Welcome to the Iron Isle!

Life is Feudal Roleplay is a role-play (RP) server first, player versus player (PvP) second. LiFRP is a friendly server where mature players of all ages can come together to enjoy the game. The Game-master and administration team reserves the right to warn, kick, or ban any player to preserve role-play and keep the experience fun for all.

The administration team will adhere to the spirit of the rules written hereunder when making any judgement. The rules as written are not subject, in the end, to the player's interpretation. Decisions will be supported by the administration's original intent. These rules were put in place to improve the experience for all players on the server. Players arriving here with the express and singular purpose of ruining the gaming experience of others are unwelcome and will quickly find that though their actions may reside within the letter of the law, they will not reside within its spirit. Such players will find that they face warnings, are kicked, or are banned from the server.

The Administration reserves the right to judge what "excessive raiding" is. Raiding Groups that are guilty of excessive raiding against the same settlements will be asked to lay off for a period of time determined by an GM in order to let raided settlements have time to recover. Ignoring the ruling of the administration and continuing to raid settlements counts as excessive raiding and is a warnable/bannable offence.
