SERVER RULES ETC(Updated 12/02/16):
NO Box Quetzels. All Platform enabled saddles must be built as to where sentry guns will damage the dino from all angles. Riders must also be pickable, no 'cockpits' on platform saddles. (Raft enclosures are allowed)

C4 Disabled to prevent dino 'strapping' (pterabombs). Currently IED's are still Enabled but this does NOT make it ok to circumvent the reason for the C4 removal by using IEDs instead.

NO Build Blocking! (Means keep your foundations to buildings you are using. No placing pillars etc. all over the map to prevent people from building or blocking resources.

Caves are free to build in. (x6 dmg multiplier in effect [equates to x3 with the servers modifier]).

NO Supply Drop Blocking. This includes caves with drops, meaning all drops must remain spawnable/lootable.

MAX 6 Players per tribe. May increase when average playerbase and increased slots allow.

MAX of 3 Gigas and 4 Brontos per tribe.

NO Field Harvesting with Brontos/Extra Large Dinos. This tends to cause lag on high rate servers and must be prevented. Steggos and even Trikes can harvest a great amount on this server.

POST Server Wipe Immunity: During the first 48 Hours (2 Days, Lifted at 12:00 Noon CST) after a server wipe has occured there is to be No Base Raiding! Example going from the date wiped in the server name 12/02 means raiding would be permitted on December 4th. This is to allow people the chance to build up without being 'wiped' a second time immediately after the server clears.
Open world PvP that does not involve attacking a players base is still allowed during this time.

**UPDATED:RULES OF WAR**
OFFLINE RAIDING: NO RANDOM TARGETS - SCOUT YOUR ENEMY FIRST
Due to the frequency of offline raiding and the adverse effects it has on a server, the rules are now as follows:
Intentional offline raiding/base attacking will not be allowed UNLESS two tribes began active PvP while Online at a BASE belonging to either tribe. This means that a battle, base assault or raid may CONTINUE after an involved tribe has gone offline as long as there was a battle no more than TWENTY-FOUR (24) Hours prior to the raid/continuance and must have originally involved at least TWO (2) members of the offline tribe in question. This is classified as under siege or at war. Since solo players by definition can not have two members of the tribe involved in a battle they are to be granted immunity from the 24 hour seige/war status up to level >75< unless they initiated the assault at a base, all other rules apply.

**Offline Raid Protection (ORP2) is currently enabled.
Rules of War still apply during the delayed activation interval.

GRIEFING IS NOT WAR. There will be zero tolerance for griefers/oppressors. Follow the rules. I check the logs multiple times every day, including from global chat.
Repeatedly attacking a Tribe/Player without commiting to a full assault, or successfully raiding a tribe and then repeatedly attacking in a manner that prevents them from rebuilding and progressing within the game will not be tolerated. Ignorance is not an excuse and common sense with these rules should be applied. Players/Tribes that are deemed as 'griefers' by this servers community are subject to a permanent ban. A good rule of thumb to be safe from falling into this classification is give recently raided tribes 48 hours to recover and rebuild. This applies only to main bases (where your ORP obelisk is installed).
(As suggested by one of our players [ty Chenzo!], putting up a white flag outside your base with the date you were raided (ie: 11/25) will help players to know when you were raided and that you are categorically immune at the time.)

Raiding and repeatedly assaulting newer players to the server (those that are far below your tribes current tech level) is also griefing and will result in a ban. Unless the lower tech tribe is the aggressor (I will check logs against all accusations) then pick targets that require some skill.

TAKING PRISONERS IS ALLOWED for a MAXIMUM of 60 minutes, starting the moment your victim is unconscious/restrained/prevented from continuing normal gameplay. Abuse of this system may find you in a cage yourself. ;)



CONCERNING ADMINS: Admin abuse will not be tolerated. The privileges granted are to be used solely for maintaining the server and its integrity. Players that have been granted Admin status may never spawn in items, dinos or resources for any purpose other than to be used in service of RIV4LS sponsored events (Events will always be posted in advance on the Official Community Group Forum). No Admin should ever log into Admin rights outside of these instances. All Admin commands are logged into Global Chat for all to see at all times, so these rules will be enforced by its Admins AND its community of players.

These rules are to prevent any form of abuse, mistrust or misuse of power over other players within the game. Admin Base on TheCenter map is located at 9,74 and is used for testing and event preparations ONLY. Spawn-in commands will be limited for use to the Admin Tribe and Admins that are not actively working on a sanctioned server Event will be removed from the Admin Tribe. No player in the Admin tribe will be allowed to PvP (attack or be attacked) by the general server populace except when in an active ongoing PvP Event (verifiable by pre-event notice given on this forum). Any Admin found to be in violation of these rules will have all privileges immediately revoked, with the possibility of a server ban depending upon severity of infracture.

THE ONE EXCEPTION: Global Admin Hosted Events! These Events will be broadcast to the server and its community group forums with due notice prior to the Event taking place. All Admin commands will still be logged into Global Chat during any setup. Participants will all be privy to the Event, its contents and conclusions prior to its setup/start. These Events may include special prizes/rewards for the winning participants, within limitations to avoid imbalancing of the server.

All Admin gameplay outside of sanctioned Events will be done without the use of the powers granted by Admin status and all items/dinos/resources must be earned by their own hard work, as it is only fair that our hours are no more important within the game than yours. No Unfair advantages shall ever be granted for being an Admin at any time.

Just reopened the server up today so population is still growing, takes population to get population so hop on and see if you like the server, if you do stick around and help it grow :)

I am expecting the majority to begin playing over the weekend, many I know personally from previous iterations of the server and from officials. Still advertising to get the word out that we are back online. ~160 members in this steam group community, old and new. Population wont be any sort of issue.
