#1 Respectful to staff and to fellow players. No use of fowl language, racial slurs,discrimination of any-kind will be tolerated. No advertisement of drugs, porn or inappropriate materials on the server if you do you will get banned immediately! No arguing with GMs or help staff will be tolerated. If you have an issue with a GM or Support Staff you bring it before the High GM.
#2 There is no ingame coin purchases. Players are encouraged to sell to the city trader at the meadows spawn point and amongst each other. Use the foraging features. Bounties for hunting and killing mobs. There is no upkeep and deeds are free! So saving coin should be easy.
#3 (A) Server Drama will not be tolerated. Any issues that cannot be resolved between players shall be taken up with the High GM and the server court and yes we actually have a court with the High GM as Judge,Jury and Executioner all in one. Server is exclusively owned by Alscapia and thus decisions made by Alscapia is final. The court not a place you wanna be especially if you don't work within the realm of common sense.
#3 (B) Sever Griefing, trolling will not be tolerated. A Warning or including and up to a perma ban can be issued for this violation.
#3 (C) No exploits, attempts at fraud will be tolerated. Violation for this rule will lead to a perma ban. Because items are sold between players for ingame currency- This means NO MACROEING. We catch you, your gone!
#3 (D) No betting and no gambling allowed. Violation of this rule will lead to a perma ban.
#4 First come first serve policy. Every token has an established date as to when a settlement is founded. If you choose to settle next to someone else without asking permissions first and problems arise and conflict occurs then the GMs if decided in court may move you by force with or without compensation. So be sure to ask before founding a settlement next to someone else this includes squatters.
You are limited to a 40x40 deed. The server is large right now and not with to many players so going beyond 40x40 is permissible however if someone deeds next to you, you must allow them ample space.
HIGH GM PROMISE & DISCLAIMER
I promise to be a fair GM. Impartial to any complaint-Meaning i don't take sides.I don't care if you donated $500 in ingame donations to the server for the support or $0. Im fair and Impartial. I rule based on common sense. I strive to make the server fun for everyone. As we grow in numbers and new people come into our little server we will have issues from time to time pop up. I am far from perfect but i will strive to have perfection and above all else be fair in my decision making.
On issues involving the whole server and all players ill do my best to bring changes before you the player base to a fair and honest vote before making such changes. For each and everyone you are valuable and should have a say which sets our server far apart from others. Know that what you contribute to the server is considered a donation and is not refundable. We plan to keep this server up and going for as long as we can and have support to. However what code club does and what steam does and out side the scope of reality is a different story so as long as both those two are up and running so shall we be.
Above all else i want each and every member to have fun.So there for i have come up with some new player tips to avoid many the problems that come to surface on some servers and even the wurm online game itself.
BOAT AND HORSE CLAIMS
A boat thats setting is set to everyone for use is just that. So be sure to check your boat settings.
Horses; From time to time horses may become lost or have wandered off. A named horse thats claimed and is posted up on our forum page under lost horses and boats is a claimed horse. So if your harboring a horse that belongs to someone else- RETURN IT! To avoid conflicts and issues bran your horses and live stock.
DEED PERIMETERS
In Alscapia as far as i know and only on Alscapia. The perimeter is yours up to 20 tiles if set by you the deed owner. Do not expand perimeters past 20 tiles because you have no legal claim on them past that tile limit. A perimeter fenced or unfenced up to 20 tiles surrounding a deed is GM protected. That means the land owner owns everything within that zone and is considered on hold. Do not chop, dig, harvest or pillage/kill livestock or poach the perimeter of private property. If no hunting is allowed its the deed owner responsibility to put up a sign somewhere on the perimeter that no hunting is allowed. GMs will enforce this rule. You take the time to maintain the land its your land and its your right to have it protected. Griefing of any kind will not be tolerated,
Same token using perimeters as a method of in-game war fair will not be tolerated so land owners watch how you proceed with perimeter advances.
Example: If you allow a neighbor to live next to you, Squatter, Legal Enclosure or deed and then later have a dispute with that neighbor and start to expand your influence to drive that neighbor out, UH NO I DON'T THINK SO! If you do that you might lose your pretty little farm to the neighbor you are in dispute with. So abide by the rule and the law in the game. Do not use perimeters as a form of in-game war fair. This is a PVE server not PVP server. You wanna play PVP go to one of our PVP zones or wait for our PVP server to open up or find another server that has PVP because Alscapia not the place.
FINDERS KEEPERS/ SCAVENGERS
Hey if you don't have a lock on it or have protected your property then its no one fault but your own. Need to log on once every 30 days or your deed will fall. This also is no one fault but your own if you fail to do this.
FALLEN DEEDS
We ask but we do not enforce. We ask that players respect the fact that sometimes due to circumstances deeds may fall and that players allow the deed a 5 day grace period before you pillage or raid the fallen deed. After all if it was you and you had an issue that came up and your hard work disbanded you would hope it went unscathed during that short time.
TIPS
New to the game, here some tips to help you out.
#1 Put your coin in a bank immediately as soon as you start so you don't lose the coin. GMs are not going to give you a 2nd chance with a lost body and lost coin. Just not going to happen. So put your coin in a bank. Set up an account by going to the nearest settlement token and establish an account. Every spawn point has a token. You can always move your bank account later. DO NOT GO EXPLORING AROUND WITH COIN IN YOUR BACKPACK, thats not smart and thats not using commonsense.
#2 Ask before you settle next to someone. Most cases the server has plenty of empty wide open room to settle but sometimes being right close to others is not always the best thing. So be sure to ask before you settle next to someone. See if they are ok with having neighbors. See if they plan to expand there deed. Find out what resources are in the area and if they are willing to share. This will avoid alot of unwanted drama and trouble. Good Neighbors make a pleasant game experience for all involved. One bad neighbor can just ruin the game enjoyment for all involved. No one likes drama. If you have an issue with a player try and calmly resolve the issue and refrain from cursing and name calling. Act like adults. Use common sense.
#3 Stay close to your spawn point if your a new player. Don't wonder off to far if you don't know your surroundings. Don't be afraid to ask questions in GL Freedom and Freedom.
#4 Ask before you take. Don't go up to someone perimeter and start harvesting there crops. Thats thieving and uh you will get warned over that. It's a form of griefing. Same with clear cutting someone trees or killing there animals on there perimeter.So just be kind do on to others as you have done on to you. Above all else ask if your unsure. Asking is key to avoiding most issues.
#5 If you cant get along with someone then use the /ignore feature ingame to ignore the player causing you issues or drama. If a player is on and being annoying or trolling use the /snipe feature. Enough snipes the system will automatically issue a mute to that player for 30 minutes. If a player promoting bad behavior or useing fowl language then please send me a copy of the text on messenger on face book and ill deal with that individual.
If the server is down for any reason please send a message on face book we will get it and we will respond.
If your stuck and can't get unstuck use the /lotime feature and wait to log out for 5 min then log and re log in. If your still stuck send a support ticket by typing /support. State the issue and the next available time in which you will be online ingame.
#6 Use the CA chat room for help questions. Most players playing on Alscapia are knowledgable and can help. If a player not on to help then use the /help feature or press "h" to bring up the wiki help menu.
Check out our forum for additional rules and help and register if your a new player as we will update these rules from time to time there.
