GAMEPLAY REGULATIONS

The following rules govern the mechanics, combat, and roleplay aspects of Warship. These policies are in place to ensure a balanced and engaging experience for all players.

1 — GAMEPLAY DISRUPTION

Any action calculated to intentionally ruin another player's experience or progress is strictly prohibited.

• Prohibited Actions: Spawn killing (repeatedly targeting a defenseless player), camping graves to prevent item recovery, and baiting/trapping players with malicious intent.
• Clarifications:
  • AFK Protection: Killing an active player is permitted. However, deliberately targeting AFK players is considered disruption.
  • PvP Etiquette: Players who engage in PvP outside of official duel arenas still fall under this rule. While informal 1v1 fights in the open world are done voluntarily and at the players' own risk, actions such as camping a player’s grave after the fight, with the intent to deny item recovery or continue harassment, can still be considered a violation.
  • Good Faith: Being killed in the wilderness or by a trusted member is not automatically a violation unless it constitutes a pattern of harassment. Using this rule to file false reports against rivals will result in penalties.

Item Recovery Policy: Staff reserves the right to determine if item recovery is warranted based on intent and evidence. Returns are not guaranteed.

2 — THEFT & FRAUD

Using deceptive mechanics or "scamming" to defraud other players is prohibited.

• Item Manipulation: Renaming items to misrepresent their value or fabricating item abilities via commands is forbidden.
• Theft Protocols: Petty theft is a community matter to be resolved by players. However, draining a Land’s treasury or stealing significant assets is prohibited unless the thief is not a member of said Land (raiding).
• Kicking Abuse: It is strictly prohibited to kick a player from your Land for the sole purpose of seizing their assets, chests, or grave.

3 — REAL MONEY TRADING (RMT)

The exchange of in-game items, ranks, currency, or land for external currency, products, or services (real-world trading) is strictly prohibited.

4 — GRIEFING & LANDSCAPE PRESERVATION

Large-scale destruction within claims or in the wilderness (within a 3-chunk radius of claims) is prohibited. Severe griefing acts are treated as major offenses.

• Protected Infrastructure: The destruction of public roads (rails, ice roads) is punishable.
• Prohibited Methods: The use of lava, water, sand, or gravel (casting/cobble-monsters) to create massive obstructions or traps is banned globally, both in claims and wilderness.
• Resource Stripping: Extreme resource gathering that leaves the terrain permanently scarred may be penalized at staff discretion.
• Traps: Traps are permitted but must be designed to allow a potential exit or escape opportunity. Unescapable death traps are prohibited.
• Inappropriate Builds: Structures or signs containing controversial symbolism, phallic imagery, or offensive content are forbidden.
• Redstone: TNT cannons, block-moving machines, and fully automatic XP farms (requiring no player interaction) are prohibited.

5 — UNFAIR ADVANTAGES & PROHIBITED MECHANICS

The possession or use of any client modification, macro, or external tool that provides an unfair advantage is strictly prohibited. This includes (but is not limited to) movement hacks, combat assistance (killaura/aimbot), and x-ray textures.

Ender Pearl Stasis Chambers

Building, possessing, or using Ender Pearl Stasis Chambers is strictly prohibited. The system automatically detects any attempts to use, bypass, or abuse them. The first violation results in a warning, while any further attempt results in an automatic ban.

6 — ROLEPLAY STANDARDS

All interactions between players are considered Roleplay.

• FailRP: Actions that disrupt the flow of roleplay, intentionally destabilize the server environment without cause, or are realistically impossible within the setting are prohibited.

Content Quality Protection Rule

To preserve the quality and authenticity of content, the use of artificial intelligence (AI) tools to fully create roleplay announcements, newspapers, promotional materials for nations and organizations, or any other roleplay content on Warship is prohibited.
AI may be used as a tool to assist with writing or content creation, but the final version must be the result of your own work and effort. Content that is clearly generated primarily or entirely by AI, without a significant contribution from the author, will be removed.

7 — WAR & CONQUEST PROTOCOLS

Declaration of War

• Requirements: Wars must be declared via a high-quality roleplay announcement.
• Eligibility: Only functional, constructed cities may declare war. The attacker must specify a single target city; expanding the scope to multiple territories simultaneously is prohibited.
• Preparation: A mandatory 24-hour preparation period begins immediately upon declaration.

Delays & Logistics

• Extensions: A request to delay a war must be submitted within 24 hours of the declaration and requires a valid justification. Staff approval is required.
• Rebellions: Rebellions may only be declared by the rightful owner of a city with justified cause. Rebellions declared without full control of the contested territory will be invalid.

War Integrity

• Asset Hiding: Disbanding or removing towns from a nation immediately before or after a war declaration to avoid consequences is prohibited.

STORE & REFUND POLICY

The following guidelines govern all purchases made on the Warship store. By completing a transaction, you agree to these terms.

RANK TRANSFER GUIDELINES

We offer flexible options for transferring your rank, depending on the recipient:

• Personal Transfers: You may transfer your rank to a different username belonging to you (the original purchaser) at any time.
• Transfers to Others: Transferring a rank to a different player/individual is only permitted within 30 days of the initial purchase.
• How to Request: To initiate a transfer, please open a support ticket on our official Discord server.

REFUND POLICY

As a general rule, all sales are final once a transaction is successfully completed. Refunds are not typically issued for buyer's remorse or server punishments.

However, we provide exceptions for specific circumstances:

• Unauthorized Transactions: Purchases made using funds without the permission of the account holder (e.g., unauthorized use by a minor).
• Billing Errors: Instances where a monthly subscription renewed despite a documented attempt to cancel the service.

If you believe your case falls under these exceptions, please contact our support team immediately.
