The Rusting Dead Rules
NO CHEATING/SCRIPTING
Do not use any third-party paid or free programs which provide an unfair advantage in-game. This includes scripts which can perform any action that is otherwise not possible to be performed ingame.
NO BAN EVADING
Do not do anything to bypass a ban on our server(s). Do not try to join with a different account if you were banned, sit it out. Any try to do so will result in additional bans.
NO EXPLOIT/GLITCH ABUSE
Do not try to use any unfair advantages which were not intentially possible within the game. This includes but is not limited to accessing unaccessible areas and creating graphic errors or using graphical adjustments.
NO HARASSMENT/ABUSE
Do not excessively insult other players via text chat or any other applicable communication channel. We want a friendly and comfortable place for everyone on our server(s). Not following this rule will result into temporary or permanent restrictions, in extreme cases bans.
