Rules
- Respawns: 1 life per player – no respwaning unless it’s a technical issue
- Gameplay recording: For your protection, we recommend utilizing Xsplit Gamecaster to record your experience. These recordings can be submitted to admins as evidence in the event of a gameplay dispute. The choice not to record leaves a player no option to dispute gameplay as there is no body of evidence to go on. It’s always a better idea to record.
- Disconnection: Any player has the option of connecting to our servers, which run 24/7, and testing his connection out prior to game day. If the player chooses to connect and test, Medius Admins will be available to provide technical assistance to players to ensure that any connection faults are addressed and remedied as much as possible prior to game day. Our internet connection here at Medius is a business SLA 100 Mbps down, 20 Mbps up (usually more like 23-25 Mbps up) and our servers are wired via CAT 6 to a professional Cisco switch, so on our end, there really shouldn’t be anything causing a problem. Any disconnection issues will very likely be player-side. There will be few “Reinstatement Slots” that people aren’t allowed to use to join in without permission from admins. If you experience a disconnection, the correct procedure is to reach for an admin on TeamSpeak, explain what happened and ask for permission to rejoin
