players = 2 vehicles
• 7–9 players = 3 vehicles
• 10+ players = 4 vehicles
• 1 truck per group/solo (does not count toward total vehicle limit)
No vehicle hoarding.

B) Vehicle wipes:
• Purchased vehicles wipe on the 1st of every month (all servers)
• Map-spawned vehicles wipe every 10 days (1st, 11th, 21st)
• 11th and 21st wipes apply to Chernarus only

C) Vehicle Ownership & Theft
If you didn’t take it from a designated vehicle spawn, assume it belongs to another player.

• Do NOT take, move, or remove parts from another player’s vehicle. This includes using someone’s vehicle as bait or intentionally sabotaging it.
• Vehicles may be temporarily unattended because the owner is looting, logged out, or searching for parts. Unattended does not mean abandoned.
• If you take a vehicle and the owner reports it missing within two server reset (4 hours) and staff can verify you took it, it will be considered vehicle theft.
• A vehicle may be reported as Possibly Abandoned through a H&S ticket. If it remains in a non-spawn/non-base location for 48+ hours, staff may determine it is abandoned and make it fair game.
• If the owner catches you actively stealing their vehicle or parts and kills you, staff will not punish the owner for defending their property.
• Removing parts, damaging, or tampering with vehicles simply to annoy or provoke another player is prohibited and may result in a 48-hour to indefinite ban.
• Using a vehicle intentionally as bait to lure players into a kill is prohibited. If staff determines this was intentional, you will be banned.

CLIP EVERYTHING
Vehicle disputes require evidence. The player with the strongest evidence and clearest account of what happened will generally prevail.

When in doubt, remember: IF IT’S NOT YOURS, DON’T TOUCH IT.

Additional rules:
• No vehicle replacements for lag or DayZ-related issues
• Gear lost on death will not be replaced
• Any approved replacements are issued as preset kits only
• All replacements are at staff discretion
• Vehicle Colour requests at traders are not allowed

11. Account limits.

One main account and one alt account per player. Additional accounts may result in warnings or bans.

12. Ban by association.

Only applies if the individual was actively present and directly involved. Players not online or inactive are not affected. All cases will be submitted to an ambassador with clear evidence from a non-involved party before action is taken.

13. Trip wires, crop plots, and boosting.

Trip wires are strictly prohibited and will result in an automatic ban. Crop plots are not permitted. (For farming setups, open a support ticket to request a greenhouse.) Repeated placement of fireplaces or crop plots may trigger autobans due to boost-prevention systems.

14. Discount abuse.

Staff and donators may not exploit discounts. Violations will result in penalties. Monthly free VIP vehicles may be sold at trader buy-back price.

15. Rule discretion.

Staff may adjust enforcement to prevent exploitation of loopholes.

16. Points of Interest (POIs).

Do not log out at POIs. This creates unfair advantages. Logging out at POIs may result in a ban.

17. Staff interaction and systems.

Please refrain from excessively tagging staff, particularly within tickets. Our team actively monitors all requests and will respond as promptly as possible based on availability and priority, so repeated tagging is not necessary. Tagging staff is only permitted if you have been given explicit permission to do so. If needed, you are more than welcome to tag staff in the appropriate general chat channels, provided it is done respectfully and not in excess.

18. Coastal Death & Gear Compensation.
