Server Rules and Punishments
Having observed that most of the players never learned their lesson with the punishment system, we made them heavier. So be aware that whatever violation you commit will result to a certain punishment based on the list below.
Be aware, if you are a player with a high amount of playing hours you may be punished more severely. Higher level players should be more than aware of the rules and be capable of following them.
- Heavy Offense - Medium Offense - Light Offense
- Progression of punishment if player continues rule-breaking.
- NOTE: You are not counted as a newbie if you have 50 playing hours which is equal to level 4
