Membership.

  • What happens when I join?
    As a new member you’ll be exempt from the utility fee in the first month that you’re a member. You’ll be able to store your ships, and access your storage but any indepth permissions for bookmarking and such is limited.
  • What do I need to bring as member?
    We require players to be striving to have the following ships with them:

    • Two (2) Scanning ships.
    • Two (2) T1 PVP ships (1x Logi 1x DPS)
    • PVE Ship is highly recommended.
  • Why is there an utility fee?
    It costs money to operate the structures that are used to safely secure your items, and in order to keep ourselves financially able to afford that, we ask everyone to pay 100 million per hangar they rent as an utility fee.
  • What happens if I don’t inform the leadership of being unable to pay in time?
    We’re very RL-friendly but we operate on the principle that everyone is social enough to let us know that you’re unable to meet the payment. Please read our rulebook for more details.
  • How many people do I share a tower with?
    Each tower holds a maximum of six (6) players.
  • How do I get access to my tower?
    Access will be based on password protection. The password for your tower will be delivered to you through an mailing list inside the game, for which the leadership has to give you access.
  • Can I give other people access to my tower?
    No, you are not allowed to share the password of your tower with anyone without the express consent of Alexhandr Shkarov. If you do share your password without permission, we will instantly remove you without retrieval of assets as you’re risking everyone’s assets that way.
  • How do I access my stuff?
    When you get assigned to a tower you’ll be granted a title which enables you access to your division. Only people who possess both the tower password AND share the same division, can access your assets. That’s why password sharing is not allowed.
  • How do I trade with fellow members outside my tower?
    We have an alliance tower as meeting point, use this tower for trades.
  • Are there any taxes?
    We have the following tax format:

    • All our POCO’s are at 1% for members.
    • PVE activities are NOT taxed.
    • PVP activities with 500 million or more in loot will be taxed in accordance to the rulebook (http://www.swamphole.org/guidelines/rules)
