Rules

Rules

Raptor is a competitive and integrity-driven server. Access is a privilege, not a right. By creating an account and playing, you agree to follow these rules. Sanctions may be applied without prior warning and escalate based on severity, frequency, recency, account history, linked accounts, and behaviour during appeals. If you are unsure whether something is allowed, do not do it.

Overview

Raptor prioritises fair competition, server integrity, and community safety. If you are unsure whether something is allowed, do not do it. Repeat offences escalate and may result in permanent removal. In severe cases, accounts may be deleted.

1. Automation & Unfair Advantage

You may use scripts, bots, automation, or third-party tools, but only within these limits.

Allowed:

• Cavebotting and automated hunting are permitted; however, only 1 character may be cavebotting or actively hunting at any given time. You may additionally have up to 2 characters fishing while your main character is hunting, or a maximum of 2 active characters outside Protection Zones (PZ) while 1 character is cavebotting.
• Auto-targeting, target locking, or auto-casting.
• Automated movement / scripted pathing.
• AFK farming using automation.
• Key jamming or holding keys down for automated gameplay.
• Allowing other players to control your character via scripts.
• Using AOE weapons while AFK outside designated fishing areas, only when you obey the rule of 1 character hunting and the other fishing.

Not allowed:

• Trapping players while not engaging in PvP so they cannot move.
• Using bots to interact with world items (e.g. digging/cutting) while AFK.

Staff checks: Failure to respond to a staff check within 60 seconds may result in sanctions. We will only check if you do not break any rules.

Potential outcomes: Jail or warning for minor breaches; 7-day ban; 30-day ban for serious automation / cavebotting; cavebotting may automatically include experience deduction from the first ban (starting at approximately -5% of player level, increasing for further offences); increased ban duration and level/experience loss for repeat offences; trapping players may result in jail, with persistent behaviour leading to a 1-day ban or stronger action; account deletion for persistent or severe abuse.

2. Multi-Client & IP Restrictions

To maintain fairness, character limits apply outside Protection Zones (PZ).

Allowed:

• Up to 2 active characters outside PZ and 1 designated fishing character per person.
• Additional characters must remain in PZ and may not provide advantage to any character, including your own or other players.

Not allowed:

• Using extra characters to heal, block entry, hold positions, scout, or otherwise support characters outside PZ.
• Using VPN/VPS/Cloud services to gain advantage or evade enforcement unless approved.
• Ban evasion via alternate accounts.

Shared IP fishing: Allowed only under approved conditions. Staff may temporarily temple characters pending checks.

Potential outcomes: Jail (first offence); 7-day ban (repeat); IP ban (serious abuse); escalation for coordinated farming networks.

3. Hacking, Exploits & Theft

You may not hack, steal accounts, scam players, abuse exploits, duplicate items, or manipulate the economy.

Potential outcomes: 3-day ban (minor exploit abuse); 30-day ban (scamming, if items are returned); account deletion (hacking, duping, severe or repeated abuse).

4. Real-World Trading & Advertising

Real-world trading (RWT) and advertising are restricted.

Not allowed:

• Attempting to arrange real-money trades (attempts may be punished as completed trades).
• Advertising or recruiting for other servers.

Allowed:

• Buying or selling items, characters, or accounts for real-world currency. Beware of scammers at your own risk.
• If you lost an account, we may be able to restore it for a fee.

Potential outcomes: 7-14 day IP ban; asset removal; account deletion; escalation for organised activity.

5. Account Integrity

Account integrity rules exist to protect players and prevent abuse.

Not allowed:

• Impersonating staff.
• Sharing staff accounts.

You are responsible for activity originating from your account and associated IP address.

Potential outcomes: Warning (minor / non-malicious impersonation); 3-30 day ban; immediate removal of staff rights (staff account sharing); account deletion (account trading, severe impersonation, repeated abuse).

6. Communication & Conduct

Applies to all in-game channels (including private messages), broadcasts, and official Raptor Discord channels.

Not allowed:

• Discrimination, hate speech, or derogatory remarks relating to race, colour, nationality, ethnic background, sexual orientation, gender, body type, or body parts.
• Harassing players or staff excessively over non game-related matters.
• Racial slurs, discriminatory insinuations, derogatory comparisons, or targeted abusive language.
• Posting NSFW content or links to NSFW content.
• Posting illegal content.
• Sharing real-life personal information (doxxing).
• Making threats of harm or intimidation.
• Publicly complaining about staff or server issues instead of using official support systems.

