Spawn Rules

No killing / damaging others.
No kidnapping / mugging / stealing.
No building (The Mayor’s law board is an exception).
No Mic spam.


Respect to Others

Harassment of any kind (Sexual / Racial / Etc) is unacceptable and punishable. If you want to make small jokes between your friends, make sure it stays that way. Blatantly harassing a player right next to you is what we deem as unacceptable.
Do not constantly target players/staff. Ex: Constantly placing hits on a certain person, constantly mugging/kidnapping.
No disrespect.
DarkRP is all about fun. If you join the server to ruin other's fun and RP experience, we'll kindly ask you to stop and if not done so, you'll be punished.


Default Laws

If there is no Mayor present on the server, these laws will always be in place.

Killing or harming others is illegal unless it is a case of self-defense.
Money printers are illegal.
All weapons are legal on your own proberty, which includes gardens and inside your house/base.
Having guns out in public is legal, however you cannot shoot/use the gun without a gun license.
Raiding is illegal.
Selling, owning or creating drugs is considered illegal.
Kidnapping is illegal.
Bitmining is legal.


Respect to Staff

The Staff's word is final. If you are in a situation with players and admins about breaking rules, what the admin decides is the final decision.
Running away from an admin on duty when they need you (for example: they teleported you to a situation you are a part of) is seen as "evading situation" and is therefore punishable.
Don't discuss with admins, that includes calling higher staff because you don't trust the staff member in your current sit.
Do not spam the admin chat (@) with requests. Staff can often get busy and you may have to wait a short amount of time. Use @ and wait patiently, requesting help again every few minutes if you don’t get an answer.
If you have problems with staff, whether it is abuse, disrespect, or handling sits wrong, make a report on the forums stating what happened etc.
Do not interfere in a staff sit, this may lead to a punishment.
Lying to staff is strictly against the rules, and if proven so you may be punished severely.


The New Life Rule (NLR)

The new life rule states that upon death, everything specific to your last life is forgotten. You forget who killed you, where you were and why you died. You do not forget the location of your base, members of your party/base/gang and any interactions with others that didn't relate to your death.
If you died during a raid, you may not return to that location until the raid is over.
You may pass by locations you were killed in during NLR, but not interfere or hang around.
If you were killed accidentally, or killed yourself, NLR does not apply.
The New Life Rule lasts for 5 minutes after death. NLR doesn't apply if you died in a raid and the raid is finished under 5 minutes.

Names which make Staff not be able to target you (Use commands on you) such as hearts or squares or symbols are not allowed unless they contain a variation that makes them able to target you. Example, “♥” by itself is not okay. However, “Muffin ♥” is acceptable because staff can type “Muffin” to target this player.

NLR does not apply when it comes to scamming, such as promised prizes.
