XBOX SERVER RULES

CHERNO • LIVONIA • SAKHAL

1. No killing and no raiding.
The only exceptions are: Someone is actively raiding your base, Someone is actively shooting at you or 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 and clearly shows the other person initiating before you respond. 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. This is a no-raid server, and logs show when boosting methods are used. Expect an autoban for these actions.

3. Do not claim abandoned bases without staff approval.
If you find a base you believe is abandoned, open a 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:
• Fence posts or partial fences
• Any stage of flag construction
• Locked or unlocked structures
• Partially built walls or fences

Taking anything 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.

6. PVE with light RP.
This is a PVE server with light roleplay such as businesses or friendly interactions. Do not intentionally harm or sicken players. Examples: feeding human meat, robbery, running someone over, crashing a car with someone inside to injure or knock them out.

7. No unsolicited DMs to other members.

8. Zero tolerance for hate or threats.
Racism, homophobia, hate speech, or threats of real-world violence are not allowed anywhere (Discord, in-game chat, party chat).
Do not discuss religion or politics.

9. Server wipes.
The server wipes approximately every 3 months for stability. If you are not okay with wipes, this may not be the server for you.
MJ seeds despawn on resets if unopened; open your packs.

10. Faction activity requirement.
Factions must maintain at least 3 active members (or 4 depending on the specific server standard). Inactive factions will be removed and their flag becomes available for others. If your team will be inactive for a period, inform staff and arrangements can be made. Do not wear another faction’s armband.

11. Vehicle limits.
No hoarding vehicles.
• One vehicle per three players
• Maximum four vehicles per faction or group

Vehicle wipes: Purchased cars: 1st of every month & Map cars: every 10 days (1st, 11th, 21st)

12. Account limits.
You may have one main account and one alt account. Extra accounts will result in a warning, followed by bans if continued.

13. Car spawn rules.
A car is not “claimed” until parts are installed and the vehicle is driven away. Standing at a spawn does not reserve it; it is first come, first serve until the car is built and moved.

14. Trip wires.
Do not place trip wires. The bot automatically bans for placing any type of trip wire regardless of attachments.

15. Discount abuse.
Staff and donators may not abuse discounts. Misuse will result in penalties.

16. Rule discretion.
Staff may adjust enforcement when players attempt to exploit loopholes or technicalities.

17. Base inactivity.
Bases inactive for 10 or more days may be demolished without warning. This prevents lag and frees space for active players.

18. Point's of Interest
Do not log out at points of interest. It is unfair to other players who travel there while you use logout positions to gain an advantage or cycle spawns.

19. Fireplaces and crop plots.
Do not place fireplaces or crop plots repeatedly in the same area. The bot auto bans for this due to boost-prevention systems.
Crop plots despawn within 5–10 minutes. If you want crops, open a ticket and staff can set up greenhouses at your base.

20. Livonia PvE/PvP rules
A) South of the river is strict PVE; killing or raiding there causes an autoban.

B) North of the river is full PvP/KoS.

C) You may only raid bases north of the river if your main base is also north of the river.

D) No building “unraidable” bases in PvP zones (such as watchtowers clipping doorways or inaccessible buildings).

E) No garden plotting, boosting, swimming, or entering bases unnaturally by any means (player stacking, vehicles, building towers).

F) No wearing another faction’s armband.

G) No exploiting or glitching in any form.

H) No claiming friend or faction member bounties (results in bounty loss and doubling).

I) No entering the Trader when closed; doing so results in autoban.

J) No base takeovers; 7-day base decay rule applies.

K) Maximum faction size is 20 members.

L) Having a stash in PvP areas does not permit raiding; your main base must be located there to raid.

M) Using applications like XIM or Cronus is banned.
