Alternate accounts

Only 3 accounts are allowed online at any one time per person/IP. (See "Boosting" for specific details about allowed uses of alt accounts.)

Punishment: Perm. ban to extra accounts

Boosting

The only reasons you can use an alt is for 1. AFKing on an island & 2. To start a new "profile" or island. If it's 2., that account cannot interact with your main account or any other alternate accounts in any way, otherwise, both accounts will be wiped for boosting.

Punishment: All involved accounts wiped & banned

Griefing/Insiding

Griefing/Insiding is not moderated. Be careful who you invite to your island as they may get away with theft or destruction of your island.

Common sense

The rules are there as a rough guideline to keep players in line, use common sense to figure out if what you're doing is wrong. Bending the rules in any way is still punishable.

Punishment: Staff will punish as they see fit. Even if an offense is not listed in the rules you can and will still be punished.
