Rules

Play Fair.

Cheating is typically understood as employing unauthorized or unfair tactics to gain an edge over other players. This can involve using hacks or cheats to enhance performance in combat or resource collection, as well as exploiting glitches to access areas or resources that should not be reachable.

Avoid using any third-party programs, whether paid or free, that offer an unfair advantage in the game.

This also includes scripts that can execute actions that are otherwise impossible within the game.

According to the FacePunch Terms of Service:
v. Cheating: creating, using, distributing, or making available cheats, exploits, automation software, bots, hacks, spiders, spyware, scripts, trainers, extraction tools, mining, or any other software that interacts with or impacts the Facepunch Services in any manner. Mods are permitted as long as they comply with these rules, the Fan Content Guidelines (www.facepunch.com/legal/ugc/), and the Modding Guidelines (www.facepunch.com/legal/modding).

It is imperative that you do not try to bypass a ban on our servers by creating an alternate account. Engaging in such behavior will result in further bans. If you find yourself banned, please serve your designated time.

Any alternate accounts associated with Rust EAC Game Bans that are under 365 days old will also face bans from our servers.

Players who have a history of cheating may be banned at our discretion, regardless of how long ago their previous ban occurred.

You are entirely responsible for the security of your account and any bans that may be imposed on it. Remember, your account is intended for your personal use only; do not share it or log into another person's account, even if they grant you permission.

Players who have received bans from any game except Rust in the past 180 days are prohibited from accessing Royal Family Gaming.

Accounts that breach this policy will be automatically kicked, and appeals will not be considered under any circumstances.

You are fully accountable for the security of your account and any bans that may be imposed on it. Remember, your account is intended for your personal use only; do not share it or log into another person's account, even if they allow it.

Do not take advantage of unintended game mechanics for an unfair edge.

This includes, but is not limited to, accessing restricted areas, altering game objects to see or shoot through barriers not intended for interaction, and using graphical modifications outside the game’s standard settings.

Players must not use any automated programs, bots, scripts, extraction tools, mining software, or any other applications that interact with or impact the FacePunch Services.

Those found in violation will face immediate bans.

Actions that severely impact server performance will result in the immediate removal of the individuals responsible, which may include player bans.

Examples of these actions encompass, but are not limited to:

• Excessive crafting
• Large-scale despawning
• Overloading with entities
• Firework overuse

Please be aware that any items removed will not be compensated under any circumstances.

General:

Royal Family Gaming follows all FacePunch and Steam Terms of Service, especially regarding in-game communication. We enforce a strict zero-tolerance policy for infractions, which may lead to muting or bans.

Chat Rules:
Racism and homophobia are prohibited, with measures in place to identify and penalize such language. Circumventing these measures will result in escalating consequences, including potential bans. Spamming may lead to chat restrictions.

Doxing:
Sharing personal information will result in an immediate and permanent ban. Any non-game-related information revealed in-game is considered doxing. Even "fake" information shared as a joke will be treated seriously.

DDoS:
Threats of DDoS attacks are taken seriously and may lead to legal action. We will cooperate with U.S. law enforcement if necessary.

Real-Life Threats:
Context matters when assessing threats. Vulgar language is generally not a real threat, but intentions to locate someone outside the game or engage in harmful actions should be reported immediately.

Server & Admin Defamation:

Staff members are available to assist you. If you decide to be intentionally abusive towards them, expect to face moderation consequences. Impersonating staff to mislead players or damage the reputation of Royal Family Gaming can lead to moderation actions. Negative comments about Royal Family Gaming or its staff are unacceptable and may result in disciplinary measures. For any server-related complaints, please submit a support ticket.

Associating with players who cheat or evade bans, whether through friendships or regular communication, is viewed as supporting unfair practices in Royal Family Gaming. This behavior may be considered "cheating by association," implying awareness or complicity in dishonest actions.

Players found to have such connections could face consequences, ranging from warnings to bans, depending on their level of involvement. While we don't expect players to investigate every teammate, we enforce a strict zero-tolerance policy for cheating or ban evasion. Clear evidence of support for these actions will result in bans.

Choose your teammates wisely!

The rules provided are not exhaustive and serve as a general framework. We reserve the right to moderate our servers, stores, and Discord communities at our discretion, even in unmentioned cases. Our primary goal is to foster a positive gaming atmosphere on Royal Family Gaming servers, in accordance with FacePunch and Steam Terms of Service. Please check this space regularly for updates, as failure to comply may result in suspension or banning.
