Rules & Enforcement

Section 01

Community & Competitive Integrity

Apex PvP is built around fair, competitive gameplay. By playing on the server, you agree to follow every rule below.

1.1

Treat other players with respect. Competitive trash talk is allowed.
Harassment, hate speech, threats, discrimination, and targeted personal attacks are prohibited.

1.2

Self-promotion and advertising other Discord servers, game servers, websites, social media pages, products, or services require staff approval.

1.3

Cheats, hacks, scripts, macros, modified clients, unauthorized third-party software, duplication methods, bug abuse, and other unfair advantages are prohibited.
Serious exploits must be reported privately through a support ticket.

1.4

Separate guilds may not coordinate to attack, raid, defend, or overwhelm another guild.
Temporary alliances or other arrangements intended to bypass guild limits are prohibited.

Section 02

2.1

Players may not initiate PvP against or raid players more than 10 levels below them unless the lower-level player attacks first.
Level protection does not apply in Sakurajima, Feybreak, Sunreach, World Tree, or Wildlife Sanctuaries. These are unrestricted PvP zones.

2.2

Players may not escape active PvP or a raid by disconnecting, force-closing the game, using Emergency Respawn, or abusing another game mechanic.
Emergency Respawn may only be used to recover from legitimate bugs or situations where a character is genuinely stuck.

2.3

Building at the Hill of Beginnings is prohibited. Any Palbox or structure placed there may be removed without warning.
Players may not block effigies, ancient ruins, progression locations, or other important points of interest.

2.4

Bases may not be built inside terrain, inside the map mesh, completely underwater, inside unintended geometry, or in locations that cannot reasonably be accessed through normal gameplay.
Illegal bases may be deleted without warning.

Section 03

3.1

Rule violations must be reported through a support ticket with clear evidence whenever possible.
Video evidence is strongly recommended for cheating, combat logging, exploits, raids, and PvP disputes.
Staff may be unable to act when the available evidence is insufficient.

3.2

Do not argue about punishments in public channels. Appeals and disputes must be handled through a support ticket.
Depending on severity and prior history, penalties may include warnings, mutes, inventory removal, base deletion, guild resets, temporary bans, or permanent bans.

Reports, appeals, and disputes are handled through linked-player support tickets in Discord.
