MCTradeCraft

Original You Say?

This is the original [citation] TradeCraft server started in 2010 but with major upgrades to the hardware and server version! Note: To those that used to play, the world was reset to accommodate the new biomes and features (horses, villagers etc).

Fair Playing Field

Something you may not be familiar with is fair play. When the founders of this server first envisioned a well oiled Minecraft server, it was before all the games went to "micro-transactions" and feature selling. You will NEVER see this in our server. You will NEVER be able to access something by donating that other players do not already have access to. You will NEVER be able to acquire things/money/gold faster than what other players have access to.

Long story short, while we humbly and graciously accept donations, besides a title and less nag to vote for the server -- you stay on the same level playing field as everyone else.

Oh, might we also mention, donners are equally as subject to warnings, temp-bans, and bans as any other player.

Rules

We know you've seen all the rules out there, respect others, watch your language... etc. We have one real rule:
"Have fun, but not at the expense of others".

Want to talk about another server? Fine, why would any server want to restrict people from discussing other servers other than to selfishly attempt to hoard donations? This is deplorable behavior in our opinions.

How about language? We don't mind exploitative, however crudeness must be tempered. Our mods will likely warn someone several times before banning them and only in the event another player online is either damaged (being a child) or offended.

In case you haven't caught on, the theme of the server is very free-speech, while we won't tolerate abusive behavior, where your speech creates a victim, we do everything possible to promote a community that can say want they want or need without fear of loosing everything they've worked so hard for.

Need to report a cheater or someone breaking the rule? Easy! We have an online web-form that will text every active mod and admin an alert so they can investigate no matter where they are.

Why MCTradeCraft?

You will not ever need go to another server. We have a massive multi-verse world that can satisfy the demands of a few players or a raid of 500+ players.

Spawn is protected and you are forced to read the rules in a "jail" area before relocating to spawn. The area around spawn is a safe no-pvp area to help you get your bearings.

ECONOMY

No RMT (Real Money Transactions) -- we will never allow a player to purchase currency for real money -- NEVER. We will NEVER allow items to be bought for real money. We will NEVER allow features to be bought for real money.

You can earn money in several ways: Player trade, Gold/Diamond turn-ins, Jobs, Dungeons, Running a successful Town, PVP, and killing mobs.

Server Protection

We have several mods and plugins installed to stop or deter cheaters, griefers, or those pesky folks that just make things not as fun.
1. If you engage in pvp combat, quitting will cause an instant death and will unlock your gravestone.
2. If you attempt to fly, you will be kicked.
3. If our anti-xray plugin detects X-Ray is "searching" for ore packets/blocks you will be perma-banned.
4. If you fail logic checks, depending on how many at the time, admins will be notified, you will be kicked, or you will be banned.
5. Server intrusions are protected by ConfigServer and IPTables. If you are trying to flood the server, sending erroneous packets, or fail too many authentication checks, you will be banned and blacklisted on the network level (denied access to over 872 websites, 12 mine-craft servers including MCTradeCraft)

Do We Need Mods?
Eventually we will, as we're just getting the server back up and running we have a very small amount of players. Folks that bug us about becoming a mod, go into a list of "Never gets mod status" -- you've been warned.

Our server is paid for by donations from players and Goldsboro Gaming Club.
