Server events are events run by players meaning they set the rules of the event however unless the event organizer states otherwise then the following rules apply at all times:- No crime of any type or scale
- No messing around or causing an annoyance
Players are not to loiter around these areas to avoid RP neither should they ‘run’ to said areas to avoid the ongoing situation. However if an ongoing scenario leads you to that place, you can carry on the role play but you are to leave these areas as soon as you can, this excludes any medical centers. These are the current safezones, the safezone counts for the building and all surrounding pavement/roads.

New players will spawn in at the Alta Street Apartments, you should not take them hostage from there
