Teaming Up with Reds
The rules for playing with "reds" (enemies) in ARCH are as follows:
1. You are allowed to play with reds and team up with them, but under no
circumstances are you allowed to help them in any way, including healing or
shielding. The only way you can assist your fellow reds is by giving them speed
boosts to help them escape (carpet).
2. If an ARCH player engages in a fight with your friends, you can help them escape
by giving them a speed boost (carpet) ONLY. You must then leave the area and
keep ARCH players off-screen.
3. Exceptions to these rules include PVP instances such as HG, Mists, CGVG, and
CD, where you can team up with reds to kill ARCH players.
4. Breaking these rules will result in heavy fines and even permanent blacklisting
from the alliance.
Reporting ARCH KILLING
1. Evidence such as a combat log and/or video of who initiated the fight.
2. Evidence such as a combat log and/or video of the ARCH player assisting reds in
ways that are not allowed during the fight.
3. Killboard can be just an addition to the rest of the evidence provided.
This will help the guild leaders and ARCH police to investigate and take appropriate
action. It is important that all evidence is accurate and clearly shows the infraction,
as false reporting can also lead to penalties.
Please keep in mind that Albion is a PVP-focused game, and as a member of
the ARCH, it is important to prioritize the alliance's interests over personal
relationships with red players, police have the final decision on cases.If you
want to play with reds, we recommend doing so in areas where there are no
ARCH players present.
