ideologies, plural

Visionary speculation, esp. of an unrealistic or idealistic nature.

Here at Macropolis, ideology equates to realism. This is a server built on over 14 months of professionalism, refinement, community and the knowledge to push beyond the means of standard building, exceed expectations and for each project to be worn not as a minor accomplishment, but, to be worn as a medal, and to have a real sense of satisfaction to those involved.

And every player shares that idea, this is what causes there to be such a strong sense of community and incredibly passionate creators. Here, we all share the desire to rise above the standard styles of building, we each push our abilities to a limitless point, all in different and unique ways. No other server can offer such refinement and beauty than Macropolis does, and no other server can match the originality of Macropolis.

To sum it up:

• Dedicated server, 24/7 hosting.
  
  
• Monsters and mobs enabled, but often dependent on area.
  
  
• Creepers Explode without damaging terrain.

With over a year of being a live server, Macropolis has seen many changes and additions in terms of projects, buildings and varying types of architecture. However, due to the size and scale of the many worlds, people have so much to choose from. Where else can you find a giant hourglass right beside a beautifully made galleon ship? Gigantic tombs to explore? Huge cities, from coliseums in desert-towns to some surrounded by massive forests. It's all here, so many people have been a part of this server and so many have left, over the course of it's life, around 2500 people have come and gone.

And each person has left a part of their development, which makes this a portal of inspiration to involve yourself with. People come to Macropolis merely to look at the buildings and projects, as it is indeed such a vast area to be inspired by. And many of those people that visit, choose to apply and hopefully stay. So many people here build to such exact and professional standards, and in their eyes, perhaps there isn't any room for the casual builder.

However, in Macropolis, development is also an important aspect of architecture. A lot of people choose to build together, being inspired by one another whilst building. There are often projects that many community members begin themselves, often asking for help from other people. Whether you are team-based or a lone-wolf, professional-builder or a casual one, Macropolis is definitely your home.

Here, no one will mock your buildings, only offer help if you wish it, and you are therefore free to do as you please, without fear of your work being destroyed or laughed at, sounds ideal, doesn't it? And, to further expand on player builds, all buildings will be safe, there is a strictly NO-GRIEFING policy, and, should there ever be such things on a player's honest work, those responsible will be banned, without question, and a rollback shall be provided.

If you aren't allowed to develop your ideas, how can you add to Macropolis? That's why such extensive protection is offered, because we want you to become a part of this place, and we want you to return the favour by showing the world that you are a truly magnificent builder. Because, if you're reading this, you must have the potential to be. The best thing about the projects in this server? Practically every single one is built from gathering resources and building, block-by-block.

So, where can you see the incomparable scope of projects and buildings? Absolutely anywhere, and, there are so many places to explore and plenty of terrain types to build in.
Originally, there were several worlds that had to be traveled to through portals to get to, recently, these worlds have been combined, however, they all still exist in their original sizes, and such choices, too! Currently, you will be generously treated with:

(Aquatica) A large ocean-world, with water as high as the tallest mountains,
(Fantasia) A beautifully captivating and scenic world, that feels enchanting just from being there,
(Nemesis) A foreign world, made purely of stone, and under the surface, a tonne of minerals to find,
(Aether) Although unofficial, this is the collection of many floating sky-islands, just like the Skylands,
(Deadlands) An area of endless sands and scorching heat, perfect for you Indiana-Jones types,
...And many others!

Despite the fact that these are combined into one world, they very much feel as secluded as they originally were. Each section is divided by a giant, endless gap, and so, players will have a tough time truly seeing that it there's one big world.
Furthermore, we do have a completely separate world, titled 'Makkrata', that is a fully vanilla experience for those players that prefer to survive, than to build.

Along with the original world (Delta7), with many sub-worlds (as mentioned above) and 'Makkrata', there's also a corresponding 'End' world, for both Delta7 and Makkrata, plus individual Nether-Realms!

A server is nothing without a strong player-base, and Macropolis is one of the best you can find. Everyone works in harmony with one another, doing as they please, when they please. Here, you won't be mocked or laughed at for building something, as it's a part of development, it's encouraged. Nobody will stop you or tell you you shouldn't build, because that's absurd. We are all unique in what we do, and this goes as far as your style in Minecraft.

And how else would this server be so varied if it wasn't for the thousands of projects that people have started and finished? You want to add to it, and we want you to. Every member here is stressed to be polite and well-mannered. There is also a strictly NO-GRIEFING policy, which has no exceptions whatsoever, if someone destroys a project of yours, they WILL be banned after each aspect of the occurrence is known. And rollback will be provided. If a rollback isn't found, each player will be glad to help rebuild what's been destroyed.

You are safe to build exactly how you like here, the admins and moderators will NEVER destroy what you've worked so hard to create. Same goes for our long-time members. We want you to add to this already huge world, we want a part of your unique style in Macropolis, it's what makes this server so special.

Aside from each person being well-mannered, helpful and friendly, they are all led under a wonderfully determined and passionate administration and moderator team. No one will be out-of-line, because this isn't a server in which there are unnecessary squabbles and arguments. We all enjoy playing the game equally, if you want to relax or if you want to build something tremendous that exceeds your very own expectations, you're definitely more than welcome to.

Our server has many plugins that enhance the overall game-play of Minecraft, without being overly-obtrusive. Although the community here is full of people that don't necessarily need a large amount of game-play alterations, it's nice to have at least a few plugins, of the major ones, we have:

mcMMO,
SignShops,
BOSEconomy,
Jobs,

You may be thinking, there are not too many plugins, however, these are enough to enhance everything, and, although these are the only plugins that I felt were worth mentioning, we have over 20 others, each there to slightly add to the game, all combining with one another to make a completely different experience from the regular vanilla that you've so often tried.

---

Worth mentioning would be our expansive knowledge and use with World Edit & World Guard, regions are always being created and defined, each for their own purposes. Since this is a server full of innovative people, we don't need many other plugins. To give an example, a current project that is in development is guilds, without any plugins necessary for the development of it. Each guild will require quests to be completed, and each guild will function differently from the next.

These ideas can range from region-defined PvP or mob arenas, to restricted access VIP areas, and we already know what can be built within Minecraft without using anything at all, which is why we aim to go one above.

It is difficult to say 'Fire is disabled', due to the fact that, although it may be disabled somewhere, it's enabled somewhere else. The only, fully global flags are Creeper-Explosions, everything else, you'll just have to discover for yourself. More rights and allowances can be purchased with the in-game currency, for example, if you want a private region that will not get griefed, you can purchase one.

Additional Notes
