Rules FOR the Staff

Just like players, the staff has its own rule set it needs to follow in addition to the server rules. In an effort to be transparent in what we do, we wanted to take a moment of full disclosure of what we're allowing ourselves to do as staff members and what we're NOT allowing ourselves to do.

Spawning Items
As Staff members we spend anywhere from 3-16+ hours just working on the server and seeing to player needs depending on the day. With doing all that work it sometimes doesn't allow us a lot of time to actually play the game and when we do we want it to be an enjoyable experience that keeps us motivated to continue working hard on the server.

Below is what staff can do and what staff can not do in regards to spawning items. Please note that staff can only spawn these items for personal use and not handing out to an entire clan.

Can:
 * Spawn weapons, armor, healing items and food.
 * Spawn building pieces for quick builds within reason. No large spawning for huge builds ((the only exception to this is the first month of server launch)).

Won't:
 * Spawn items that general players cannot access themselves. If spotted please open a ticket.
 * Spawn Pippi money for themselves. Staff are expected to farm money like everyone else.
 * Spawn items for friends or clan members unless related to a legitimate reimbursement situation. (Must be documented in a ticket.)

Flying
Staff will not abuse flying for building or travel unless "on staff duty." This will be marked in-game with a status above the head of "Admin mode."

Invisibility
Staff will not abuse invisibility unless performing Admin duties. Admin must be clearly marked with that status "Admin Mode." Admins may observe and inspect players if suspicious activity is being investigated.

Teleportation
Staff will not abuse teleportation around the map without clearly being marked with Status "Admin Mode." Staff will also be required to ask permission from players to teleport directly to there location.

Staff PCs
We want to get out there and have fun RPing too!

Each staff member may have 1 or 2 characters in play (same alt rules as everyone else). These characters should be treated as any other PC out and about in the game. We have no special powers. Our PCs are just like everyone else's, unless of course we've filled out an Apply for a Special Character form, again... just like everyone else.
