City Rulebook

Read and understand all rules before entering the city. Ignorance of the rules is not a valid excuse. Last updated July 2026.

I Community
  • Treat everyone with respect. No harassment, discrimination, hate speech, or sexual content.
  • 16+ community; Discord required. Exceptions only by Admins.
  • Participate respectfully and give feedback in the correct channels.
  • Keep conflicts respectful — contact moderators, not staff DMs.
  • No sharing personal information about other players.
  • No advertising other servers without prior approval.
  • All content must be appropriate and safe for the community.
  • Remain in-character (IC) when possible.
  • Suggestions are welcome via designated channels only.
II Server
  • Working mic + clipping required. No proof = invalid report.
  • Must stay in the Apex Discord while playing. No multi-calls whilst playing.
  • Follow Twitch ToS at all times.
  • No ERP, suicide/self-harm RP, or terrorism RP.
  • No spitting in any form — permanent ban.
  • No cheating, exploiting, RMT, revenge reporting, or impersonation.
  • No modded controllers at all.
  • Do not leave a scene or staff sit.
  • Stay IC at all times; OOC is for help only.
III In-City RP
 Core Rules
  • No metagaming or watching live streams while playing.
  • No powergaming or unrealistically forcing outcomes on others.
  • RDM/VDM require valid RP; limited escape exceptions apply.
  • FearRP: Value your life under a deadly threat.
  • NLR: Forget the last 15 minutes — no returning to or taking revenge for a scene.
  • Injuries must be roleplayed realistically at all times.
  • No fake hostages.
  • Forbidden RP: ERP, suicide/self-harm, terrorism, bodily fluids.
 Crime
  • Scams allowed up to £25,000 MAX — good RP must be involved.
  • Choose to rob OR kill — not both. No robbing downed/flatbacked players. If you rob a downed player you MUST take them to hospital before they flatback so they remember the scene. If they flatback during transit, remind them of the scene.
  • Hostages must be real players. No robbing hostages.
  • If downed in a gunfight or melee, you cannot return to the scene for 15 minutes. Other gang members cannot join if they were not part of the original 6.
  • Radio limit: 12 (15 for whitelisted gangs). Max 6 members per war/heist/robbery/scam.
  • Heists: Restart timers apply. Max 2 vehicles, no extra gang vehicles. No outside interference.
  • No dumping bodies where EMS cannot access.
 Character & Vehicle
  • Use realistic names — no names linked to IRL criminal activity, gang names, or doxing real people.
  • GTA jumps allowed only if landing cleanly. Rolls require injury RP. If you barrel roll your car you must immediately stop, exit, and RP your injuries — failure to do so = NVL punishment.
  • Wait 15 minutes after crime before logging out.
  • Do not force RP or emotes on others.
  • Greenzones: AMS, inside PD, highways, and any legal business — no crime unless taking a hostage.
 PD / EMS / Highways
  • Corruption is prohibited. May be allowed with great RP and must be approved via ticket beforehand — will also lead to a CK.
  • Water escape limited to 5 minutes max.
  • If cleanly boxed = exit vehicle.
  • EMS cannot be kidnapped or robbed. No combat revives.
IV Additional Rules
  • No mental health or self-harm RP.
  • Torture RP requires OOC consent before long-term injury is applied.
  • Supernatural elements as belief only — no real powers.
  • Unrealistic jumps = FailRP. No jumping onto buildings then onto a motorway; no using a Panto off-road.
  • Kidnapping/Hostage Taking: Not twice unless there is an escape. Max 30 minutes.
  • Weapon escalation must match class. Example: 1 Crim with Class 1 → PD use Class 1 only (they outnumber). 4+ Crims with Class 1 → PD may use 2× Class 2, rest must be Class 1 or beanbags.

VI Roleplay Over Ruleplay
Staff may allow RP-based exceptions only when it improves RP — never to excuse rule breaks or exploits.
Roleplay Over Gunplay — You must not take every chase or traffic stop to a gunfight. Your gun must be your last resort. If you are outnumbered, use your brain — play the scene out or escape when possible.

Not all scenes should end in a gunfight. It gets boring and repetitive. If we catch you doing this repeatedly, you will be punished.
