Key changes to Rules:
Rules have been updated and finalised: https://www.arkwarfare.com/rules
ArkWarfare Punishment System created for enforcement: https://www.arkwarfare.com/post/arkwarfare-punishment-system
ArkWarfare Policies have been created: https://www.arkwarfare.com/post/arkwarfare-policies
Removal of 48-hour peace given to the tribe that you raid. This was removed due to a few reasons: If you have been wiped or near wiped you are eligible for protection shields lasting up to 3 days, therefore if the raid is successful you already get protection. There is also rule 4.5 in place which protects tribes from being raided excessively by the same tribe. We have now added in a 12-hour break between raiding the same tribe (to ensure there is some form of a break for those long raids/tribe wars)
No raid limits - before you were limited to raiding one tribe per day per map. This was recently voted and the majority were in favour of no raid limits (except for rule 4.5) meaning you can raid as often as you like - just ensure you are raiding/pvp'ing against tribes evenly and not excessively raiding the same tribe.
Removal of the rule regarding placing sleeping bags in locations to later respawn and bypass enemy defences (sleeping bags now have the same placement restrictions as all structures regarding being set distance from an enemy structure)
Removal of the rule regarding sharing base locations in global chat or discord
Removal of the rule regarding limiting tribes to 2 bases per map due to structure limit of 10,000 per tribe
Removal of foundation wiping rule as this is impossible to enforce without knowing the base layout prior to the raid
Removal of platform saddle building rules - there are restrictions in place via a plugin to limit the types of cheese methods to raiding (ie. platform structure limits, types of structures allowed on a platform saddle...etc)
Update to PVE Teaming rule - now only includes Boss Fights (excl. Genesis) - Farming, Taming, OSD, Element Veins, Genesis Ascension - will not be considered as PVE teaming.
