Rules

Play in the spirit of the rules, not around them. Loopholing or deliberate targeting means an immediate ban.

Strike System

1st warning: logged on record. 2nd: any rule break counts, not just a repeat. 3rd: ban. Warnings are sent to you directly. Severe cases skip strikes (targeting, loopholing, VOIP abuse, toxicity) and mean an immediate ban.

General Rules

Fair play

1. No exploiting or bug abuse. 2. Don't kill safe-loggers, crashed players, or members of your own group. A crash ends the fight, so leave. 3. No griefing your own nest (killing nestmates, destroying it, eating eggs). Leaving and immediately returning to attack still counts.

Conduct

1. No toxicity anywhere (in-game, Discord, VOIP, chat). Severe cases mean an immediate ban. 2. No repeated targeting, including stream sniping and live-map hunting. 3. No location dropping, promoting, or advertising. 4. Don't pretend to be AI (including blue coloring), and don't place a bounty on yourself.

Limits

Stay within your species' group limit. Babies over 30% growth count toward it.

Social Packing

Social Packing isn't safe from anyone. Choose your spot carefully.

1. Max 4 Apex per pack (Rex, Trike, Deino), any mix. No cap for other species. 2. PvE only within the pack. A normal 2-dino or party encounter isn't Social Packing. 3. If attacked by an outsider, only the party attacked may retaliate. Everyone else moves away, since joining in is tag-teaming. 4. Fully leave the pack before engaging in PvP. Don't assume a returning member is friendly.

PvP Rules

Groups

1. No mix-packing, overpacking, or tag-teaming (calling in outside help mid-fight). 2. No adding players to your group mid-fight. 3. Babies over 30% growth count toward your group and can't be guarded during PvP.

During a fight

1. No third-partying. If you're attacked during an ongoing fight, you may defend yourself. 2. Keep a reasonable distance from fights that aren't yours. 3. No escaping through mechanics (retrieving, storing, safe-logging, entombing) or commands (!slay, !unstuck). 4. No PvP once a restart has been announced.

After a fight

1. No revenge killing. The person killed has a 20-minute cooldown on their killer. 2. No grace period. The third-party rule applies until the fight is fully over.

Third-party exceptions

Deinosuchus: exempt, but can't body-block drinking players or join a fight with another Deino. Herrerasaurus: exempt, but can't shield players from a Herra ambush. A fighting Herra can't be third-partied unless you're a Deino. Pteranodon: fully exempt, since engagement is nearly impossible to judge from the air.

Reports & Regrow

1. Only report situations you were directly involved in, within 24 hours of the incident. 2. VOIP toxicity and PvP reports need footage covering before, during, and after (F2 in-game, Medal for VOIP). 3. Rude or aggressive behaviour toward staff closes your ticket and may lead to further action. 4. Regrow: if your evidence supports your report, your Dino is restored to the growth and mutations it had when reported. Video proof is required. 5. Custom commands: if one killed your Dino, you may get a regrow with a recording of the command plus a written explanation matching the server logs.
