Everything about our server, from the plugins we use, to ore locations and farming rates, were customised from the ground up to facilitate the Nation and Politics aspect. Ores themselves are limited to certain parts of the map, requiring travel or trade with others. Animals breed, and crops grow, only in certain biomes and at different rates in others, again to facilitate trade. Land is not just something you settle; it is a commodity and precious for its own reasons.
We have a custom profession plugin allowing you to specialize in certain aspects of play. Becoming a Researcher will unlock certain enchantments others can’t get; the better the researcher the better the enchantments, until eventually you reach a pinnacle in which you can sell your craft to others. None of our professions limit the vanilla aspect of minecraft we all know and love, and instead expand upon those aspects, offering more in player interaction and socialization.
We have an active and mature staff team as we strive to continue to hold that value of maturity. People expect to play fair, Minecraft is a game, and a game we all love and enjoy; our goal is to continue to allow our players to enjoy that in as fair an environment as possible. Upon our server, when dealing with staff, you are not just a name on the internet, you’re a person, a human, someone who has invested time and energy, we treat you as such.
