[!] Do not purposely re-set map arts. This is considered a destruction of property and is not allowed.

[IMPORTANT!] What does this mean going forward?

We are giving the community 1 month to “hand in” their map arts that no longer comply with the rules as stated above.

We understand this may be upsetting to some as they may have spent a sizeable amount of time working on a specific piece but this has now become a non-negotiable rule. We thank you for your compliance!


Hand In’s can be dropped off at /visit Kerahna or given to any online Staff Member.


Failure to comply with these rules by MAY 12, 2024 will result in immediate confiscation and possible punishment.


If you are found to have made a NEW map art of inappropriate nature from now on, we reserve the right to remove the map(s) from your possession and a punishment may be issued.



Please Note:
We kindly ask that you please have patience with us while we roll out these new rules and regulations. It may take some time before these rules are properly instilled and the majority of confiscations have occurred. We appreciate everyone's cooperation and help as we move through this process.

This has been in discussion for quite some time and thought a proper solution was better than putting out small fires. The team did a wonderful job making this happen and addressing long standing unwritten rules as well.

 

Please hand in said maps at /visit Kerahna or to any staff member.

 

One step at a time.
