Server Description and Rules

If you're looking for a professionally hosted and administered server, you've come to the right place. The staff here is looking to provide you with the most raw minecraft experience, without the usual shoot-lightning-out-of-your-arse nonsense other servers are overloaded with. We strive to keep things as simple and user-driven as possible, so that your experience here is what you make of it, not what we restrict you to do. What have you got to lose? Read our description below and give us a shot!

A Few Simple Rules

1. No cheating of any kind. This includes x-ray, flying, or any mod that gives you a pvp advantage.
   
2. No leaving random patches of water/lava on the map, 1x1 towers, nor obscene block art around spawn.
   
3. No racism, fascism, spamming, or excessive language. Fight with your sword, not with your mouth!

By Adults, for Adults!

• If you are not at least 18 years of age, please do not ask to be whitelisted.
  
• If you are suspected of lying about your age, you may be subjected to random verification over teamspeak 3 or skype. We are trying to create a mature playing environment, so we ask that you please be willing to comply if you really want to play here.
  
• Excessive nagging, hideous spelling/grammar, or just all-around annoying behavior might put your age in question. Please use common sense, and remember you are supposed to be an adult.
  
• Do not rage or throw the usual 12-year-old fits about losing all your stuff or being killed. Suck it up and move on.
  
• We are all adults, but this is also a game and we like to have fun and joke around. You must be able to take jokes in chat, some fooling around, and adult subjects. We are not the chat police, if you dont like someone's comments, use the /ignore feature.

Stuff Worth Noting..

• We use anti-xray to hide ore and chests from cheaters. Type /tips in-game to learn how to hide stuff.
  
• Logging out during combat will leave behind a killable npc that will drop your items. Log off when safe!
  
• Damage to blocks by any kind of explosion (TnT, Creeper, etc) and fire spread are disabled.
  
• We have in-game clans and a party system to facilitate cooperation and private chatting.
  
• There is no land protection/claiming on this server. Raiding is allowed.
  
• We have a very small and simple spawn only meant for safe spawning. Forget confusing city-mazes!
  
• Zombie Pigmen in the nether are aggressive to add some difficulty.
  
• The map is 15k x 15k big!
