If you want assistance from administrators or wish to report a player for a violation of server rules, we need evidence. Video is the best. At times, screenshots can be acceptable.
If we believe a complaint lacking evidence appears credible and may hold merit, we will investigate through the logs. This will require an EXACT DATE and ESTIMATED time range of no greater than 30 minutes.
To determine your time difference to the server logs, so you can convert your time correctly, visit: https://www.thetimezoneconverter.com/ and select “Local Time” and “Eastern Time (ET)”.
Safe Area
There is a safe area on the map that serves as a player-to-player trading area. This area provides a secure environment for players to engage in trading activities. Players are allowed to behave as they wish. However, if harming a player for a specific purpose and to gain an advantage is allowed, harming the server’s community will not be tolerated.
Base Building
For more information → 👷 BASE BUILDING
It is your duty to secure your base against intruders. Claiming a territory will prevent non-members of the territory from building in the area. Ensure all potential entry points, including doors, gates, windows, and structural gaps, are fortified.
⚠️ It is forbidden to block the access to city streets, primary and secondary roads, wells, police stations, firefighter stations, military buildings, camp houses.
⚠️ A base can have a maximum of 3 vehicles and 15 code locks attached to doors/gates/hangers/hatches/window hatches (this does not include storage, lockers…).
⚠️ It is forbidden to build in a way that prevents raiding, this includes replacing doors and gates with walls, or having loot that cannot be accessed by intruders or would require ladders, climbing over other players…
⚠️ Bases must adhere to basic laws of physics; a balcony is permitted, but if present, foundations should be built to simulate the support of the structure. Floating bases will not be tolerated, clipping doors and gates, neither.
Raiding
For more information → 🧑🏭 RAIDING GUIDE
Raiding is permitted 24/7. But raiding mechanics (Firefighter Axe & Smash Master) and damages (Satchel) can be performed only during Easy Raid Time. Territories, flag poles and flags are invulnerable, they cannot be destroyed or stolen.
Cheating
- No Cheating or Unauthorized Programs. The use of cheating software, third-party programs, or any form of exploitation that provides an unfair advantage is strictly prohibited. This includes hacks, aimbots, wallhacks, speedhacks, or any other modifications that alter the game’s mechanics.
- No DDoS Attacks or Hacking Engaging in Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks or any form of hacking, including attempting to gain unauthorized access to the server or other players’ accounts, is strictly prohibited. Such actions disrupt the gameplay experience for others and will result in severe consequences.
Rules Violations
If a player witnesses or suspects any violations of the rules, they are encouraged to report the incident to the server administrators. To make a report, players can contact the administration team through the official Discord. Provide any necessary evidence or information to support the report, such as screenshots, videos, or relevant details, which will assist the administration in investigating the issue thoroughly. Prompt reporting helps ensure a fair and enjoyable gameplay experience for all players.
Respect
- PlayZ is synchronized with community ban lists in addition to our internal monitoring. It is the responsibility of each player to ensure they are not listed on any community ban lists; no exceptions will be granted. Any player found on a community ban list must address their standing with the respective community directly.
- All players are expected to adhere to the rules and guidelines set forth by the server administration. Failure to comply with these rules may result in disciplinary actions, including temporary or permanent bans from the server.
- The use of cheating software, third-party programs, or any form of exploitation that provides an unfair advantage leads to a permanent ban from PlayZ and report to community ban lists.
Fair play
All players are expected to engage in gameplay that is realistic. Unrealistic strategies that disrupt the game’s integrity are not allowed. If you’re unsure about an action, ask before proceeding. Any actions deemed as nonsensical can lead to sanctions. Players are reminded to use their judgment and respect the spirit of fair and immersive gameplay. This rule is subject to interpretation by the server administrator.
Compensation
Since loot restoration and compensation as a result of bugs or lost gear is such a sketchy and difficult task to fairly juggle, we will not be returning players’ gear or items they claim to have lost.
Stream Sniping
Streamers offer visibility and promote the server, stream sniping will not be tolerated under any circumstances. Logs will be checked carefully in case of stream hack suspicion. A confirmed stream hack will result in a permanent ban. No exceptions.
Ban Information
- If you have been temporarily banned from PlayZ, read the following carefully. Re-read this section as many times as necessary to ensure full understanding.
- Do not take your frustrations out on others. Do not be disrespectful to staff members. Do not jump to conclusions, and do not plead steadfast innocence right away. We do not want to ban people, and we dislike banning people. Banning people is a corrective measure to ensure our rules are understood and followed by everyone.
Respect The Staff
- Anyone who disrespects or starts an argument with any staff member for any reason will be removed from the Discord and could potentially be banned from PlayZ on the first offense, with no opportunities for future redemption.
- We reserve the right to remove anyone from our server at any time if we feel they are a detriment to the community or are severely impacting the experience of others.
