As a general guidline describe your character in detail, roughly 150 words or more; what is it that really defines this character? What are his believes and so on? Spare no detail about who you are, your background and why you would like to immigrate to Everon.
Your whitelist can be revoked regardless of whether the rule break is on the Whitelist Server or our Public Servers. If you receive a game suspension for your behaviour on our Discord, you may also have your whitelist revoked.

Overview

The Whitelisted Server is for Players that have demonstated they are capable of following the ELAN's Ruleset to provide a more controlled space for constructive roleplay.

We would therefore ask all players interested in applying for whitelist become very familar with the Ruleset regarding how the conduct themselves when in-game.

The Rules for ELAN's Game Servers can be found here.

Why a whitelisted server?

In the past more and more players approached us and asked for a place where they could be truly creative. We also understand that on the public hives the roleplay suffers from time to time.

So we wanted you to provide a place where roleplay is number one priority.

What does that mean?

Firstly no out of character talks! Everything that happens on the server is strictly in roleplay.

Secondly get creative, you're a citizen of Everon that tries to find his or her own path diffrent from everybody else.

Applying for Whitelist

In order to ensure there is a certain standard of player on the Whitelisted Server, there are certain criteria that must be met before being allowed to apply:

Minimum Requirements for Application:

  1. You must not currently be banned for rule violations.
  2. You must have a verified Discord Account.
  3. Have at least 50-hours played on our Public Servers.

*Players who's in-game reputation is too low will also be unable to apply for the whitelist.

Approval Process:

Each Application to the Whitelist Server will be reviewed by the Admin Team to ensure only players that can abide by the rules can join.

If you have recently received a suspension for rule violation(s), your application may be refused for a period of in-game hours so you can demonstate to the management team your behaviour has changed since your last infraction.

Revocation:

Bad Roleplay

Some of our players really think that "Stop! Hands up or i shoot you!" is enough to fire your weapon or has anything to do with roleplay at all, so they can fire their weapon as fast as possible whith the minimum amount of roleplay involved.

Also Out-of-character talks are frowned upon in general on our Hives, but more so here.


These kinds of behaviors are strictly forbidden and will get your whitelist revoked.

Rule Violations

Rule Violations will be handled by our support team and then referred to managment for assessment.

If found to be in breach of the rules your whitelist status may be revoked for a period of in-game hours similarly to as described above (As well as a suspension from ELAN's Game Servers).

Your whitelist can be revoked regardless of whether the rule break is on the Whitelist Server or our Public Servers. If you receive a game suspension for your behaviour on our Discord, you may also have your whitelist revoked.

How to apply:
