GROUP RULES
◉ Maximum group size is 12. ◉ Do not make a ticket for group issues, these issues include but are not limited to:
- Putting you back in a group you left to “PVP with friends”, ETC
◉ If you intend on changing groups permanently, you must first leave your current group, or after you log back in, you will be in your original group again. ◉ Base Decay due to players creating, joining, or leaving multiple groups. Players forgetting to re-claim or raise their territory flag
ALLIES
◉ Alliances are permitted during raids and PVP, but the group size must not exceed the server’s designated group limit at any time. ◉ If you wish to have allies, they must be invited to your group, replacing currently offline/inactive members. This means that allies should be in the same group and have the same group tag. We have enabled temporary group joining, which means you do not need to leave your primary group. After you log back in, you will have to temp rejoin the alliance group. ◉ Attempting to bypass group size limit/ally rules to have bigger groups will be subject to a 7-day ban. ◉ Base codes are not to be shared with allies.
RAIDING RULES
◉ This server is a weekend raiding only server. Raiding starts Friday at 5:00 PM Discord time, and ends on Sunday at midnight Discord time. ◉ Should you add a code lock to a window to see if it has bars, you are required to remove the code lock prior to leaving. This coincides with the poor base design rule. ◉ Destroying walls/floors/roofs are not permitted. Only plant the C4 amount needed to blow the door. Anymore to take advantage of the known bug of blowing the frames/wall will result in a ban. (1 heavy for T1 door, 3 heavies for T2 door, 4 heavies for T3 door) ◉ Raid time is limited to 2 hours. After time expires, all raiders must exit the base, and leave the area. It is up to the raiders/defenders to track the time. Timer starts when the first C4 is ARMED (not placed). It is highly advised that someone record the raid event on each side. ◉ Entering a base through poor base design is allowed. If you become trapped inside or cannot leave the base, you must F11. You are allowed to soft-raid at anytime/anywhere, but prohibited from dismantling items or cutting locks off to gain access to loot using ANY tools, as that is what PvP weekend raiding is for. ◉ Boosting into bases is allowed. Stacking more than 2 objects to boost is prohibited and is considered glitch raiding. ◉ Gaining entry or exit to/from a base via an in-game exploit or glitch, such as forcing your character through solid objects. Example: Climbing a ladder and going through a wall, or logging out and logging in under someone’s base is considered glitch raiding and will result in a perma ban. ◉ Using player animations or objects to look through walls/doors is prohibited, and will lead to a ban. ◉ Do NOT Combat log while being raided. In the event of a server restart during a raid, you are obligated to come back and continue the raid or F11 before logging off; or log off 30 minutes after the last breach charge was placed. If the base owner chooses not to defend, they must die to the raiders and not return until the raid is over. ◉ Do NOT log out inside someone else’s base. ◉ No base rebuilding/combat log until after 30 minutes have passed since the last charge has been placed. It is on you as a group to keep track of the time. ◉ No insiding. Example: If you leave one clan and join another, you are not to provide old clan base codes or any other info to the new clan. ◉ Do not announce in-game chat or ForsakenLands Discord the location of an in-progress raid. Anyone can contest the raid. Only the clan that started the raid is allowed in the base during the raid time. After the raid time is over, it is the responsibility of the base owner to rebuild doors to prevent soft-raiding. ◉ No griding bases. Example: Leaving loot on the ground or destroying vehicles. There are plenty of trashcans/dumpsters at each safe zone. ◉ One your group has completed/left a raid, your group is not allowed to return to that same clan’s base for the remainder of the raid weekend.
SAFE-ZONE RULES

You will receive a message if you are to close to another players base, or in a no-build zone. ◉ It is your responsibility to ensure your flag is raised at all times. Failure to keep your flag raised will result in your base decaying when the flag reaches the base of the pole. It takes 5 days for the flag to reach the bottom of the pole. ◉ You are allowed to build bases on the water, but all foundations/floors must reach the floor and they must be connected to the mainland/island with a permanent bridge. ◉ No barbed wire of any kind inside/outside a base. ◉ We have permanent no-build zones on the server. If you can place a flag, you can build there, with these exceptions: ◉ You cannot block event spawns with your base. No base building in Police or gas stations. Do not build on or block roads. ◉ Sky bases are not allowed. All corners must be connected to the ground. More than one layer of foundations counts as a floor, and will be deducted from your build limit. ◉ Wall kits must be placed horizontally. Players are not allowed to flip kits vertically in an attempt to achieve a larger base design. ◉ You are not allowed to block/cover entrances with tents, vehicles, or other items. If found, they will be deleted. ◉ You are not allowed to take over other players abandoned/raided bases. PVP BASES ◉ If your base is found to be illegal, you will not be allowed to raid until it is resolved. ◉ Max base size 4X4X3 (regardless of player count). This means 4 wide, 4 deep, and 3 high. ◉ In addition to the base structure, you are allowed a “shooting rooftop” or “helipad” with a 1×1 access point and 2 layers of walls to protect players. ◉ No locked tents/objects over hatches. ◉ No code locked hatches. ◉ Do not build in a way that forces players into an animation to raid your base. ◉ You are allowed to build inside of a pre-existing structure, but only up to the size of a 4x4x3 BBP structure. For example you cannot take over a school or large industrial buildings. If you have questions about a building, please open a ticket or risk the base being removed. ◉ Bases are limited to 10 code-locked doors, hatches, and gates in total. Window doors are permissible and will not count towards your code-lock limit, there must be no loot behind any window doors. ◉ Airlocks are allowed, but must not contain storage or garage kits as those are hackable. If a ticket is submitted during a raid to check that airlock and storage items/garage kit is found, we have to knock the code lock off of one of the windows. Note: If you create an airlock, you need to place the kit and set spawn point before building the windows because you cannot jump through a window while trying to set the spawn point as it will cancel the option. ◉ Gate and door kits must be spaced at least one player’s shoulder width apart, providing enough room for movement and aiming. ◉ Forcing a player into an animation, vaulting, crouching, proning, etc., to gain access to a door is prohibited. ◉ Peaks for defenders is allowed, but must meet specific criteria.
