  • Offering goods, services, or opportunities unrelated to the gameplay experience on our server.
  • Sharing referral links, affiliate codes, or invitations to external platforms.

We understand that players may wish to share content or opportunities with the community, such as items for sale or trades. To facilitate such interactions, we have designated channels, such as #market, where players can post advertisements for in-game items, trades, or services related to EnderForge gameplay. Please utilize these channels appropriately and refrain from advertising in other areas of the server.
