Server Rules

We try to have an open server community that is appropriate for all ages. Because of this, vulgar/inappropriate language is NOT permitted on this server.

If a server admin asks you to watch your language or to use less vulgar language, please listen to them or further action will be taken to handle the issue. Admins have the final say on what goes.

We understand that players have different perspectives of what is and is not offensive. Be respectful of what other players deem inappropriate, even if you think it’s not.

Repeated warnings/command usage for minor offenses is punishable.

Admins are not responsible for items lost in PvP or Bad Trade deals. The only time an admin will intervene regarding lost items is if the items were lost through illegal means. Glitching items out of protected land or illegally killing somebody can result in admin intervention, provided adequate proof is shown.

Players with permission to your land have full access to everything on it. If they take items, this is not considered illegally obtaining items. Admins will not intervene. Be sure only to add people you trust to your land.

Rule of Thumb: Trade with people you trust, for people may screw you out of deals. Basically if your leery about trading with someone DON’T.

To estabish a town, your must build a Town Hall with a Town Rules list in it. All plots in the town are subject to these rules.

The town hall building must be complete to be established. This basically includes a finished structure (walls, roofs, decorations).

The Town Rules will be locked upon completion. You can change these rules with admin permission, but only if it does not affect pre-existing plots.

Town owners have full right over their city and its rules, but this must be stated in the Town Rules. Basically, your rules should include “town owner has the final say over plots and the town”.

This Section covers distance to surrounding Towns and protected land.

• The Land Plugin will make you aware of if you are too close to pre-existing land
• Too close is defined as within 500 tiles
• If you would like to set up a plot within 500 of another plot, you can seek approval from the plot owner in the area
• TOWNS CAN NOT BE SET UP WITHIN 500 TILES OF ANOTHER TOWN
• Rule of Thumb: Be respectful of existing plots in the area before you set up a town.

Can I build my city next to a road?

Yes you can. You can connect a road to an existing road, but remember they are player made. So it might be a good show of respect to contact the road creator/creators and just let them know or even ask if they mind. Someone spent a lot of time building that road, that you now want to use to help your own city.

Building near a road (>50 tiles away) does NOT require permission from the road builder, but it is suggested if you want to not have issues that you do the above mentioned contact. Towns, however, CAN NOT be built right on top of a road unless you have permission.

Requirements to have your Road protected:

• Must be between 3-8 tiles wide
• Must be as straight as possible. No diagonal road protections.
• Overall, the road must connect to a portal hub. Other roads can connect onto a pre-existing road.
• Bridge portions of a road must be supported. No floating roads. Bridges also can’t be water-level.
• Roads must be at least 75% above ground
• Ice-Roads fall under road protection rules

Be aware: PvP is enabled on roads

You are not allowed to sell land you don’t own as land in your city

THIS SECTION WILL BE UPDATED TO REFLECT NEW PLUGIN

Value of city land is estimated at 15 per tile.
Inactive players city land:

• 100 days since last login- land can be bought by city owner for full value

Failure to meet town build rules:

• 7 days- land can be bought back for 3/4
• 14 days- land can be bought back for 1/2
• 21 days- land can be bought back for 1/4

Banned players:
If a player with land in your city is permanently banned, their land becomes null (build-deny flag). The town owner can then buy the land back at city-land price (15/tile) to re-sell it. All chests on the land will be destroyed by an admin.

Helper rooms/buildings:

• Squire: must have a room in the main building
• knight: must have a 10×10
• high-knight: must have a 15×10
• Royal-Guard: must have a 15×15

Basic Helper Rules:

• Helpers to a City can not be of a rank greater than Duke
• If you have a helper, you are not permitted to be a helper to someone else
• You are not allowed to be a helper  to more then one person
• Helpers are the voice of the Ruler of that City. They can sell land, change building rules, evict players, etc. Basically, they can do everything the owner can except sell the city itself.
• In the event of a Ban or the owner going MIA for at least 3 months, the helper or helpers can purchase the city for 50% cost. The other 50% returns to the old Baron, their rank is removed, and the helper steps up as the new Ruler of the city. IF they can not buy the city within a month, the city falls all owned city plots converts to wild.
• The Helper of a city is the only one that can take over a city in the case of the owner being banned or suddenly just leaving the server.

• You can co-own a town with other people, but the maximum amount of co-owners is 3.
• To be a co-owner, you must own at least 3600 tiles each.
• The building slots for the town is proportional to the overall town size.
• Land is refunded based on how much each owner owns, it is not split evenly.

• You can only sell up to 80% of your town land
• One player can only own up to a quarter of the city’s total size (Ex: a 8000 tiles big city can only sell a max of 2000 to one player).
• You can limit a player’s plot if you don’t want to risk him destroying something important (Ex: glass from underwater city/top of underground city). This should be clarified in the town’s build rules.
• You can’t stack plots on top of each-other. Basically, if one person occupies a 10×10, no one else can occupy part of it.

For every CITY sized area you can own another.
In order to have 2 towns, you must have a town already, at least CITY size (30625 tiles – Prince) or more.

Each town you own must be at least 5k tiles from each other.

The maximum number of towns you can own is 4 under any circumstances.

• To form a nation, you must have at least a City (Prince or Higher), and have built an Embassy [The Embassy does not take up any building slots (like the Town Hall)]
• A nation requires at least 2 other towns to form (along with the capital).
• To join a nation, you must pay a 10k entrance fee, and your town must be within 3000 tiles of any town in the nation. You also must have a spot in the embassy. (NOTE: Foundation towns do not need to pay the 10k, only the Embassy setup fee much be payed)
• Having a Nation allows for the use of ‘Nation Building Slots’
  • • Nation Building Slots are separate from regular Building Slots and each cost 15k
    • The first 3 towns (including capital) grant you the Embassy. After that, every 2 new towns grant you a nation slot.
    • Nation Buildings can be built in any of the towns of the nation, with the exception of the Embassy and Keep (must be in the capital).

For a town to leave the nation, they can either get approval from the capital, or they have to declare civil war. In the case of a civil war victory, they are free from the nation.

The admins role is to maintain a server that is fair and fun. If an admin asks you to stop doing things,* then stop. Feel free to express your opinion once but when the admin says the discussion is over, then stop. Failure to do so will result in jailing, followed by a temp ban and ultimately a request that you leave the server (a permanent ban)

*We do not have every rule listed here, if we tried to list every thing we consider to be against the rules, it would be far too long. We as staff recognize that, and will let players know when they are over the boundary of these rules and politely warn them to reign it in. Please do not argue with the admins about whether or not these rules exist. This dissolves the “it is not in the rules” argument.
