Are you serious? Mabus ("228 APK") is a well known gridcamper who has been punished by GMs for his trollish behaviour. Gridcamping is simply not allowed, even if some people got a hard time understanding that.

Someone may want to update the "Game Rules" thread then, because grid camping is conspicuously missing from that list of violations.
Does that mean no more PVP in Reno? What about other unguarded towns/areas? Trust me, I just spent 20 minutes looking and I cannot even find a broad definition of "Grid Camping", much less any indication that it's a rule violation.
Maybe Mabus should know, but the rest of us that have not been warned would have no idea. How am I NOT supposed to have a hard time understanding it?
The rules here are subject to change, going with the possible exploits, bug and features. They will be changed whenever deemed necessary and this thread will be updated.
Here is a list of some actions that we consider unfair and illegal in the game. If you're spotting someone violating the rules, feel free to message a GM by typing: "+requesthelp <message>". However they won't do anything unless they witness an actual rule violation.
- Exploiting a bug or abusing of a feature (this includes security failures in guarded towns).
- Using alts (that means dual log - playing with more than one character at time, even with two computers).
- Using any kind of unauthorized third-party tool that modifies the game memory and/or data files.
- Avoiding the anti-alt timeout system.
- Using bots, macros, auto-clickers.
- Abusing of +requesthelp command can warrant a ban for 14 days or indefinitly for repeat offender - this means using it for problems that do not require a GM assistance.
- Examples of misuse of requesthelp:
* Asking for skins. Skins are only given out rarely during some events. Do not ask for them.
* Requesting to spawn some items/NPCs.
- Racism or other hostile speech.
- Impersonating staff member.
- Attacking people in respawn locations.
- Spamming or making in-game chat unreadable.
Sanctions shall go from jailing or temporary banning to regenerating tent/faction map or characters deleting.
Also, please note that by going to an event set up by GMs you agree with the event rules, that may vary. Sanction for players making troubles in an event is let to the Game Master's imagination.
Use common sense and you won't get into any trouble.

Also, "gridcamping" is in my opinion very easy to define: it's when you stand near the entrance of a location waiting for others to spawn so you (or your mercs/slaves) can shoot and kill them before they can react. If you want to camp without gridcamping, just move away from the entrance of the location a bit, to allow your potential enemies to control their characters and actually look for a battle against you instead of killing them without risking anything, without letting them shoot back.

Eternauta:
You are mixing up two different things. That thread was about PvP in protected towns. What I am talking about, is gridcamping.
PvP in protected towns is not the problem. The problem is when you start to gridcamp, which you can do in protected or unprotected places.
