Rules

1.  No griefing new players.  New players are defined as players that have existed less than 7 days.

2.  No meshing.  This excludes structures that may go slightly into the mesh when base building but structures placed completely and intentionally into the mesh is strictly forbidden.  Other exclusions include mesh biting, Mek swords, and C4.  The general rule of thumb is that if it can be done from within legal playing boundaries, it's fair game.

3.  No hacking or abusing game bugs, glitches, or exploits.

4.  "Insiding" is forbidden.  This includes but is not limited to; leaving a tribe and taking items without tribe leader consent, disabling defenses to allow entry of another tribe, or causing destruction from within the base prior or after leaving the tribe.  The tribe leader has full ownership and can do with the tribe and its roster as they please.  It is your responsibility to ensure you are in a trustful tribe, and if you wish to leave a tribe and take items with you then you must get approval from the tribe leader first.

5.  Tribes are not permitted to "team" when it comes to PVP.  This includes attacking or defending Raid-FOBs and/or players/tames at Raid-FOBs.

6.  The max time a player can be held captive is 30 minutes unless you are actively involved in a raid, at which point it is increased to 1 hour.

7.  Combat Logging is regulated by ORP (info in Discord) except on server restarts, in which case ORP automatically enables regardless of PVP timers, therefore, NOT logging back in on server restart during a raid will result in an 24-Hour ORP Ban.

8.  Character Name, Tribe Name, and Tribe Roster (including Tribe Owner) must be the same across all maps.

9.  Characters and Tribes may not be named Human or 123.

10.  Characters and Tribes may only change their name with admin approval.

11.  Real-Money Trading (RMT) - ARK items, creatures, or services must only be exchanged for other items, creatures, or services within the game. Trading for real-world currency (real money) is not an accepted form of trading.  Doing so will result in having your tribe and its contents deleted in its entirety.

12.  Base locations must have at least one entrance that can fit a player in a crouched position or a swimming player for water bases.

13.  No long-term building on or near obelisks, ground level city terminals, map spawn points, wyvern scars/hives, Aberration surface/biome entrances, artifact spawns, or progression caves except sub-caves such as the ones listed in the "Alpha" base location list below.

14.  Temporary structures such as taming pens and Raid-FOBs may not be protected by ORP.  Doing so will result in the structure(s) being destroyed without warning.

15.  Excessive land claiming spam is not permitted and may not be placed beyond max render range (approximately 50 foundations) of any base location.  S+ Cliff Platforms are also banned for spam, as they do not follow the server settings for foundation or proximity range.

16.  Baseless claims or false accusations against administration in public channels will result in immediate timeout and/or banishment depending on severity.  If you have a problem or concern, message administration directly.

17.  Tribes are allowed a maximum of 3 "Alpha" base locations and 3 "Ratholes" across all maps.  Spots that are considered "Alpha" base locations are listed below:
