Rules

Please read the rules before deciding if you wish to join this server.  The server host believes these rules to be fair and give the server the atmosphere he is hoping to support.  If you have questions with the rules you can always contact the server host or see if an admin is available here.  Discord Chat Room

STARTING RULES


We wish this server to have an early medieval fantasy feel.  We ask that you respect the server host’s wish and act in an appropriate manner.

Character Names should be of fantasy medieval sounding origin, suggestions are Nordic, Anglo Saxon, or Germanic type names.  A first and last name is also preferred.  If asked to change your name by an admin, your choices are to create a new character or leave the server.  If your name requires symbols to bypass Xbox decency rules then it is not going to be allowed here

STARTER PACKS: There are none.  Those who entered this kingdom before you, started naked and afraid and built themselves up, you can do the same.  If you are too weak to survive this land without a starter pack then you don't need to be here.

GUNS: All guns have been removed, making the server timeline before firearms.  If  a gun is found please dispose of it.  Firing a gun will result in a permanent ban.

TROLLING will be dealt with as soon as an admin is available.  Trolls will not be tolerated and will receive a permanent ban.  We are all here to have fun, but if your only idea of fun is harassing others, stay off this server.

GAME VOICE CHAT:   The radio has been left in the game in hopes people will make them and use them instead of party chat.  All chat is considered to be IC unless you mark the comment as OOC when typing it out.

LEAVE OFFLINE PLAYERS ALONE.

RAIDING RULES


This is a PVP server, meaning that raiding is allowed within the raiding rules provided.

Raids must be conducted with a minimum loss to tames and structures and with an IC motive.  Raids must be announced before they can be started and at least 1 defending player must be present at the village being raided.

Killing creatures that have remained passive since the beginning of a raid is forbidden.

Tribe jumping will not be allowed, after a raid has begun nobody is allowed to drop out of any involved tribes until the raid is over.

Wiping a tribe and/or a tribe’s belongings is illegal and can lead to a complete offending tribe ban.  Wiping is considered to be an unnecessary loss to creatures and/or structures.  Destroying beds is considered a wiping action.  Attacking or looting a currently unoccupied village is also considered a wiping action.

Only plunder what they need from raids, no griefing.  If you don’t need it then leave it to help the raided players recover.

Characters killed in a raid are not allowed to return to the raid.  The raid is considered over once either side has lost all players.

After a raid is over only creatures that are still fighting may be killed by the victorious party.

TAMING RULES


Any creature that can not be ridden or does not require a saddle for riding can be tamed.

Any creature that requires a saddle and has the engram available can be tamed.

Any creature that requires a saddle but the engram has been removed is ILLEGAL to tame.

Wyverns are limited to one per tribe, once the server switches over to Ragnarok.

Griffons will be limited to one per player, once the server switches over to Ragnarok.

TRIBE RULES


You must make or join an existing tribe.  Tribal alliances are a key part of making this game work.  It allows you to build right beside friends.

Tribes are limited to 6 players.  This is to make interacting with other tribes more important.

Tribes must be registered on the discord server.  Tribes that are not registered are open to any attack and not under wipe protection.

Any changes to tribe status must be announced on the discord in the appropriate channel, where it can be time-stamped.

Tribes can have 1 main base plus 1 outpost per every 2 tribe members, rounded down.  This means a  2 or 3 man tribe can have 1 outpost, 4 or 5 can have 2 and a 6 man tribe can have 3 outposts.

Trades between tribes and players are at your own risk. If OOC rules are broken during a trade, provide proof to an admin and the issue will be taken care of.

Ragnarok is separated into distinct territories which are controlled by Jarls. Jarls can implement taxation in these regions, but it is not required. Some territories are uncontrolled and are considered ‘no man’s land’. These areas are open to TEMPORARY settlements (i.e. nomadic tribes or short term stays by settled tribes) and cannot be ruled or taxed.

BUILDING RULES


This is an RP server so we want to see villages in here, not raid forts.

Your village needs to have a name and signs denoting the village name

PLANT SPECIES: These are not allowed. If this becomes an issue then large crop plots will be removed.  Currently only the Cashew Tree requires a large crop plot.

Cave building is allowed, although you are not allowed to block resources or access to the rest of the cave.

Obelisks are off limits for building.  Any structures found on an obelisk will be immediately removed by the admins.

Resource blocking is not allowed, structures built to keep others from being able to harvest resources will be destroyed immediately.

Temprorary structures MUST be removed when done.  The admins will tear them down at a cost and tribe warning.

Wild rockcarrots and Savroots are not to be covered or enclosed.  These are for whoever wants to take them.

REMINDER


These rules are open to discussion but the server owner's decision is law.  Please bring up rules questions
