About the Union
A network for people who'd rather not get griefed
The Union Gaming Network is a community of players who got tired of public-server chaos. Every server is whitelisted, the rules are the same on all of them, and the people enforcing those rules are members rather than the company that owns the hardware. Signup is open to anyone; the servers themselves are added slowly and deliberately.
How the Union works
One account, everywhere
Your Union account is your identity here. The same account works across community chat, voice calls, every Union server, and the network as a whole. No separate signups, no scattered passwords.
Members moderate
Moderators are members, appointed to a role and able to have it removed. Day-to-day enforcement is theirs; network bans, evasion tracking and appeal decisions need a head moderator, deliberately a smaller group. Infrastructure access is a separate role that carries no moderation power at all.
Short. Enforced. Visible.
Every server publishes its rules openly on its own page. If you can't read them in 30 seconds they're too long. Material changes go through the membership before they land. The same rules apply to staff.
What "community-shaped" means in practice
Members propose changes
Want a new rule? A change to an existing one? A different game added? Bring it to the community chat — that is where it gets discussed and where material changes are announced before they take effect, rather than appearing on a page one day with no warning.
Decisions are documented
Every sanction is recorded with who issued it, why, and when — including the ones later lifted, which stay on the record as lifted rather than vanishing. Members can see their own standing and the outcome of reports they filed. Accountability is a feature, not a paragraph in a policy doc.
The store funds the servers
Ranks and perks are one-time purchases covering cosmetics and convenience — name colours, particles, pets, and more homes and land claims. Money goes to hosting and tooling so the network stays self-sustaining instead of begging Patreons.
The Union scales by reputation
New servers are added carefully. A server is added when there are members who want it and people who'll run it — not because admin thinks the genre is trending. A small network you can trust beats a sprawling one you can't.
What it isn't
Not a hosting business
You can't buy a server from the Union. Game-server hosting is offered separately by Reptile Industries Systems. The Union is a community that has servers, not a company that sells them.
How the store works
Ranks are sold, and they are honest about what they do: bigger cosmetic pools, more homes, more land claims, flight in the hub. Ranks give no gear, no resources, no kill advantage, nothing that decides a fight. Supply Drops are the one thing sold that hands out items, and they are a random-item purchase: a drop gives keys to everyone online (not just the buyer), and each key rolls one random reward, which can be currency, protection stones, items or, rarely, a rank voucher for that one server. The full list and the exact odds are on each server's store page. If something in a store crosses the line, say so and we'll pull it.
Not a free-for-all
Public servers are a coin-flip. This isn't — everyone here is a linked account with a history attached. Griefing, harassment and hate speech get acted on, with a recorded reason, and the serious ones apply across the whole network at once. The rules page spells out exactly what happens.
The relationship with Reptile Industries
The Union Gaming Network is operated by Reptile Industries — they run the hardware, the orchestration, and the underlying infrastructure that keeps the network online. The Union itself is governed by its members. Reptile Industries handles operations; the membership handles direction.
Need actual game-server hosting for your own community, not membership in this one? That's a Systems conversation.

Create an account and you're in — that's the whole sign-up. The same login works across chat, voice, and every server, on the web or in the desktop app.
