LOOKING FOR BETA PLAYERS AND STAFF
Staff: Don't ask us, we'll ask you if we're interested.


Welcome!
You’re probably wondering, where is the rule list? Well we don’t work that way. We have put together a post full of “Everything you need to know” per say. Most of this info is must know info – so please be awake enough to comprehend, you late night gamers.

Lore:

Spoiler

"GO” Neil, your best friend whispered. "You can get out!”

"Neil I can carry you!”
"Get out of here now! Hurry! There is NO time! GO!”
You watch the land slide under Neil as he lies on the ground, burned too much to walk. "Neil!” You scream, choking on your words as you watch your friends demise.
"HAHAHAHA” A loud booming voice cackled… not out loud it seemed. It felt to be in your head. "You wouldn’t leave your little friend would you?” Loud cracks and rocks crushing where booming behind you.

"Don’t you dare listen to him – GO!” Screamed Neil. You were stuck between friendship and your life. You can get back your life…

"After all he did to get you here? Oh c’mon, tsk tsk.” The demonic voice taunted you.

"Wake up! GET OUT OF HERE!” Neil cried out these words as walls crushed behind you deciding your fate. You had to go. "NOW”


"I’ll try not to forger you Neil – I’ll find a way to save you I promise!”
"Brothers?”
"Always”

The cave shuck "You can turn around, I’ll forgive you just turn around.” The voice still taunted. You began running. "You’ll never escape – you’ll be back…”

"Burn in Hell!” You ran faster, avoiding flames and falling rocks. You were so close, you just had to push a bit harder.



"You will all be back… Your escape is only temporary! You’re creating your own misery.” The voice laughed.

"You ARE misery!” You could see the way out – a dark whole into nothing.

"I’ll spare you the torture – TURN AROUND NOW.” His voice boomed, shaking the cave and knocking rocks from the ceiling. You ran, ready to jump in… ready to escape.


"HA! FINE! You will suffer! You will all suffer!”

You jump, a rush of air shooting up your spine like a thousand winds. You’re falling into the darkness, with the faint deep voice of the demon behind you. An explosion erupts and the cave shatters- rocks flying in every direction… fading… fading in your vision… it all goes black. Neil- where I Neil? Neil… Neil… Who’s Neil?
You wake up in warm, dark water. You look around and you see vines covering the walls around you. You jump, shocked of your new surroundings, water splashes in your startle. Wait a minute. New? Are they new? You can't remember. You see stairs that lead out of the dark pool of water and a monk reaching for you hand. "Vince we got a new one..." A tall man walks up, beard as dark as the sky above you and a tone to his voice that could calm the undead... Undead... What are the undead and why do they sound so... familiar? The Monk helps you out of the pool, helping you stand as you can barely walk and covering you in a dark cloth to dry you off... The Monk sits you down on a stone and the tall man, Vince, kneels down beside you.
"I’m Vince and I’ll be your guide today." He greeted. "Don’t be scared – We all understand the shock you’re in and the questions you have.” He said in a stern but concerned voice. "You’re still wet from arriving through the temple… Let’s get you into some clothes and next to a fire – You’re hungry I suppose?” You hesitate, but your stomach gives in, forcing you to nod.
"They always are. They must not feed you where you come from.”
✞-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-✞
Vince explains all that you wanted or think you wanted to know. You catch tales of war, betrayal, broken treaties and angels. So many angels were running in panic... Your mind goes back to one of the tales he told.
"A long time ago in this land, there was a thousand year treaty between all kingdoms. The people flourished and the kingdoms were filled with peace, but of course such peace doesn't last forever. The treaty was broken 50 years in, by a corrupted angel, now known as Blare. Wars broke out, and thousands of people died with each passing day. The angels came fourth vowing to make things better and return the lives that where lost, and this is where you come in. You are one of many that lost their life in this war, but the angels were able to bring you and many others back, 1000 years after the war, using an ancient temple and a once forbidden ceremony. Everyone you knew or loved is gone, but the angels spared you the painful memories, so that explains why you can't remember anything but your name.
Now... Kingdoms have split between two. Humans, dwarfs, Centaurs and Elf's formed the Alliance in hope to ban together against evil... Of course, those of evil wouldn't stand for this. They formed their own alliance, called the Horde, in detest of our efforts..."

Building your empire:

Spoiler

Crafting your empire will be a tedious task should you take it on.
Firt off I’d like to explain, building empire will take time. In fact this post isn’t even about empires – building anything, towns, villages, kingdoms and yes empires.
So what differs a kingdom from a town from a village? No fancy titles, but the way you’ve built. If you’ve built a kingdom and have the land and builds to say so, then you’ve built a kingdom.
If you and your friend spend a day online, finish you wall, your homes and your farms- then let me tell you ahead of time, take it down.
Don’t be afraid to spend all day on just your wall, or home even. Research into what your town theme will be – use picture references and open a discussion in the forums even! There you can post photos and promote your town. So again, take your time and really get to know what you’re building.
You will not log on for the first time and claim your land, so let me get that questions out of the way. It takes time to gain the Crosses, the friends (it’s best to start a town in a team!) and the materials. So when you log on for the first time – join a town.
Then begin your quest for imperial reign!

Town cost:

Spoiler

New towns cost 250,0000Crosses to found.
Town outposts cost 1000Crosses each to claim.
Claiming town blocks cost 250Crosses each.
Nations cost 1000000Crosses to found.

