Recruitment

To join the server you and your friends must get familiar with this season's theme and rules. Once you've gone over everything fill out the recruitment application located at the bottom of the page.

— Rules —

1. Respect - Always have "Value of Life" and Respect RP. Be respectful of others on the Server and on Discord; racist remarks, personal insults or verbal attacks are strictly prohibited! *We should all know that line you shouldn't cross when joking around* Failure to adhere to or respect the guidelines of your Tribe Leader could lead to you being banished from your tribe without gear, weapons, or dinos. If an Admin deems it necessary, you could be banned from the server. Out of Respect for Roleplay, anything that happens on ArkHaven is usually final. At some point this season, a server event may cause the destruction of your base upon failure to defend it properly. Some players may find disappointment in defeat. But the only challenge we orchestrate is survival. To the victor go the spoils.
   
2. Alias - Your In-Game Name may not contain special characters unless they are part of your name. (Example: "Übbe". Here's an example of what not to do: "~*D1cK I8r4IN*~"). No Offensive names or pictures. Admins will change your name if you do not comply with the guidelines. Your Discord Username must be the same as your Xbox Gamertag. Your Discord "Nickname" must be exactly the same as your in-game name.
   
3. Forbidden Dino: Bronto & Giga. Some saddles (like flyers) may be disabled during the first few Ages of our timeline. You must complete the server events to progress.
   
4. Plant X Limitations - Turrets are not to be spammed. You can have tower defenses or they can be placed in sets of up to 4 plots on top of a building no smaller than a 4x4.  (This is to prevent lag)
   
5. Raid Limitations - No Bitching about being raided. Offline raid prevention is enabled. No Base Wiping/Combat Logging/Meta Gaming/Exploiting. Never kill someone without engaging in RP first or having valid reasoning. If you die in combat you cannot return to the fight unless the fight is at your base.
   *No picking enemies with Flying tames*: This rule is simple. Flyers can only fight flyers. (See Rule 11.)
   

   *No Dumping* take only what you need, do not drop what you can't carry. Attempt to leave valuables you cannot carry in the nearest smithy if accessible.

6. *No Griefing* - A 12 Hour Raid Timer goes into effect after a raider leaves for 15 minutes or more. Continuous raiding, meaning returning before 12 hours, will be considered griefing. If the server crashes during a battle, do not engage until both parties reconnect. No excessive or unnecessary damage; it's required to create only one entrance into a hold or base and one exit (only if needed). Always remember, this is an RP server.

7. Passive Tames: Killing another player's creatures is only allowed under the occurrence of RP in which the owner is actively involved or in self-defense. You are not to kill a dino that is on Passive. Any tames rode into battle are considered battle mounts. If you store things on passive dinosaurs, they are still subject to being tranqed out and the items being stolen.
   

8. Clutter & Building Limitations - No random foundations, abandoned structures, or abandoned rafts. These will be removed by Admins without notice. In an attempt to maintain server performance we ask that you refrain from constructing massive projects without the approval of our Admin team.

9. Respect The Territories - Do not build/trespass near or around "disputed lands" unless a Faction specifically requests a trade or a job with you. If you are caught in enemy territory, expect to be approached and/or captured based on rp standards. Max time to hold a prisoner is 2 real hours. (Cage, Base, Handcuffs, Tranq. Cool-down for re-caging 2 hours. If the victim comes back to attack, the cooldown is off.)
10. Role Play - In any form of engagement, we require you engage in role play. There may be natural disasters that occur on the server as well. The world is constantly moving and changing. You must remain in character at all times and adapt to the changes. Do not utilize [local] chat for OOC (out-of-character) conversation. Discord Off_Topic channel is the only place for OOC engagement.
