Important notices
- This grid is not production-grade; stability and asset retention are not guaranteed.
- When a region is shut down, it is purged and its location becomes available to others.
- Regions not responding for more than 24h may be purged by an admin or automation.
- We do our best to accommodate everyone, but keeping your region running is your responsibility.
