Play fairly, treat others with respect, and use common sense. These rules protect the community and everyone's time invested in the game.
Welcome
Our goal is to provide a fair, enjoyable, and respectful Old School RuneScape experience for every player. These rules exist to protect the integrity of the game, the community, and the time invested by everyone who plays.
By creating an account and logging into BoomPS, you agree to follow these rules at all times. Failure to comply may result in warnings, temporary restrictions, or permanent removal from the server depending on the severity and frequency of the offence.
While every effort is made to apply punishments consistently, staff reserve the right to adjust punishments where circumstances require.
Our Punishment System
BoomPS primarily follows a progressive discipline system. Minor offences are normally dealt with through warnings before stronger action is taken. Repeated offences demonstrate a disregard for the rules and will result in increasingly severe punishments.

Stage 1 โ Verbal Warning
A moderator will explain which rule has been broken and ask you to stop.
This warning is informal and intended to educate players.

An official warning is recorded against your account.
Future punishments will consider any previous warnings.

Stage 3 โ Temporary Restriction
Depending on the offence, staff may issue:

Temporary account suspension
The duration depends on the severity of the offence.
