Effective date: January 13, 2026
Welcome to WoA
We want WoA to be a friendly, fair, and fun community for everyone. These rules apply across the game server, the website, and our Discord. They complement the Terms of Use; breaking them can lead to moderation action up to and including a permanent ban.
1. General Conduct and Respect
- Treat everyone with respect. Disagreements are fine; personal attacks are not.
- No harassment, bullying, doxxing, or threats of any kind.
- No discrimination or hate speech based on race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, religion, nationality, disability, or any other characteristic.
- Keep conversations constructive. Drama-baiting and toxicity make the community worse for everyone.
- Respect other players' privacy. Do not share anyone's personal information without their permission.
2. Chat and Voice
- No hate speech, slurs, or offensive language.
- No NSFW, sexually explicit, or graphic-violence content.
- No spam, excessive caps, character flooding, or chain messages.
- No advertising or promotion of external servers, products, or services without staff permission.
- Keep conversations in the appropriate channels and on topic where applicable.
- Voice channels follow the same standards. No ear-rape, soundboards, or intentional disruption.
3. Fair Play
- No hacking, cheat clients, x-ray texture packs, or other cheats.
- No exploiting bugs or glitches. If you find one, report it to staff.
- No unauthorised modifications or macros that give an unfair advantage.
- Play fairly in PvP, wars, and competitive events. Teaming, match-fixing, or stat manipulation outside the rules is not allowed.
4. Building and World Use
- Use the available claim and protection systems to secure your builds, items, and land.
- Staff generally do not restore or investigate unprotected builds, items, or terrain. Use claims and protection systems to keep your property safe.
- Do not build offensive, hateful, or NSFW structures.
- Follow any zone-specific building rules set by staff.
5. Trading and Scamming
- No real-money trading (RMT) of in-game items, accounts, ranks, or currencies.
- No scamming or deceptive trading practices.
- In-game trades are at your own risk, but scamming will result in moderation action.
6. Names and Identity
- Usernames, guild names, faction names, and other visible identifiers must not be offensive, vulgar, or discriminatory.
- Do not impersonate other players, staff members, or public figures.
- Do not use names designed to be misleading or confusing.
7. Staff Interaction and Ban Evasion
- Follow staff instructions. Staff decisions are made to keep the community safe.
- Do not argue with or harass staff in public channels. Use the proper appeal process if you disagree with a decision.
- Ban evasion (using alternate accounts or other methods to bypass a ban or mute) is strictly prohibited and will result in additional penalties.
8. Enforcement
Staff may take any of the following actions at their discretion, depending on the severity and context of the violation:
- Warning — a formal notice about the behaviour.
- Mute — temporary loss of chat or voice privileges.
- Kick — removal from the server (you may rejoin).
- Temporary ban — a timed ban from the server and/or Site.
- Permanent ban — permanent removal from the community.
Severe violations (such as threats, illegal activity, or cheating) may skip straight to a temporary or permanent ban. Staff consider context, history, and severity when choosing an action.
9. Reporting and Appeals
- Report a player or issue: [[REPORT_CHANNEL]]
- Appeal a moderation decision: [[APPEALS_CHANNEL]]
Please include as much detail as possible (screenshots, usernames, timestamps) when reporting.
10. Changes to These Rules
We may update these rules at any time. Changes take effect when posted. Not knowing a rule is not an excuse for breaking it. Check back regularly.
Thank you for being part of WoA. Play fair, be kind, and have fun.