All complaints, staff reports, and appeals should be submitted through the official Discord support ticket system where available.

Potential outcomes: Squelch (in-game) or mute (Discord); notation for minor offences; 1-day banishment for discrimination offences without warning; 3-day banishment for repeated discrimination or harassment; up to 30-day banishment depending on severity and repetition; 30-day IP banishment for doxxing; 90-day IP banishment for threats of harm; account deletion for repeat severe abuse, threats, discrimination, or doxxing.

7. Staff Harassment & Abetting

Harassing or threatening staff members is strictly forbidden and may result in immediate escalation, ban extensions, or stronger sanctions. Public accusations against staff may result in squelching, jailing, or a ban if persistent. Players should feel confident reporting staff concerns, but these reports must be made through the support tickets available on Discord. Abetting, encouraging, assisting, or enabling another player to break rules may result in equal punishment to the primary offender.

8. Repeat Offender Risk Index (RORI)

Raptor uses a behavioural review system called the Repeat Offender Risk Index (RORI), which considers:

• Number of past offences
• How recent offences were
• Severity of offences
• Linked accounts / ban evasion indicators
• Behaviour during appeals (e.g. abuse, harassment)

High RORI scores lead to faster escalation and longer sanctions. Repeated violations increase the likelihood of permanent outcomes.

9. Enforcement Authority

Sanctions may be issued without warning. Banishment duration may increase for repeat offences, pattern behaviour, linked account abuse, or misconduct during appeals. God retains final authority over all enforcement decisions.

Shop & Purchase Policies: Please refer to the Shop page and sections 10 to 12 below for up-to-date purchase policy information.

10. Purchases, Donations & Virtual Goods

• All in-game content, including but not limited to Raptor Coins, items, characters, levels, skills, and accounts, is a revocable license to access game data. It is not your property, not real currency, and has no monetary value outside the game.
• Purchases of Raptor Coins and any other virtual goods are sales of a limited, revocable license to access game content. All purchases are final and non-refundable. Coins and items are delivered to your account automatically and are considered fully delivered once credited.
• We may modify, remove, reset, wipe, or revoke any virtual content, pricing, or feature at any time without notice and without compensation.
• Buyers must be at least 18 years of age, or have the explicit permission of a parent or legal guardian, to make any purchase. You are responsible for any payment made through your account or payment method.
• Initiating a chargeback, payment reversal, or dispute instead of using our support process will result in immediate and permanent termination of all associated accounts and forfeiture of all associated content, and may result in an IP ban. Payment-provider rules apply in addition to these terms.
• Player-to-player real-money trades are conducted entirely at your own risk. We are not a party to such trades, do not guarantee them, and are not liable for any loss, scam, or dispute arising from them.

11. Liability, Service Availability & Data

• The server and all related services are provided strictly on an as-is and as-available basis, without warranties of any kind, express or implied, to the fullest extent permitted by law.
• We do not guarantee uptime, availability, performance, data retention, or the continued existence of the server. The server may experience downtime, bugs, rollbacks, data loss, account loss, wipes, resets, or permanent shutdown at any time, with no obligation to provide notice, refund, or compensation.
• To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss of data, content, time, virtual goods, or enjoyment, arising from your use of or inability to use the server.
• To the fullest extent permitted by law, our total aggregate liability to you for any claim arising from these terms or your use of the server shall not exceed the total amount you paid to us, if any, in the ninety (90) days preceding the event giving rise to the claim.
• Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law, including liability for fraud, gross negligence, or willful misconduct.
• You agree to indemnify and hold harmless the server, its operators, and its staff from any claims, damages, or costs arising from your conduct, your breach of these terms, or your trades or interactions with other players.

12. Eligibility, Governing Terms & Agreement

• By creating an account, you confirm that you are at least 18 years of age, or have the consent of a parent or legal guardian to use this service.
• These terms, together with the in-game and website rules, constitute the full agreement between you and the server regarding your use of it. They may be changed at any time, with changes announced on the official website. Continued use after a change constitutes acceptance.
• If any provision of these terms is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in full force and effect.
• Any disputes shall be governed by the laws of the jurisdiction in which the operator resides, and resolved first through the official support process before any other action.

These rules may be changed at any time. All changes will be announced on the official website.
