This server has two admins and one mod, all age 28 and above so no need to worry about magical admins flying around hitting players with the stupid-stick. This server is run by 'old guys' and much of our community is made up of 'old guys'. We don't believe in handing out candy so you won't see any of that /give malarky, we play 100% legit (we run bukkit plugins but they are well balanced.) Our server hosting is in a data center in Chicago with access two two power grids, daily backups and unlimited bandwidth so no worrying about poor server upkeep or lag.

Getting Started: There is no whitelist and default user rank is USER/BUILDER so you won't have to fill out some application or sign up on a website, just connect and play. The first thing a lot of players do is ask to join someone's faction. Chances are noone is going to recruit you on day one unless it's their first or second day also. You might want to start your own faction right away, you can do this with the /f create factionname command. There is no cost to creating a faction so there isn't a good reason not to be in a faction since you can claim land, protect your buildings and you gain an extra home teleport by using /f home and /home. You only start with $100 which isn't much so your first task should be finding a spot to settle down, gathering some food so you don't starve to death, and getting your bankroll to a level where you can have a little more freedom. There are a lot of ways to make money on our server, the most common of course is /sell hand. This will sell whatever you are holding, you can also do something like /sell dirt all (to sell all the dirt in your inventory). You can sell to the server for a small amount or you can sell to players for more. One way to sell to players is just to announce something you have for sale then negotiating, but the easier way is to create shops with chests. If you look around outside spawn you'll see a user mall. Shops can be purchased for $5,000 or $20,000 depending on the shop type (Kiosk or Suite), limit 1 per customer. You don't have to buy a shop near spawn to create chest shops, you can do them anywhere, but you're going to have to pay big bucks for a nice shop near spawn. Other ways to make money of course are hiring out your excavating, killing, building services.. playing slot machines.. accepting bounty missions.. playing quests (pay very well, limited times you're allowed to do certain quests).. or if you're pretty hardcore, go find someone's base, kill them, take over their land, then ransom it back to them. Since chests are almost always locked you won't be able to take the loot but they won't be able to access their chests on your land so you are basically at a stalemate until one of you gives in and that's the guy who wants access to his chests 99% of the time.

We recently generated a new world and we're looking for responsible skilled minecrafters who are cool with just chilling, mining and building legit. We also host a TeamSpeak server for voice comm. If this sounds like you, jump on and introduce yourself! This server is running Factions but players are able to protect their belongings indefinitely by locking chests with our LWC plugin, meaning even if a faction takes your land, they won't get your hard-earned swag.

Being an old guy isn't a prerequisite to joining this server but it is preferred, mature young players are welcome too.

RULES: This is a o no warningo server, if anyone is caught cheating.. or heck, even suspected of cheating they are getting the INSTA-BAN HAMMER. Server policy is when in doubt press BAN. Thereo s no shortage of responsible players who would be more than happy to take your place. PVP is allowed, bullying is not. Random occasional killing of another player to take whatever loot he drops is acceptable but killing the same player over and over is not. If you dono t want to be killed on the server, be friendly, join a peaceful faction. My advice to all users, just act like you would in RL and o hopefullyo you wono t get killed.
