RULES

General Rules

These apply everywhere NEXT Roleplay exists — in game, on Discord, and on this site. They are about how people treat each other, not about roleplay.

• 0.1

  Profanity

  Vulgarity and inappropriate content of any kind, including blasphemy, are not permitted.

• 0.2

  Inappropriate behaviour

  Discrimination, racism, and apology for extremist ideologies are not tolerated in any form. Respect for everyone is the condition for being here at all.

• 0.3

  Provocation and flaming

  Serious insults, deliberate provocation, and prolonged arguments intended to create hostility are prohibited.

  • 0.3.1

    Harassment

    Sustained conduct of the kind described in 0.3, directed at one or more people, is treated as harassment and dealt with accordingly.

• 0.4

  Impersonating staff

  Do not present yourself as a member of the team or act with authority you do not have. Helping other players is always welcome — claiming a role is not.

• 0.5

  Advertising and spam

  Promoting unrelated services, other communities, or illegal material is prohibited in every channel.

• 0.6

  Privacy

  Do not share anyone’s personal information without their consent. NEXT Roleplay will never ask you for personal information and never passes anything to third parties.

• 0.7

  Terms of service

  Connecting to the server means you accept the Terms of Service and this ruleset.

Roleplay

The rules that keep the city coherent. Your character knows what your character has learned — nothing more.

• 1.0

  Metagaming

  Using out-of-character information in character is prohibited. What you read on Discord, hear on a stream, or know from a previous life is not available to the person you are playing.

• 1.1

  Powergaming

  Do not force outcomes on other players or perform actions your character could not realistically perform. Every action must leave the other person a way to respond.

• 1.2

  Fear roleplay

  Your character values their own life. Behave, under threat, the way a person would actually behave.

• 1.3

  Random deathmatch

  Violence needs a reason that exists in the story. Attacking without prior in-character context is prohibited.

• 1.4

  Breaking character

  Stay in character in public spaces. Use the designated out-of-character channels for anything else, and open a ticket for anything that needs staff.

Accounts and fair play

• 2.0

  One account

  One account per person. Alternate accounts used to gain an advantage, evade a sanction, or hold assets are prohibited.

• 2.1

  Modifications

  Clients or modifications that provide an advantage over other players are prohibited. If you are unsure whether something is allowed, ask before you use it.

• 2.2

  Exploits

  Report bugs instead of using them. Profiting from a defect — in the economy, in a mechanic, in a permission — is treated as intentional.

• 2.3

  Real-money trading

  In-game assets, currency and accounts must not be exchanged for real money or for goods outside the server.
