Important Notice
Ignorance of the rules is not an excuse. All players are expected to read and understand these rules before joining. Violations may result in warnings, kicks, temporary bans, or permanent bans depending on severity. Staff decisions are final.
General Rules
1
Respect All Players
Treat everyone with respect. No harassment, discrimination, racism, sexism, homophobia, or hate speech of any kind will be tolerated in or out of character.
2
No Cheating or Exploiting
The use of hacks, mods, exploits, or any third-party software to gain an unfair advantage is strictly prohibited and will result in an immediate permanent ban.
3
English Only in Global Chat
All communication in global channels must be in English. Other languages are allowed in private channels, proximity chat, or within your organization.
4
No Advertising
Advertising other servers, Discord servers, social media, or external services without staff permission is not allowed.
5
Character Names
Character names must be realistic and appropriate. No famous people, meme names, or offensive names. Use proper first and last names.
6
Age Requirement
All players must be at least 16 years old to play on ReLife Roleplay. Maturity and serious roleplay is expected.
Roleplay Rules
1
Stay In Character
Always remain in character while in the city. Breaking character ruins immersion for others. Use /ooc sparingly for out-of-character communication when absolutely necessary.
2
Value Your Life (Fear RP)
Act realistically in dangerous situations. If held at gunpoint, outnumbered, or in a life-threatening situation, you must comply with demands as you would in real life. Your character fears death.
3
No Random Deathmatch (RDM)
Do not kill other players without a valid roleplay reason. All hostile actions must have proper RP buildup and valid justification. Killing for no reason is prohibited.
4
No Vehicle Deathmatch (VDM)
Using your vehicle as a weapon to injure or kill players without proper RP reason is prohibited. Accidental bumps happen, but intentional ramming is not allowed.
5
New Life Rule (NLR)
If you are killed or respawn at the hospital, you forget everything from your previous life including who killed you and why. Do not return to the area where you died for 15 minutes.
6
No Powergaming
Do not force actions on other players that they cannot react to or deny. Allow others to respond and participate in roleplay scenarios. Example: "/me takes his gun" without allowing response is powergaming.
7
No Metagaming
Do not use information obtained outside of roleplay (Discord, streams, OOC chat, etc.) in-game. Only use knowledge your character would realistically have through in-character interactions.
8
Fail RP
Always roleplay realistically. Unrealistic actions like jumping off buildings, ignoring injuries, or performing superhuman feats are considered Fail RP.
9
Combat Logging
Disconnecting during active roleplay, especially during combat or police interactions, is prohibited. If you must leave, ensure the situation is resolved first.
Criminal Activity Rules
1
Quality Roleplay Required
All criminal activity must have proper roleplay. Provide meaningful interaction and buildup before committing crimes. No rushed or low-effort criminal RP.
2
Robbery Rules
You may only rob players who have valuables visible or are in situations where robbery makes sense. Do not repeatedly target the same player. Allow 30 minutes between robberies on different players.
3
No Camping Safe Zones
Do not camp hospitals, police stations, garages, or other designated safe zones to commit crimes. Give players reasonable time to leave before engaging.
4
Hostage Situations
Hostages must be treated with RP value. They should not be your friends or gang members. Negotiations should be realistic. Maximum of 2 hostages per situation. Do not harm hostages without valid RP reason.
5
Gang Wars
Gang conflicts must have valid IC reasoning and proper buildup. Random wars without RP are not allowed. Notify staff before starting large-scale conflicts.
6
Scamming Limits
Scamming is allowed in-character but has limits. You may not scam more than $50,000 or major assets without staff approval. Vehicle/property scams require RP buildup.
Emergency Services Rules
1
Respect Emergency Services
Police, EMS, and Fire departments must be treated with realistic respect. Do not interfere with active emergency situations without valid RP reason.
2
Corruption Requires Permission
All emergency services personnel must have staff permission before engaging in corrupt activities. Corruption must be realistic and well-roleplayed.
3
Prioritize Roleplay Over Winning
Emergency services should focus on creating engaging RP scenarios rather than winning every situation. Allow criminals opportunities for RP.
4
Follow Department Guidelines
All emergency services must follow their department's standard operating procedures and chain of command. Attend required training sessions.
5
No Baiting
Police should not bait criminals into committing crimes. Allow organic RP to develop naturally.
Communication Rules
1
Use Voice Chat Properly
Ensure your microphone quality is clear and audible. No excessive background noise, music, or voice changers without RP context. Push-to-talk is recommended.
2
Realistic Radio Usage
Radio communications should be realistic. Use proper radio etiquette and terminology. Only use radio when your character would realistically have one.
3
No Spam
Do not spam chat, voice, or radio channels. Keep communications relevant and meaningful. Excessive trolling or annoying behavior is prohibited.
4
Phone Usage
Use your in-game phone realistically. Don't use it while driving at high speeds or during active combat. Texts and calls should be in-character.
Vehicle Rules
1
Drive Realistically
Drive according to your vehicle type. Sports cars can drive fast, but regular vehicles should be driven realistically. Obey traffic laws unless in an active pursuit or emergency.
2
No Unrealistic Stunts
Performing unrealistic jumps, stunts, or driving off cliffs without RP reason is prohibited. Value your vehicle and your character's safety.

Racing
Street racing is allowed but must be done safely. Don't race in highly populated areas or create excessive danger to others.

Collisions and Accidents
If involved in a serious accident, roleplay injuries appropriately. Don't immediately drive away from major crashes. Call EMS if needed.

No Real Money Trading
Trading in-game currency, items, or services for real money is strictly prohibited and will result in a permanent ban for all parties involved.
