Welcome to Era of Iron, a server that is based around strategy and skill. Why strategy? With a multitude of armor based classes with different abilities for each, it leaves your team's play style up to you. Also, there are several items that provide certain potion abilities.

- No Nether
- No Land Claiming (But we have Factions for Ally/Enemy)

When you first join...
You will spawn in a 250 block radius around 0,0 (The Market of Elders). I suggest you create a clan (/c) and begin venturing out. When you have enough gear begin mining, then take the ores and travel to 0,0 to trade for better items. *Watch out*, even the Market is PvP enabled, so I suggest bringing friends. If you are going alone craft a full suit of leather and you will receive the Archer class (Speed 1 and Weakness 2 will be activated until you take it off). Run in, find what you need, and get out.
After that begin reinforcing your structures by taking one piece of stone and left clicking a block. You can decide to build over or underground, the choice is yours. After that use the [dynmap](eraofiron.teamspeak3.com:5970) to begin looking for bases.
This server is dependent on you, the player. The direction of the server is controlled by you! Admins have no say in any activities that goes on. So if you want to become an underground clan of bandits attacking unprotected bases, go ahead. If you want to become a massive empire that will rule the land, conquering smaller clans as you go, go ahead. If you want to be a simple trader who sets up secure player-trade centers, go ahead. If you want to be the best banker on the server, go ahead. If you want to make a band of mercenaries, go ahead. If you want to be a simple farmer, go ahead. There is merit in every play style. And it is up for you to choose.

Server Mechanics


Building
We use a plugin called BlockSaver that allows players to use stone to reinforce their blocks. This means that big castle that you've been wanting to build can be a dream come true. We hope players will only attack bases when the enemy team is online, but if they do attack when they aren't on we use an anti-xray plugin to assure they won't be able to find your items unless they put the work into it.


Shops
We use Villagers to help us manage our market. The main currency is nether stars, but that can change. At 0,0spawn you'll find items in different village shops.

Spawn
When you first spawn, you spawn 250 blocks around 0,0. Everywhere is PvP enabled.

Teleportation 
There is NONE!!!

Factions?
There is no land claiming or setting of home, but we use it just for relationships (/c).

Bounties 
Done by hand, just shoot me up a message.

When your faction has more than 3 players in it, message an Admin (BodaciousWhale) with your banner design to create it for you.
