  3. Fences and small walls on the parcel border are allowed as long as they are not disruptive of the region appearance and theme.
  4. Light terraforming is allowed when the appearance of the region remains.
We reserve the right to approve any structure deemed unacceptable to our region standards. We are easy going and want your stay here to be enjoyable, therefore, we ask that you use common sense and it should not be an issue. When you have doubt or a question as to whether something is allowed, please contact a member of the Imperial Estates staff for assistance.

Code of Conduct

The following Code of Conduct applies to our residential regions:

  1. Be respectful to your neighbors and Imperial Estates Staff.
  2. No littering of objects on land of other residents.
  3. No harassment or stalking of any kind.
  4. The use of objects, HUDs, or scripts that shout messages over the region is forbidden.

  8. Breeding animals are allowed if movements and sounds are turned off and lag stays under control.
  9. Pets (Non-Breeding) are allowed if they do not collide with objects and movement is turned off when no one is on the parcel.

All security orbs must be set with a minimum warning time of 10 seconds. Be sure to set the scan range to only scan within your parcel and do not invade a neighbor’s lands.

  1. On putting a plot up for sale, the weekly or monthly tier associated with ownership of the plot must be explicitly mentioned in the description field under “About Land”.
  2. Any ‘Land For Sale’ signs must be of reasonable size so as not to harm the appearance of the region.
  3. In case tier payment is overdue on a plot, that plot cannot be put up for sale under any circumstances.
  4. Within 24 hours after the sale of your plot, you are required to contact Imperial Estates staff to let us know the buyer’s name so that we can proceed with tier collection from the buyer.
