Hi there, this is my frequent questions to all servers:



How is the PVP in your server? Is something we can turn off and on? There are specific areas with pvp? Or every where is PVP?


   Now the question more important: how do you deal with griefers/thiefs? Do you use mods or plugins to prevent this kind situation? Do you use the plugin server “GriefPrevention”?

Hello!



The server basically works a bit like a "minigame" server, but there is only 1 game: castle siege. Every round lasts between 15 minutes and an hour, and players split into two teams: attackers and defenders. It happens around castles or towns, usually, and there is a set of checkpoints where the battle is happening. Every time the attackers capture a checkpoint, the defenders retreat to the next one and the battle moves further.



We have one of the most advanced cheat detection plugins in Minecraft developped in-house by Cotander.

Is the server "dead"? Like, does it have players? Or does it never have any player?

The players aren't necessarily online 24/7, however a couple of times per week, especially on European evenings, there are nice play sessions.



On our Discord server you can grab the @Online role that gets pinged when a game is going with 10+ players



On specially organized events we get around 80 players.

Dang, this server was soooo much fun! Such a shame for it to be gone. Many long nights of playing on these maps, playing some great matches.
