General Community Rules

1. Respect All Members
   • Treat others with respect, both in character (IC) and out of character (OOC). Discriminatory language, harassment, or disrespectful behavior will not be tolerated.
2. R-Rated Community
   • DZXRP is an R-rated community, open only to participants aged 18 and over. All members are expected to uphold this age restriction and behave appropriately within an adult community.
3. No Meta-Gaming or Power-Gaming
   • Meta-Gaming: Don’t use out-of-character knowledge to influence in-character actions.
   • Power-Gaming: Avoid forcing outcomes or actions on other players without their consent.

Roleplay Conduct

1. Stay In-Character (IC)
   • Interactions on the server should align with your character’s personality, backstory, and motivations. Minimize OOC comments in roleplay channels.
2. Avoid Unrealistic Actions
   • Keep actions and scenarios believable within the setting of DZXRP. Characters should be balanced, with realistic strengths and weaknesses.
3. Character Deaths
   • Permanent deaths, while optional, may be enforced if characters reach a certain point in their storyline or in extreme situations. Always discuss high-stakes scenarios with involved players OOC to ensure everyone is comfortable with potential outcomes.

In-Game Rules

1. Kill on Sight (KoS) and Combat Rules
   • KoS is restricted: Engaging other players in combat should generally follow a roleplay initiation or conflict escalation.
   • Combat Etiquette: Give players a chance to respond to hostile actions and avoid spawn-killing.
2. Base Raiding and Offline Raiding
   • Respect other players’ bases and belongings. Avoid raiding bases while their owners are offline, as this disrupts the roleplay experience.
   • Follow community guidelines on how to approach and conduct raids to maintain fairness.
3. Looting Rules
   • Take only what you need and leave enough supplies for others. Excessive hoarding disrupts gameplay and can affect the experience of other players.
