  • Staff reserves the right to add additional time depending on the circumstances.

  • Bans for the alt accounts will include the name of their "main" account.

This rules list cannot possibly hope to cover all instances of behavior that is detrimental to the servers or community, thus the admins reserve the right to warn, kick, or ban players deemed to be detrimental, as well as the right to form new rules when needed. Staff also reserve the right to reset player data as needed.
