In our immersive roleplaying environment, we strictly prohibit any form of harassment directed towards other players, whether of a sexual nature or otherwise. This includes repeated aggressive behavior or any actions that border on intimidation on an out-of-character (OOC) level. While roleplay (RP) conflicts and in-character (IC) consequences are allowed, if you believe you are facing harassment despite meaningful IC resolutions, open a ticket for staff assistance and mediation.

Note: Opening a ticket with malicious intent towards another party, without any rule breaks found, may be considered a notable offense at staff discretion.

RP Bleed:

RP Bleed refers to the transference of issues, disagreements, or problems from the in-game RP setting to the real-world setting, or vice versa. We encourage separating IC interactions from OOC relationships, as we aim to foster a healthy and safe community. Personal disagreements between players are not subject to staff mediation unless they violate our community guidelines.
