Return of Reckoning

The server is development first, player experience second.

This is a necessary compromise when dealing with a development server that is also public. The server will go through experimental states, whether this is because of a mechanic change or an attempt to fix a particular bug. In these transitional states, you can expect frequent restarts, gameplay issues and other detriments to the game experience. You are expected to understand that these are a necessary part of the server's progression, and that complaints about them are not welcome.

Alpha servers are not for everyone. Personally, I believe RoR maintains a high standard, and is playable the vast majority of the time. If the state of the server is too much for you, then you're welcome to come back when you feel the server has advanced sufficiently for your tastes.

You are testers first, players second.

This is an extension of the above. What players give back, so to speak, for playing here is respect for the staff, respect for the necessities of development and our experiments in direction, and their time as reporters of issues and bugs, in the correct location (the bugtracker), following the correct protocol. The vast majority of people will likely not do this, but this does not change the nature of the arrangement.

This also means that players who come to the server and conceal beneficial bugs for their own exploitation will be considered as less than dirt, as they have violated the above. Anyone of this nature is not welcome on this server.

Hi.
I think you should read this:
