- Respect. No insults, harassment or needless provocation. Teasing someone about an in-game action is fine, as long as you do not go after the person.Forbidden, for example: messaging someone in DMs to mock their death.
- Hate speech. None, including in names, avatars and clan names.
- Content. Nothing NSFW, shocking or illegal: cheats, stolen accounts, piracy.
- Advertising. No advertising without an administrator's agreement, whether for another server, a Discord, a stream or a shop.
- Channels. Each topic has its channel: bugs, trading, recruitment, support.
- Mentions. Do not ping the staff or the owner over and over. For a request, open a ticket.
- Personal information. Do not post any personal information about someone else. Doxxing is an immediate permanent ban. Permanent ban
- VIP and boosters. They get perks, such as priority access, but no immunity. A sanction can suspend those perks.
- Staff decisions. They are not argued in public. Open a ticket, or write to appeals@vostren.eu to contest a ban.
These rules apply on Nasdara and on Namalsk.
Vostren is a PvP server and kill on sight is allowed. Play fair anyway. In a contested zone, a military zone or an event, everyone shoots. Elsewhere, shooting everything that moves does not bring much: talk, get the radios out, meet people, make alliances, betray them. Nothing forces you to, but it is what makes DayZ feel alive. Abusive kill on sight can be sanctioned.
Fair play
- Cheating. Cheats, macros, scripts and third-party software are forbidden. Permanent ban
- Bug exploits. Duplication, going through walls or terrain, glitching into a base: all of it is forbidden. Report bugs to the staff. Temporary ban
- Combat logging and ghosting. You do not log out in the middle of a fight, and you do not come back behind the enemy by going through another server.
- Alternate accounts. They must not be used to store loot, spy or get around a sanction.
Groups and alliances
- Groups. 6 players at most per group.
- Base. One base per group.
- Raid alliance. 6 players at most, all groups combined. Two alliances fighting on equal terms are tolerated.
Bases
- Flag. You need to place a flag before building anything.
- Size. There is no door limit, but a base must not cover a huge area for no reason. The staff can ask you to make it smaller.
- Distances. No building within 300 m of a military zone, within 400 m of an airfield, or inside a contaminated or toxic zone. Each map also has its own rules, further down. 300 m 400 m
- Access. Do not block roads, bridges, entrances or loot buildings.
- Forbidden builds. No flying or floating base, and no building that exploits a flaw in the map.
Raids
Coming later Raids are not active yet. These rules will apply when they open.
- Hours. Raids are allowed every day from 8 pm to 4 am, Paris time. Outside those hours, destroying or forcing a base is forbidden. 8 pm – 4 am
- Base sitting. Logging out inside another group's base, or against it, to reappear inside or next to it is forbidden. The only exception: you were logged out at that spot before the base was built. You can prove it, or the staff checks the logs.
Events
- Airdrops, loot crates and helicopter crashes. First come, first served. Kill on sight is allowed there, with no restriction.
Vehicles, bugs and refunds
- Vehicles. They are at your own risk. No refund, even after a bug.
- Gear lost to a bug. No compensation is guaranteed. Send a video, it helps us understand what happened. Depending on the case, the staff may decide to compensate you, but it is not owed.
Chat
- Global chat. It is in English.
- French chat. A French chat is available with the Tab key.
Forbidden PvP behaviour
- Stream sniping. Watching a player's stream to find, follow or kill them is forbidden. If it is proven, the ban is immediate. 2-week ban
- Spawn camping. Do not wait at spawn points to kill players. Temporary or permanent ban
- Loot cycling. Do not empty a building onto the ground to force new loot to spawn. Warning or temporary ban

Depending on the facts, a sanction can apply to both servers and to Discord, and suspend VIP or booster perks. The staff can step in for any case these rules do not cover.
- Write to appeals@vostren.eu. Appeals go through email, since a ban can also cut you off from Discord.
- Say who you are. Your in-game name, your Steam ID (SteamID64), your Discord name and the server concerned.
- Explain the facts. The date of the ban, what happened in your view, and your evidence if you have any: video, screenshots.
- Wait for the answer. The team reviews the case and replies by email.
By playing on Vostren, you accept these rules.
