SERVER RULES.

Players are responsible for staying updated with any rule changes posted on the official website or Discord.

You must have a working, clear microphone while playing on UniverseRP.

• Respect all players and staff members at all times.
• Harassment, discrimination, toxicity, racism, homophobia, sexism, or hate speech will not be tolerated.
• Excessive profanity or hateful language in-game is strictly prohibited.

Advertising other roleplay communities, servers, or platforms is strictly prohibited.

Do not encourage, assist, or influence other players to break server rules. You may receive the same punishment as the person who broke the rule.

• Remain in character at all times during roleplay situations.
• All actions must make sense within your character's story, and every decision should have realistic consequences.
• Do not break character to discuss rules or complaints — use Discord tickets or the appropriate OOC channel instead.
• Poor roleplay (e.g. robbing someone and leaving immediately without allowing police involvement, mixing memories from different characters, or ignoring realistic consequences) is strictly forbidden.

Continue roleplay unless all involved parties agree to stop or pause. If you feel uncomfortable, communicate respectfully through proper channels.

All characters must have realistic, appropriate, and immersive names.

Unique characters (such as serial killers, robots, paranormal entities, etc.) require prior staff approval.

Randomly killing or attacking another player without proper roleplay initiation and reasoning is prohibited.

Using a vehicle as a weapon to intentionally harm or kill players is prohibited. Extreme VDM carries a 200 Comserve penalty.

Your character must realistically value their life — e.g., following demands when facing serious threats, and avoiding unrealistic actions that put your life at risk.

Using unrealistic mechanics, actions, or situations to gain an unfair advantage is prohibited.

Leaving the server during an active roleplay or combat situation to avoid consequences is prohibited.

• Remain completely silent while downed. Do not communicate or influence the ongoing situation.
• Wait until revived by EMS or until the situation completely concludes.
• Changing clothes while downed is not allowed without proper roleplay using /me.
• Once a fight has ended, downed bodies must not be held or guarded for more than 10 minutes — loot and move on.

After being revived following death, you cannot return to the same roleplay situation. Your character must treat the event as a new life with no memory of the death event.

After receiving injuries, you cannot immediately return to combat or dangerous activities. Act out your injuries appropriately.

A mandatory 1-hour cooldown applies before engaging the same gang in another fight or conflict.

Erotic roleplay is strictly prohibited. This includes explicit sexual roleplay, sexual content, nudity, or lewd materials.

Using /me commands to force actions on another player without giving them a chance to respond is prohibited (e.g., /me zip ties him without allowing reaction time).

Emotes must improve roleplay immersion and cannot be abused to gain a mechanical advantage during combat or movement.

Do not mention or reference server rules while in character. Handle all rule disputes through Discord or a staff report.

Characters owned by the same player cannot transfer money or items, share information, or be part of the same gang/organization as each other.

A player cannot have one character in a government/official role while another character is involved with a gang. Police characters are subject to additional restrictions and require special permission from management to hold a second, unrelated character.

New players cannot be taught secret locations, illegal jobs, or hidden criminal systems by other players — these must be discovered naturally through roleplay. This includes airdrop processing methods.

Intentionally killing, attacking, or kidnapping EMS personnel while they are on duty is strictly prohibited.

Robberies and major heists are not allowed within 30 minutes of a scheduled server restart. (Does not apply to unscheduled/emergency restarts.)

Using a streamer's live broadcast to gain an advantage is strictly prohibited. Do not:

• Watch streams to locate player positions.
• Use streamer information for in-character decisions.
• Interact with a streamer's chat while actively playing on the server.
• Watch or use a streamer's chat during active conflicts.

Using information gained outside of roleplay (Discord, streams, OOC messages) inside roleplay is prohibited.

Players are strictly prohibited from using friends, gang members, or associates as "fake hostages" to artificially fulfill robbery requirements.

All hostages must be treated with a baseline value of life. You cannot execute a fully compliant hostage simply because law enforcement refused a single demand.

You cannot kidnap someone in a Green or Blue Zone. Kidnapping EMS or active Government officials without substantial high-tier roleplay reasons is prohibited.

Launching vehicles off mountains, jumping off highway overpasses, or driving low-clearance supercars strictly off-road constitutes unrealistic roleplay and will be penalized as Powergaming / FailRP.

Intentionally ramming police cruisers head-on at high speeds to disable them (when fleeing) is prohibited. Any PIT maneuvers must be performed realistically.

Intentionally committing crimes, doing burnouts, or firing unsuppressed weapons near police departments or active officers solely to initiate a chase or shootout without a valid underlying RP reason is prohibited.

You cannot run into a property/interior and lock the door while in an active pursuit or shootout to exploit game mechanics against police.
