Whitelisting Questions

How to get whitelisted?
You can apply by clicking the "apply" button next to the forum at the top of the page, or by following this link.

How long does it take till I am whitelisted?
It typically takes about 1-3 days for your application to be reviewed. It may take slightly longer as we only have a certain amount of volunteers to review all of the applications, someone will get to you very soon. 

 

If your application is set to "Pending," please make sure the fixes are done within the allocated period. You will be contacted via Discord/Forums regarding your application, but remember to check the forums periodically for any updates on your application.

 

I'm stuck in the lobby / I can't log on!
Check to see if you're on 1.21.5. If you are on 1.21.5 and still cannot log on, reach out to a Community Team Member on the forums or Discord. Sometimes it can help to join through the server lobby too. The IP is lobby.lotc.co, from there just do /main! 

 

Help! I am stuck on this application Question!
If you are stuck on answering an application question or have any questions about the process at all refer to the New Player Application Guide which can be found here.

New Player Questions

 

What is this shiny [N] Tag I have?

The new-player tag allows one to learn the ways of the server with a guiding hand as it gives you the following:

 

- You will be hungry less often, meaning you need less food.

- It allows you to seamlessly integrate into the server and the community.

- Players will always be on the lookout to help you if you need help.

- Monks will be on hand to ease you into the server and teach you about the server.

 

I still have the new player tag! How do I get rid of it?
Your new player tag will go away automatically with 40 hours of active playtime, which you can check by doing /persona time. If you want to get it removed early which we can do after ten hours of playtime. you can also make a /creq in-game.

 

 

When do I get a second persona slot?
You can get a second persona slot once you no longer have the “New Player” tag! 

 

Do I have to apply again to make another character? How do I make a new character?
Nope! To make a second character, do /menu or /me while in-game. From there you’ll see a head in the bottom left that will tell you all the instructions you need! 

 

I accidentally selected the wrong race when making a new persona, how do I change it to the correct one?
You can either PK the persona slot and remake it, Outline in the persona description its correct race or you can make a /modreq and ask them to help you out! 

 

 I'm lost/stuck in-game!
If you get lost or stuck, feel free to run this command: /creq [what you need help with], which will send a request for a Community Team member to come help.

 

If you have any further questions about New Player tags, please submit a Creq in-game or contact someone on the community team via the forums or within the Discord help channel by @community with your query.

 

We also have the New Player Hub, which provides links to various server resources, from whitelisting to Command Tutorials. You can find it here.

 

 

Economy/Settlement Questions

 

How do I earn money?
The in-game currency is Minas. The fastest and easiest way to get it is through voting by doing /vote in-game. You could also get a job in Roleplay by visiting settlements and asking around! Many settlements offer jobs in their tavern, guard force, stewardry, and more!

 

What settlements/groups are there?
As this server is very diverse with various niches being fulfilled throughout the server, there is an endless number of groups you can join! For a list of the different nations on the server, check here. 

 

As for the different groups and guilds within the server, you can find them through roleplay, in the #rp-groups channel in the main LotC Discord Server, or under the Guilds sub-forum here.

 

How do I buy a house?
You can contact a steward of whatever place you’re choosing to settle in and they can help you out! If you’re not sure who is or isn’t a steward, you could always ask around in Roleplay, ask in the LotC Discord, or you can join their Discord server and ask! 

 

 Where and how can I build?
You can build wherever you have permission to - this typically applies to areas you're settling within! To get perms in a region, run the command /rg info [tile name], then scroll up. Under “Owners” you can message whoever’s name is in green or make a request in the respective settlement’s region permission channel! 

 

If you don’t know the tile name of the region, you can also do /rg info while standing in the region and it’ll tell you the name! 

 

 

General Lore Questions

 

What is a PK and when do I have to do it?
A PK is a permanent kill, which means that your character cannot come back to life. This will only occur if one of the following things happens:

- You decide to PK your character. 

- Your character kills themselves. 

- Your character addresses that they will be brought back to life by the monks in roleplay. 

- A Moderator asks you to PK, which is usually done when a rule has been broken concerning character death.

 

How do I learn magic?
You must find a teacher through roleplay.

 

Can my character be a villain/evil/kill people?
Your character can be a villain/evil or kill people as long as you follow the server rules! 

 

 

 

If you have any further questions about Server Lore, please look here for all current server lore, if you have any further questions you can submit a Sreq in-game or contact someone in the Story Team discord that can be found here.
