Recruitment

Nations may not recruit, solicit, or invite a new player to join their nation within the first 24 hours after that player first joins the server. This gives new players time to settle in, explore the world, meet the community, and decide what interests them without immediately being overwhelmed by recruitment. We want players to experience MoleCraft for themselves before being asked to choose a nation. Additionally, recruitment of any kind is not permitted during new-player tours. Please do not interrupt or accompany a tour for the purpose of advertising a nation, extending an invitation, or encouraging a player to join. Once the 24-hour period has passed, nations are welcome to introduce themselves and recruit normally.

V. Amendments

This Charter may be amended during a World Summit by majority vote.

Charter last updated: August 2026

This Charter stands as a living document and may evolve as the Nations do.
