ℹ️ HWS Guide 🛡️ HWS Rules

1. Reporting Rule Violations

If no HWS staff are online during an incident, you are required to provide supporting evidence—
screenshots are helpful, but videos are preferred.

Reports submitted without evidence will be treated with limited support, as we cannot validate unsubstantiated claims.

:prohibited: False Accusations

If you submit a report that is proven to be intentionally false or misleading, you will face disciplinary action.

:balance_scale: Incident Review Process

  • Each report is evaluated individually and impartially.
  • Action will be taken based on context, severity, and available proof.
  • Reports involving personal drama or non-rule-breaking conflicts will be ignored.

2. Final Judgment Policy

HWS Staff are committed to ensuring fairness and maintaining a healthy community. Disciplinary decisions are based on what we determine to be in the best interest of the server and its players.

We do not enforce automatic bans for every rule infraction. Instead, we apply discretion, reviewing:

  • Context of the violation
  • History of the player involved
  • Intent and impact of the incident

While outcomes may not always seem “reasonable” from your perspective, they reflect what we believe is best for the broader community.

:cross_mark: No Negotiations

We will not entertain:

  • Comparisons to other punishments
  • Requests to re-judge finalized cases
  • Attempts to influence the outcome through debate

HWS Staff have the final word on all disciplinary actions and investigation results.

3. Integrity Matters

@RexXxuSplaces a premium on honesty.

If you lie during an investigation, the consequences will be significantly harsher.

4. Community Expectations

When you joined HWS, you became part of a large, respectful, and helpful community.

Violating these principles may result in punishment.

5. Important Disclaimer

Empyrion is not a AAA title. It is developed by a small team with limited QA resources, and multiplayer is not the game’s primary focus. As a result, players may encounter:

  • Game-breaking bugs
  • Unexpected item or structure losses
  • Technical limitations that impact gameplay

This reality applies to all servers, including HWS.

:busts_in_silhouette: Community-Driven Support

With thousands of players and a small team (primarily RexXxuS), we do our best to maintain and improve your experience. We’re here to help, but please:

Only contact Admins if your issue is critical or involves a significant loss.
