You must read these rules before even attempting to join the server.
Note: These Rules may be revised by Admins at any time.
Breaking of these Rules will result in a warning, a kick and/or temp ban, and then a permanent ban if the problem continues.
Lords of War Server Rules:
This is an RP server so there are a few terms you need to know before joining:
-IC (You will play your “character” for the majority of the time in this server and when typing you will be playing your character. This is represented by IC or In Character)
-OOC ( If ever you need to speak out of character on your own to ask a question that is not an rp related question type OOC or “Out of Character” or // before your text)
General Rules:
-This server Has absolutely NO tolerance for Random Killing , Team Killing, and Spawn killing, First offense will Result in warning from admin or other player, Second offense will result in kick or Temp ban, 3 Strikes you’re out!
-Lords and servants of lords may not steal gold or items from other faction members or enemy faction members.
-Ne recruiting of pw players for factions in the game.
-No recruiting or advertising of other clans, regiments, or guilds.
-No profanity, insults, or racism.

-Players must rp their characters in local chat. Faction chat rping is up to the leader of the faction.

-No metagaming at all (This is when a player says something that is IC in global chat. This could involve telling people the location of a war party etc. You can only tell people the location of a war party in local chat, to players near you. Doing this in global chat ruins RP and reduces the quality of the gaming experience.)
-No Robbing Unless you are an Outlaw
Taxation Rules:

War and Raid Declaration Rules:
-In War a messenger must be sent to the opposing faction carrying a banner letting them know of the declaration of war before any fighting can occur, even then no fighting can occur until the messenger has returned. Once the war has been declared by the messenger it must be announced in global a minimum of 3 times so that other players within the game are aware of the circumstances. A castle CANNOT be taken by force WITHOUT an official declaration of war by the opposing faction. If there are nil members of a faction online under no circumstances is another faction to place a banner and take control of this castle. Role Play and the above rules must always apply for a war, so members of a faction must be present.

New Life Rule:
-New Life means that upon death you forget everything about who killed you. Do not return to the scene of your death for at least five minutes. You will not remember anything about who killed you or where it happened, so you should stay away from where you died. (IC: In character, OOC: Out of character). However, you can choose to RP it as a knockout. Meaning the blow you took caused you to forget what happened to you. However you may still know who you are.
Commoner Rules:
-Commoners may start their own trading and crafting guilds if they so wish within the commoners faction.
-Commoners MUST RP with everyone. Commoners may only be killed through RP, there is no restriction on who kills a commoner but it MUST be done through RP and WITH GOOD reason. People randoming Commoners will be warned and if rules are not followed they will be kicked, and if it persists they will be banned. Commoners cannot steal.
