Rules & Server Info

Server Info

Original is a 2× DayZ-inspired survival server running on Rust. It's built for tight, meaningful wipes where Cash and skill matter more than raw grind time.

The server runs on a wipe and rotation schedule. Each wipe resets the map and player inventories; your schematics and Lazarus Pass progress carry over between wipes. Skills reset on a monthly forced wipe.

Teams & Alliances

Team size is capped at 4 players. This is a hard limit — not a suggested cap. Building, raiding, fighting, and looting all count toward it.

Team Size

• A team may have no more than 4 members at any one time, including during raids, base defense, events, and monument runs.
• Members do not need to be in the in-game team UI to count — if you are consistently playing together, protecting each other, or sharing a base, you are a team.
• Swapping out players mid-wipe to stay under 4 while maintaining a larger group is not permitted.

No Zerging

Alliances

• Alliances are not allowed. You may not form standing agreements with other teams to share resources, loot, bases, or coordinate in PvP.
• Temporary, in-the-moment cooperation (e.g. joining forces during a single event encounter) is a grey area — ongoing or pre-arranged alliances are not.
• If staff have reason to believe two or more teams are operating as an alliance, all involved teams may be penalised.

The Rules

These rules apply to all players at all times. Ignorance of the rules is not an excuse. Staff decisions are final.

Cheating & Exploiting

• No cheats or hacks. Any software that gives you an advantage not available to other players is prohibited. This includes aimbots, ESP, no-recoil scripts, and speedhacks.
• No exploiting. If you find a bug or unintended mechanic, do not use it — report it in our Discord. Exploiting for gain is treated the same as cheating.
• No duplication. Duplicating Cash, items, or any other resource is an immediate permanent ban.

Behaviour

• No racism, hate speech, or serious harassment. Trash talk and competitive banter are part of PvP servers; targeted abuse toward individuals or groups based on identity is not.
• No doxxing or threatening real-world harm. Any threat involving a player's personal information or real-life safety is an immediate permanent ban.
• No impersonating staff. Do not claim to be an admin or moderator, or act with false authority.
• No advertising. Do not advertise other servers, communities, or services in global chat.
• English in global chat. Use global chat in English so staff and players can moderate effectively. Use team or direct chat for other languages.

Raiding & PvP

• Raiding, PvP, and base destruction are fully permitted — this is a survival PvP server.
• Griefing past the point of raiding (e.g. repeatedly destroying a completely empty base over multiple days with no strategic reason) may be reviewed by staff.
• Camping spawn points or outpost safe zones to kill fresh spawns is not permitted. Safe zones exist so new players can transact, bank, and regroup without being killed.

Reporting & Moderation

• Report suspected rule-breakers in our Discord. Include their name and a brief description of what happened.
• Do not take matters into your own hands or publicly accuse players of cheating in global chat — report it and let staff investigate.
• False reports submitted to harass other players may result in action against the reporter.
• Staff decisions are final. Disputes can be appealed through the proper channel in Discord — not in-game chat.
