Server rules

These apply on TLOR Hardcore on top of the community rules.

  1. 1Respect other players.
  2. 2No harassment, racism or hate speech of any kind.
  3. 3No pornography, or violent or disturbing links, pictures or videos.
  4. 4Walling off monuments is not allowed.
  5. 5If you wipe your blueprints, that can’t be undone.
  6. 6Twig can be destroyed, as long as the base owner isn’t actively building their base.
  7. 7All players must log in to the server within 72 hours, otherwise their base becomes raidable.
  8. 8Trespass at your own risk. Traps can kill you.
  9. 9Spamming TCs is not allowed. They will be removed and the resources will not be refunded.
  10. 10If a TC isn’t built on within 24 hours, it will be removed.
  11. 11Steal at your own risk. If you’re caught and there’s proof, you may be banned.
  12. 12Lock your TC, boxes, vehicles and so on. Place shotgun traps, as they can kill those who trespass.
  13. 13All shotgun traps and flame traps must be fully enclosed by walls or inside your base, as they can damage other players.
  14. 14Please keep base and farm sizes reasonable so others can enjoy the server.
  15. 15Any raid base built before the last 48 hours of the wipe will be deleted without refund.
  16. 16Loot reimbursement: admins can’t restore loot lost to normal in-game deaths. That includes starvation, freezing, overstaying on the cargo ship, zombies and similar in-game hazards. Loot requests are only considered if a map or plugin bug was the cause, meaning something genuinely outside your control.
  17. 17No whining. This is a hardcore server!
