Communications Protocol

Terms of Service for use of the Communications System

Last Updated: July 31, 2026

Please read the following terms and conditions carefully.

By accessing the chat system you (the User) are agreeing to be bound to these terms of service in addition to the terms of service for Dead Zone Revive (the Service). If you do not wish to be bound by these terms of service, you may not access or use the chat system.

You represent that you are of legal age to form a binding contract (if not, you are required to consult a parent or legal guardian). The online chat system (communications system) is provided as an in-game service for Dead Zone Revive, and as such is governed by the Service's overarching Terms and Conditions. The chat system covers all forms of communication including, but not limited to, public conversations, private messaging, alliance organisation, player names and trades.

As the chat system is a public space, it is required that users conduct themselves in a respectable manner.

The following is a general guide to topics and behaviours that will not be tolerated within the chat system:

Inappropriate, non-game related chat
Inappropriate user names
Abusive language
Aggressive behaviour
Sharing of personal information and/or sharing of account details
Discussions of a sexual nature
Links to inappropriate material of a sexual or graphic nature
Discussions of an extreme or inciting nature
Discussions of or relating to illegal activity
Racial or religious slurs and attacks
Bigotry
Any discussion of rape
Threats of physical violence or death
Spamming
Trolling
Discussion of or requesting hacks / exploits
Deliberately spreading false information
Use of the trade rooms for public conversations
Use of the public room for trade negotiations
Abuse or trolling of the moderators or developers
Bad word filter testing
Insinuation of hacking / cheating / manipulation of systems
Solicitation, sale or discussion of the sale of in-game items outside of the Service
Solicitation, sale or discussion of the sale of Accounts
Abuse or misuse of the Report function
Threatening to report other users for any reason whatsoever
Collusion with the goal of having another player banned

Reporting

Please report instances of the above infractions when it is warranted. Reports will be reviewed periodically by the Dead Zone Revive staff and appropriate action will be taken. False reports and reports of no consequence will be met with bans for the User making the report.

Strike System

3 Strikes and you're out. Players who are banned from the game for violations of the above terms or the more general terms of service will be given a Strike. With each additional strike, the length of the ban will increase, until the final strike. At this point, the account is banned permanently.

Strikes

Any violation of the above terms will result in a Strike.

1st Strike — 24 hour ban
2nd Strike — 4 week ban
3rd Strike — Permanent ban

In cases where behaviour by the User is deemed to be in severe violation of these terms, the Dead Zone Revive staff will apply a Permanent Ban.

Failure to follow the above guidelines can result in disciplinary action which ranges from being given a Strike, to deletion of your game account.

Please note that this is a basic guideline for your benefit and should by no means be considered a complete list. This document may be updated at any time and it is your responsibility to ensure that you have been exposed to its changes. Administrators, moderators and developers will apply and enforce punishments as they see fit, with or without prior warning.

If you are banned from the chat system, some or all associated accounts will also be banned. Entering the chat system with an alternative account (alt) while banned will result in a ban for the alt account of similar or increased severity.

Dead Zone Revive may suspend, terminate, modify, or delete any account, user or player at any time for any reason or for no reason, with or without notice to you.
