PVP Rules
This is a PvP enabled server. To attack OR steal from other players, you have to follow these simple rules:
If you OR the other player are inside a NO-PVP area (such as temples), you must interact with the player you want to attack BEFORE leaving it, and you must wait at least 5 minutes before attacking after the interaction is complete.
Interacting is meant by RP OR via chat warning AND by setting that player as hostile. In this case, the countdown will start from the moment you have set that target as hostile.
If you AND the other player are inside a PVP-Enabled area, attacking is allowed at any time, but you still must interact with the player before attacking. Interacting is meant by RP OR via chat warning AND
by setting that player as hostile. In this case, you can attack right after the interaction is complete, and the player is set has hostile.
Do NOT attack players directly outside of a safe zone door (NON-PvP area), without respecting the rules above. Ignoring this rule will result in a severe punishment.
Do not attack anyone that is not in your PVP Range (You can select to set as hostile only those in your range by using the PVP tool from within your inventory).
Do not grief other players.
Do not resurrect other players without their consent first. Particularly when not using a Balm on the corpse to resurrection. See Death & Resurrection system for more info.
Do not log off immediately after Pick-pocketing. You must give the other player a reasonable amount of time to chase you. Check Pickpocket Rules for more details. Breaking this rule will result in a severe punishment.
If you have killed a player following the rules above, you can't PVP interact with him again for the next 12 hours, unless that players starts a PVP interaction with you before that time.
Logging out to prevent death is severely forbidden and will result in a very severe punishment.
How to set player/s as hostile:
The engine will prevent you from attacking or casting harmful spells against another player if you haven't set that player as hostile.
To set a player as hostile, you can either use the in-game players menu, or you can use the PVP Tool in your inventory (recommended).
Exceptions:
The PVP range restriction does not apply in situations where another player is acting rudely, stealing kills or loot from your dead corpses without asking to join your party, and in the case where the player joined an area where you were already hunting. You must be able to demonstrate this anyway, if asked to.
The PVP range restriction does not apply you both you and the target player are fighting in groups and both groups are entirely involved in the PVP interaction.
The PVP range restriction does not apply if you have been identified as a thief from several players (you have pick pocketed them), and they ask other players for help.
The PVP cooldown of 12 hours against a player you killed and to which you have engaged against does not apply if that player starts another PVP interaction by his will.
What is considered a PVP interaction:
Stealing loot from within or from outside of a party.
Stealing creature kills from outside of a party.
Insulting.
Pick Pocketing.
Attacking (melee, ranged, spells).
