Game Rules

Hello, good people of the fog!<\/p>\n\n

We now have a team Associate Community Managers, as well as an updated in-game report system.
\nWith your help, we will be able to find the players who are creating a bad game experience and punish them appropriately, making the game a better place.<\/p>\n\n

HOW TO REPORT A PLAYER<\/h1>\n\n

You may only report things that happen directly to you or in a game that you were in.
\nReporting for other people is not allowed and these reports will be discarded.
\n(ie. Reporting someone on behalf of a friend, streamer, or other)<\/p>\n\n

Fill the In-game report<\/h2>\n\n

An In-game report MUST<\/strong> be made. This is not optional<\/strong>, and is a must to help us identify the person in your game as well as find any other evidence we need.<\/p>\n\n

Customer Support ticket?<\/h2>\n\n
    \n
  • Video evidence is required or heavily suggested for some offenses, please refer to the lists below.<\/li>\n
  • Whilst you can report offenses directly to our support, please only do so for serious offenses like cheating, hacking, DOX\/death threats.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