A king’s job is never finished:

Spoiler

So now let’s say you’re a king, you may set laws for you land and make decisions. You are also responsible to be active in the world of RedCross. You are very much held responsible for the land around your kingdom. If you find a wild build or rule breaking path to close to your town, then you’re responsible for it as well is the citizen who built it. You are to leave a demand for destruction. If we find it: you will both be fined based on your town/personal income.
It’s also your job to keep things inside your kingdom up to par. You should know the CT well enough to know when your citizens are breaking a rule. You should be a skilled enough builder, to leave tips and feedback for your citizens.
And yes, we have town inspections. You will not know when an Angel, Elite or even the Owner is flying over your town, inspecting your homes and kingdom surroundings; we are invisible.
Are you ready for the responsibility of a king? Don’t cringe though, being a king is one of the most fun RP’s in all of RedCross. Every inspection you make will be worth it.
If you are inactive for three+ months, your property is eligible to fall into ruin. Your town will stay, but the Elite team will age your town for your absence… Things will begin to fall apart, die, vines will take over, and nature will begin to take back.

Building:

Plugins:

Spoiler

We use Craftbook to help you in advancing on your builds. You may research Craftbook on YouTube for great lessons in gates, “vehicles”, “elevators” and much more.

Making paths:

Spoiler

2 blocks wise = a trail. Trails are allowed in wild as long as they have a purpose.
3 blocks wide = a path. Paths are allowed in wild as long as they serve a purpose.
4 blocks wide = a small road. Small roads are not allowed in wild except near (within 25 blocks) of your town. (within 50 blocks for Kingdoms)
5+ blocks wide = a road. Roads are only aloud in towns and kingdoms.

Bridges:

Spoiler

Bridges are allowed in the wild, we ask all bridges to be around an average of 3 or 5 (or 10 sometimes!) wide.
If a bridge is any smaller, it should have a reason for being so small and pointless and be in an area where that makes sense.
If a bridge must succeed over 10 blocks wide and 20 blocks tall, immediately speak with an Elite for a building permit.
Bridges inside your kingdom may reach as big as you can imagine.

Farms:

Spoiler

First let me start by stating what type of farms are not allowed. Farms we do not allow are basic MineCraft square/rectangle farms (NPC Villages for example)Please make your farm with the land and not against it. Give it shape, curve even. Have water ways in your farm (depending on size) Have sections of farm (depending on size) and even have farm houses and areas.
We’re an RP server, which means you’re building a community not a player base.

Lighting:

Spoiler

Here at RedCross we don’t want you to just pop a torch on a wall and be glad it does its job. We want lighting to be an accessory to your town. Use items besides just torches and glowstone.
Items that emit light: Torches, glowstone, redstone torch, redstone lamp, fire, magma.
Though, bringing the density down a bit, placing torches on a wall or on top of a fence can totally be an effective lighting source if you know where to place them correctly to create a look appeal.

Oh and something to take note on, when I ask does a build have a purpose? I mean, does it have a story behind it? Is it conveyed in the build? Yes? Then it has a purpose.

Race info

Spoiler

Humans: They are exceptionally good at divination. They crave forbidden knowledge. They worship an organized pantheon of gods and goddesses. The god of strength is especially important to them. They run a Monarch like Democracy. In result of his power, their King who goes by the Red king, believes he owns all of RedCross

Dwarfs: Dusky skinned and dark haired. Famous for their banks. They are naturally good at weather and fire magic. They dislike wearing clothing. Their government is a representative democracy that is inefficient. They barely control a grassland kingdom that has been devastated by war, forcing them underground. All of their land is not their own, belonging to Liria.

Elves: Fare haired and warm eyed, they can see in the dark. They are extremely intelligent and mainly atheist. Known for their medicine and alchemy. They are especially good in elemental magic, having potions to make trees grow 30x in size, concluding why they live in one. Their government is a dictator ship, ran by the most skillful alchemist who goes by the Queen of nature. The Gods have abandoned the Elves for their ignorance. But play and tease them when looking for entertainment - driving some Elves insane.

Centaurs: In their culture cooking is a highly prized ability. They are well known for their music and rich cuisine. They are governmentless, living off the outskirts of Liria under the Red Kings rule, who doesn't tax them, due to their royalty in wars. They seem to have a special purpose in the world. They live in scattered camps around Liria.

Undead: They have an affinity for war. They worship a hierarchy pantheon of Gods and Goddesses. The Goddess of Wisdom is especially important to them. They believe the powers that be are intimately involved with their lives. Most religious activities are disorganized, no churches but a few shrines and temples. Their Government is extremely corrupt. Their king rages war after war – pointlessly killing his own med in the process. His entertainment consists of kidnap and torture. They are a magical mutation of another race.

Werewolves: They are noted for their drugs and armor. They avoid all magic, including Elves. Though they don’t avoid plant magic and envy the Elves for their use of it. They worship a single God. Most are though, non-religious. Not atheist, but this does explain their lack of religious structures. They barely control a forest country that requires regular sacrifices to certain dark powers in order to maintain its prosperity. They are the decedents of demons.

Deformatities: They are pale skinned with strange ears. Reincarnation is normal for them and part of their culture. They avoid all kinds of magic except water magic. They are highly creative. They turned their backs on their old Gods in order to follow darker ones. The deities that created them in turn abandoned them. They completely own the swampy state.

Demons: They have only a single eye and fanged mouths. They are very long lived. Their magical practices tend to focus on necromancy. They keep their promises even if it means death. Their government is an aristocracy. They are ruled by the one true evil. They tend to trick other members of the horde to do their dirty work. They can get others into allot of trouble with their trickery.
